PERTANO, as i've always said, that is one the cleanest old school imports, much less Celica, that I've ever seen. Hopeful, who ever you sold it to is doing it justice. I know your RX4 will look just as good if not better.

Hey did anyone ever hear of the rx2 rx3 or rx4 going turbo before the j-spec rx7 went turbo in japan, the reason why I ask is because this old ladies husband who passed away about 10 yrs plus ago showed me blue prints to one of the old school rotaries going turbo. That **** was sick as hell. I can't give her name and info due to the confidential information. Im also trying to buy her husbands first gen rx-7 that is mint brand new condition all original. she's my grand mothers best friend almost like family.

One more question - what sort of "road" tyres can you buy that fit a 13x10 rim !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I am not sure. I was at a show once and some guy got all excited and told me they were TOMCATS. I'm not sure if that was the style or MFG. Either way I've never seen them before or since. I wish I had kept them to be honest, but they went with the car so they had to go. The car is being well taken car of now, so that's all that really matters.

Here is a close up pic of the wheels though.



Rotary Celica. You gotta see what is in the works now. It's gonna blow a few minds when I am done.

DAMN!!! It even has the super rare tea-cup (rotor) tail-lights. Let us know how everything works out. I think your smart for getting it shipped here. Probably getting a better car for a great price than what's available here.

Yeah, not a huge fan of the teacups either but you could almost pay for a paint job if you find the right buyer for those things!

Good choice on the Hexagons. Those are my favorite RX3 tails with the US SP lights as my 2nd choice.

Going by the interior, it looks like it is a slightly later model Savanna that would have had Hex's on it anyway??? Once you get it here you will know for sure by seeing if there are extra holes cut out of the taillight surround panel to fit the reverse lights on the Hex's... Do you know what month/year this model is?
