1984 Celica - Just Add Motor - GONE!!!


Recommended Posts

REDUCED:

Seat, firecharger & spare wheels no longer included, but the car is FREE to a good home!!!

 

Howdy All -
We’ve decided to move on from our 1984 Celica GT Chumpcar.

 

It ran the 2015 October Harris Hill race (23 laps, blew motor,) and the 2016 August COTA race (13 laps, blew another motor.)

While it has a motor in it, you should consider the motor complete garbage. After the COTA race, oil had a bunch of glitter, so something is very very unhealthy inside.

 

Perhaps you bought Night Fury’s Celica and you want a whole other shell just in case (bump for them, they’re great guys, helped us out a lot at the Harris Hill race in 2015.)

 

We think the rest of the driveline (trans, diff,) is probably OK still.

More pics here, and happy to take any others you need to see.

Safety Parts:
2016 chump tech sticker
1-3/4 x .095 DOM cage
G-Force 6-point camlock belts (2012)
Wired for coolshirt cooler, switch on cage (coolshirt/cooler not included.)

 

Things that are stock, but replaced with “OE-equivalent” parts right before 2015 race
Clutch
shocks/struts, balljoints, bushings in suspension (all of them)
Tie rods
Wheel bearings (front + rear)
Front calipers, rear cylinders
Front discs
Rear shoes

 

Things that are better than stock
Carbotech CT245 RP2 pads in front
Double-row aluminum radiator, dual electric fans
Toyo Proxes R1 225 45 ZR 15 tires. 7/32 tread left.
NRG 2.5 steering wheel quick release
Braided stainless brake lines

 

Things to be aware of
Has adjustable camber plate on one side, but has stock struts, meaning there isn’t any adjustment possible unless you do coilovers. Other camber plate is included, but not installed.
Relocated fuel filter to higher up in engine bay because it was impossible to access in stock location.
Stock EGR deleted, blockoff plates either TIG welded or bolted to head.
Solid motor mounts.
Texas title and bill of sale in hand from the guy we bought it from in 2011.
Battery not included, car not running. Bring a trailer, I'll help load :)

 

Spares included:
ECU
Head Gasket (at a minimum. there’s a couple mixed gasket sets included.)

 

Car is in north Austin, TX.

This is an awesome start to a fast race car. Like the owner said, stock  22 can't take it, but do an engine swap and the thing can be lightening fast. I did a 2JZ with mine.

 

I hope you find a buyer! It would be a nice second build for me if I had the time!

220hp and ~2300 pounds with 301 VPI? 

 

Sounds like that thing can be very fast (until the 14 gallon tank runs out).

Yep. Mine is a GT-S with IRS. 16.1 OEM fuel tank. I have a fuel cell. A stock Celica, not too competitive due to hp and tq, but with some mods, very good.

Thanks for the support, folks!

 

We're not getting out of the game, just need to make room to get the next car. 

 

I think with the right engine it'd be a riot, but we've just been staring at it so long we're ready for something different!!
