If my memory still works, I remember them from the mid-80's. I haven't ordered anyhting from them as our area has had plenty of salvaged Toyota's to choose. I'd be curious to call them up and see what they may have for my '80 Celica now. Thanks for reminding me.

'80 Celica was a great car. I'd love to see a picture of it.

Daryl-

Lowered 2" by hack saw. (A youthful act of stupidity)
Doug Thorley tri-Y header with 2" plumbing.
Shaved emblems
Polished valve cover and minor ignition mods.

I go back and forth on how much the build the engine...a modest daily driver to something to give the Integras and Civics a run. I've debated a 2JZ from the IS and GS300 but that is a long shot.

Nice lookin' ride. Those late '70's/early 80's Celicas were great cars.

Thanks Daryll-

TAP was highly recco'd and I have their number in my old Celica file. (Thought it sounded familiar.) They didn't have anythign I wanted for the Celica when I called today so I dunno how pricing and shipping are.
