70s Racing Inspired V8 Swapped Toyota Celica - AKA Tokyo Trans Am

Sara n Tuned is doing her own V8 swap on her channel. She is using a Toyota V8 from a Tundra. Same wheels looks like.

❤O M G❤
The only thing that could be said. Larry I did not realize the theme I’m looking for my 2016 Tacoma. I want the influences to come from this era of Toyota. Along with an LS swap or Coyote Ford or Chrysler Hemi.
P.S. Recommend a person please Larry.

When I was 15 my first car was a 1972 Celica st lowrider with 3" flared fenders, deep dish turbine mags with Dunlop GT Qualifiers. Quickor suspension mods. Powered by an 18 RU with a 4 speed transmission.
It could hang 90* turns at 55 all day long.

The Finnegan's Blasp Hemi on the back

I Just Luv'it! Thank you, J

Did anyone noticed that the dodge demon followed the body design of the celice st?

Genial

r.i.p curt hooker are you slow are you are yao tao

Question, where would the hot rodding community be without the 74-78 Mustang? Everyone says they are the ugliest Mustang, but the parts are used on almost every hot rod.

It sounded great at the end …. Oh wait

I wonder how many times Sarah in Tuned has watched this?

Very cool.

You didn't start it, though.

I have always liked the styling of the first gen Celica & wouldn't mind having one with LS power.

A 2JZ would have been much better putting a V8 in a Toyota is just a violation. Why does everyone think you need a V8 to get power it's beyond me

nicee Inno64 has this model I was looking to order

Do you know anybody who’s done the same kind of a job with a corona mark 2 ??

Shit!!! This car is the sickest . Its my dream car!

Awesome, another video about a car that is only shown for 10 seconds, then the guys film themselves for the remaining half hour

I always dreamed a Yellow body ta 22

Has this video been chopped of at the end?? If I'm not mistaken one could hear the engine and exhaust right at the end...

Beautiful

Wow. Way cool!

LOVE this car, the fact it was done in Canada is just a bonus (from BC)

Blasphemi!!!

Is that Canary Yellow?

Real nice. Excellent workmanship. Glad to see Celica's getting a little recognition.
I have had many Toyotas over the decades. I still have my first one purchased in 75. It is the 1975 Celica Coupe St with 43,000 mi. On it. AZ car until 2006. I drive it every couple weeks but it mostly stays in the hanger. I also have my 76 GT liftback. It has over 700,000 mi. It's last engine upgrade was a V12 from a Toyota century. Mild engine work it's putting out around 550 very reliable streetable HP
And I still have my 80 Hilux long bed 4 x 4. It has a stroked stage 3 22r 5 speed and Marlin crawler. With 529 gears on 40 in tall tires with 9 in of lift. I purchased all these new. And I had many others in between as well. Some I wish I still had.
I do have a 43 Willys with a 22R in it also.

this is my literal dream

😍

what did this guy actually do? wish I had his "buddies", his "engineer". do we call vendors buddies? the guy who actually builds things "my engineer" ?

Celeeeka, you're fired.🤣

Omg that paint job :O

Awesome, my friend just did a shoot up here in Canada with this guy!
awesome car, love the old livery and the build!!

Love the plaid interior! Great work

Would have love to hear what the Celica had to say about all of this ;)

When u need a Japanese classic to bring attention to the domestic crap

I had a 77 Celica, always wished it had a v8 in it.

Do all Canadians pronounce "Celica" "Celeeca" and Z "Zed"?

@1.11 yes

The T,A badge is perfect. Because its a modle TA 22 celica.

So this is a great car... yea. But to me right now I think it's jus a toy. They NEVER started it! So it's jus a car with some different engine in it.... too bad. Bet it woulda sounded awesome!!

I've never heard it pronounced sell-E-Ka before

These were so much better than the 510s but the 510s got all the attention in the back in the day.

I so miss my 73 1st gen celica with a built 18rg header and duel webbers

Classic, V8, widebody, Celica?
Shoutout to anyone who know this from FH3 C and B class.

Hey farva!

It really doesn't need a big V8 to do well on a track.. it's a high dollar build, that is made to look like a garage build... I give it a 7 out of 10☢️
