Here, you'll find information about my 1983 RA60 Celica. After the original engine developed a terminal oil leak, I have installed a Japanese import engine called the 1G-GTE. It's a 2.0L DOHC EFI 24V water to air intercooled twin turbo inline six cylinder!

I've joined the ToyMods Car Club here in Sydney. So now I see a lot of psychopaths pretty often and terrorise V8's with them. :)
