Simple title for a fairly wild Celica XX, currently for sale in Japan...
Oooh.. aaahh...
Hows that choice of colour? VERY different, and looks pretty damn good draped over the thoroughly-altered bodywork..
To repeat a little of the same Celica XX chit-chat I've likely gone through before here; this is the second generation of Celica-based 'Supra', still sold in Japan as the '
Celica XX' Two main bodystyles available; one with flares/spoilers/etc (the P type ones...) and the other much more Celica-ey (the L type..).
This one - likely the latter - has then had all sorts of modifications done, to leave it looking more aggressive than even the most ridiculous of the factory efforts! Large front lip, vented front guards, deep skirts, smoothed sides and flared arches, flying-buttress style hatch with integral spoiler, and an elaborate underspoiler..thing..
..aand that fantastic 'Twin Cam' rear garnish filler panel, forcing the numberplate to.. uh, pretty much have no home. Not sure what the plan was for this, but hell.. looks cool..
The wide, vented, front arches, and pulled rears; over a set of wide SSR Formula Mesh. Simple but interesting choice.. and hey, they've got caps!
Rainbow flake on the scuttle/cowl..
The interior is a little scruffy, but hey - digital dash! That 'electronic display'...
...aaand last pic. There were a couple shots of the engine bay, but ehh... just not flattering..
The 1G-GEU twin-cam straight 6.. working through a 5speed manual, and onto the trailing-IRS rear end.
..definitely needs a little detailing.
Might be the least of the cars troubles at the moment though..
That green paint seems to be hiding a few rust issues. Absolutely not surprising at all for a Toyota of this era, but something for the next/new owner to keep an eye on!
So there you go.
Currently for sale for ~1million yen (~9k USD). Not a huge amount of money for all that style...
