steve, yep very nice to drive, loads of low down power

macca, power was over 600bhp...possibly as much as 675 to propel that lardy lux pack up the 1/4 in that time/speed front diff was a quaiffe thickwall with atb unit but the thickwall casing shat its pants and broke, changed to a 7" R+D unit but only used the car a couple of times after that before i broke it up.


Yep it is the red one on piston heads

Cheers for the comments guys

clive and roy used to work on my blue cossie celica that i had a few years ago before i moved back across the water to edinburgh. your car seems familiar. i was thinking it was from there as i remember looking over one that looked the similar that was big power when i was in one day.

this was my celica, it was in RJM a lot as i was quite good at breaking it.....

Beautiful looking EsCos Kev.
Red is THE colour and Ronnies are THE wheels for them IMO.
Saw it on pistonheads and was rather tempted myself but I have enough on with my shonky old shuvit.
Your monster motor under the bonnet and RWD will be heavenly
