First-Gen Celica for the 21st Century

By Jen

Editor

I ran across Koich’s sweet ‘71 Toyota Celica in the forum at the Old School Japan Group. He’s updated this classic by swapping in a F20C Honda S2000 motor, then adding a cold air intake and a lot of aftermarket AE86 brake and suspension parts, including big slotted rotors. He’s also installed a carbon fiber hood from Restored, a company specializing in reproduction parts for vintage Japanese rides. This old Celica is probably the nicest one I’ve ever seen, but for some reason, Koich has more pics and info in the forum thread than he does on his ride page! What’s the deal, man? We want to see this page get built so we can get the story on what was surely a very interesting restoration project.

You didn’t hear this from me, but a story on this very car is scheduled for a future issue of Grassroots Motorsports.
