Toyota Celica T18: Red and dangerous

This Toyota Celica is now worth several times more than the models of the same model year, looks like a modern sports car, and keep up with it can only be very, very fast car. But tuning it yet, and the middle is not visible. In our country, Toyota Celica in the back with an index of T18 can be bought quite cheaply, especially if the technical condition of the car is not perfect, and the paint has already met its fifth winter. For business travel this vehicle is unlikely to fit, but the tuning just right: a cheap donor with a good motor and athletic appearance. Sergey bought Toyota Celica red just to realize their ambitions tuning, which he, like the head of a service station car was in excess. First, the car was subjected to technical tuning. Refinement of the power plant was carried out the biggest difference way possible: native 110-horsepower engine replaced the 165-strong from Toyota Levin. We can not say that the transfer engine was a simple procedure, but with this helpful employees coped without too much trouble. Much harder it was to setup a new engine. As a result, its control unit has received a new "firmware." Program for the "brains» Toyota Celica wrote Andrew Bune, a well-known St. Petersburg specialist in tuning Japanese engines. Increases power - increases the brake. It's not just a rule of literate tuning, but the "rule of life." Increased horsepower tyuningerov forced to think about improving the effectiveness of the brakes. Immediately after the completion of the engine rear drum brakes, replaced the disc, at the same time instead of full-hydraulic parking brake set. The exhaust system has also changed. Now from the exhaust manifold pipe is a large cross section (of course, without catalysts), topped by tuning "jar» ProSport. First tyuningery not going to hold serious rework the exhaust system, and would confine the back part, or even do an overlay on the exhaust pipe. However, the idea that a serious car will not "sound" tuned release did not like anyone. Therefore, after long study of various exhaust systems available in stores and catalogs, they stopped at a budget option - Russian brand, manufactured in Asian factories. And the quality is good, and if that warranty service is close contact. The next stage - the body. The name of the kit plastic lining sounds like the name of a classical piece of music - Erebuni Celica Style № 667. Nature of this "overture" from bumpers and sills, which are well fit into the style of the car, despite the complexity of forms. In the front bumper built a couple of additional protivotumanok and custom tuning for the bumper element - parking sensor. Pretty worked tyuningery with head optics. One of the main differences from the more modern T18 model Celica with an index of body T20 - the principle of placing the head of optics, which in T18 retracted under the hood. In that car headlights will not retract. New design of optics made of fiberglass and has no analogues. In the head optics system implemented xenon light, and the side turn signals installed the "cilia", visually reducing the profile of lamps. The final touches of external tuning - illumination: under the bottom of the machine installed a few neon lights and in front of optics have placed a couple of stroboscopic. "For dessert - interior tuning. He has changed so much that even an avid "selikavod" did not immediately recognize it salon favorite model. Interior Celica completely moved in with the same Toyota Levin, who for the sake of "Sisters" has lost the engine. Salon obtyanuli black leather, but seats have red inserts in the body color. In the front doors constructed of fiberglass catwalks that obtyanuli red skin. Podiums make the interior more perfect in terms of aesthetics, but also contain two 3-way speaker sound system of Italian AD. Third tweeters mounted in the front rack door. The rear speakers of 600? Watt amplifier Twister, working in symbiosis with two subwoofers Stealth. In the rear stands - another "Tweeters and midrange. The head unit, power supply this excellent system - an expensive receiver Alpine. The instrument panel in such a machine could not remain the standard. In the first place have additional instrument scale ProSport, then additional devices Pivot stylish round dials. Sergei was determined not to rest on our laurels. By summer it will install a turbine (which will increase the capacity of the motor forces of up to 210-220), will pick up 18-inch wheels with low profile tires and pokolduet with the suspension, which is likely to fall slightly due to the installation of truncated sport springs. And then something else will come up. Tuning issues and good, he can continue indefinitely. And how do his red Toyota Celica Erebuni Style № 667 is even more dangerous for the opponents in the races at 400 meters, Sergei knows. Ways to have more than enough! 3 - 2006 Sergey Yakovlev Photo by Ivan Simonov
