well i found this on ebay, for $900 so i emailed the lady and got her down to 750, Anyway its a 1984 ra65 celica, its in pretty good condition except for the paint, the best part about the car is it gots bilstien shocks in the front and rear from what the guy said, but have to check that out, its nice and stiff, interior is sweet super clean, the only thing is i need a radiator for it as the one in it has a small leak, so if anyone has one tell me

Plans- suss, wheels dont know to go 14's or 15's, maybe supra lsd probs locker as its cheap and easy, skid it till 22re blows up and then swap either to a BEAMS or a j motor
some crappy pics will get more soon,

14's will win.

Also, rip alllll the emissions and ERG shit off the 22RE, Bump up the AFM a notch, crank the timing and run it on 98RON.

A auto cressy diff will throw the ratio up to 4.1 and will make it slide easier.

Hit up ill-minded or myself if you require any info, we both have RA65 threads with plenty of info in them.

also worth noting that standard 22R's breathe pretty badly at higher revs, so there isn't much use revving it past about 4.5-5k. bit of porting and an aftermarket cam will fix that, but if you're only thrashing the 22R to kill it, probably not worth the money/effort.

spending the money on suspension is a good start. the S13 swap is a bit pooey when lowered, just ask marv about it. KE70 rear shocks are also very short and don't offer much droop at moderately low setups (~110mm ride height) so stick with the standard ones unless you're gonna run proper low like marv did.

also looks like you have power steering, which means more lock straight out ;)

yea ivebeen lurking your threads for a while lol the lady i bought it off said it didnt have ps but on closer inspection it defs does, i just want to buy things for it but no money, defs 14x8 all round, irs with good sized wheels wins so much, got kyb short strokes from my t18, but its got bilsteins in the rear that are so nice still just need to find some springs for the rear as i have some fronts at home, home being adel but im in nsw, got my omp wheel coming soon to, selling some of my crap to get some more parts,
marv how did you go about pulling off the emission crap

the lady you bought it off probably had weak arms :P it definitely has power steering though, cause i can see the pump in the engine bay pic, just under the dizzy. keen to see another RA65 out there though :)

Google helps too. That's where I got all of my information. I removed all emissions and there is HEAPS.

There is also emissions shit from exhaust, it goes around the back of the head and there is a little canister under the intake manifold.. I think I just looped them before I got extractors (which eliminates it)

Also, AE86 rack ends fit. I got some machined ones for more lock for around 120 a pair new. A guy on here makes them.
