9000rpm in a ‘77 Toyota Celica. Is an F22c the Perfect Celica Motor Swap?

- This right here is a car built off of a seat. Yep, you heard that right. Midnight Purple Pearl looks. When Peter Vong got his hands on a set of super rare Bride seats, he knew he needed to put them in something worthy of the rareness. And that car is an RA24 Toyota Celica - one of the finest examples of old school JDM muscle. And powering it is a Honda F22c (out of an AP2 S2000) slathered in neochrome in an engine bay shaved to unreal levels of cleanliness.

Boys i'm from Europe.. That little midnight purple-blue Toyota modified like that with S2000 parts less than 300 pony horses is way too sweet..
any car guy gotta love it so much.. the stance, the look inside-out +engine bay the way it goes.. Full RESPECT it's definitely, made with a lot of passion.. ;0)
Can I buy this from you? Lol
Your man didn't do much research thers loads of companies making stuff for these celicas 🤦♂️
That looks like LAKE FOREST. Right off the 5s just west of it in an industrial area ... but, maybe irvine. (tempted to look up the addresses).
"... If it has wheels, I'm interested..." That's the spirit!!
Exactly the way I feel. If it has an engine, I love it. Bikes or cars.... just love all of them.
Mobility scooter with a 2j when?
I know right, I feel the exact same way. I'm also that way with motorcycles, 2 wheels and a motor, I like it I don't care who it's made by.
That's how I feel! I tell people that I never grew out of Matchbox cars. I've been obsessed with cars my entire life! And racecar spelled backwards is RACECAR!
Damn right....
That exhaust pipe looks like it has an inch of ground clearance XD how have they not ripped that off yet
I love Larry. He is well known, a good driver, and has extensive experience driving cars. Yet he still is so respectful, “can I rev it”. He doesn’t expect his name to mean do what you want. He’s so awesome.
❤
Screw the lambo. I want the old toyota any day!
That's what i was saying super cars aren't too super anymore by today's standards anyway.
It looks like a baby challenger in a weird beautiful way except I want to love it forever and ever! 😩😩
Shout out to Andy Vang, S2k swap originator. Mad props and respect my man.
I can’t explain how much I love this car. My first new car was a 2000 6 speed Celica GT-S. I built the car and drove the hell out of it from auto-x to over 100 1/4 mile runs. I convinced my dad to get and s2000 which he still has to this day. I drive it to this day and my son loves the s2000. This car is amazing.
Needs a good exhaust next.
I had to do a double take... at first, I thought it was a 1st gen Camaro, and a sick one at that! That celica is BEAUTIFUL!
For those of you wondering, the guy saying "I cant even" his name is Sam Tabor. He basically makes Hoonigan videos but for skateboarding
Damn dude I just spent an hour watching his videos after this and I cANT EVEN
@@GucciSocks. yeah he's hilarious
That exhaust is killing me. Such a beautiful car perfectly done and hideous exhaust job.
What a great owner. Good to see someone doing well and collecting/building great cars
The Celica is my favorite out of the collection. Love the first gen Celicas coupes and the fastback
I couldn’t get a date for my grad in ‘79, so I had all my 8x10’s shot with my gorgeous yellow/gold -black vinyl roof ‘77 Celica ST. The 22R with the 5-speed was so wonderful.
Back in 1990 I had a 1975 Celica GT & A 1979 Celica liftback! Love these cars so much! Wish I still had them! But this 1977 Celica is so "BADASS" wish this was my car! If you ever plan on selling it PLEASE! Let me buy it!!!💯👌🤙😲
Its crazy how much it the overall bodylines look like an old but smaller Camaro with this paint! Absolutly stunning build!
I like this guy, he built an amazing 77 Celica and I love the fact he loves cars in general. Shouldn't ever matter if it's JDM, Euro or Muscle they are all amazing in their own ways.
That celica needs a 5.7 liter tundra v8...
I've had Many many people tell me please LS, or F22 your Celica, all good, but nah, not for me. Love your build, beautiful!
Rainbow colors everywhere. These 2 asian dudes are super happiest together ever after.
The body lines remind me so much of a first gen Camaro only smaller lol
I've herd enthusiasts refer to them as mini mustangs in the past
For real tho. But better looking .
Cam Davies hatch is the mustang coupe is camaro, little Japanese muscle cars lol
@@kanyewestlover7645 facts
19:02 I like how he starts talking about thow he needed A/C and while he's telling the story making it sound interesting he says "out in Corona it's like 100- like almost 90 degrees" it's like he heard himself being a little to extra with the details of the story lol. Great shoot that day Larry! 👍🏽😎.
What's with the crappy fitment of the exhaust???
additional sound effects when it scrapes
i am surprised that hes okay with it basically inside the road lolol
The best of both worlds, a classic Toyota with Honda power!
Love the lines on this car, looks like a tiny Camaro
One of the reasons I love em. Look like a miniature muscle car..
A buddy of mine bought one in 1970, their first year, and the same year I bought a 1970 Camaro Z/28. The Celica WAS a tiny ponycar! Even Wikipedia says that the Celica was Toyotas version of the 1964 Mustang. It was light, quick, and a blast to be in!
Exactly why I love it and why the flares work. This car is near perfect. I’m not really into the stance scene but this car is perfect and the quality is insane. I am in love.
That's exactly what I was thinking, 68 or 69 Z28.
@@carlhilton4747 yeah has a similar look to it
Very nice build ... owner seems really down to earth... those ITB's!!!
I've been waiting all day for this up load!!! Larry always killing it!! Best channel hands down!! Bam Bam Boom!! Someone brought a Supra aahhhhh...
I love this so much I’m looking for one. I just love the two circle headlight look with that smooth hood hanging slightly over the bumper
Loooove Larry's videos more than I enjoyed the Build Bio videos lol Larry is just so happy to be around these cars and it SHOWS!
I loved the LT-1 in my 1970 Z/28 Camaro, but I also loved the motors in the two S2000s that I’ve gotten to drive. The howl they make up near the redline is thrilling! 🔥 What a great swap! 🎉
Cool build! I feel like this is one of few cars that the whole neochrome thing works. Most times its a bit too much for my taste but looks great here with the midnight purple paint job!
AYYY I've been following Peter on instagram for a while now! Glad to see that this beaut is getting the attention it deserves!
Having love for muscle cars and mini trucks then front wheel drives as my progression... This is an ultimate throwback to my youth.. Born in '78 one of these has appeal
Larry ALWAYS brings that Fire. You always find yourself some really amazing cars.
7:19 something about you saying this is a 50 year old car hurts my soul. When I think late 70's, I'm like ok yeah that's not too bad. This thing is old though haha
The Speed Academy channel would have a field day with this car!!❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I drove a '77 Celica GT Coupe back in the mid-80's and have always liked the lines of these cars. Thanks to Peter for sharing this car with the rest of us and to you Larry for helping him accomplish that.
I drove a 73 and 77 near new but I do not recall one made that wasn't a hatchback in 76 and 77.
@@bobbg9041 They must have kept making coupes. The brochures only show the hatchs later on but I personally have a ST 74 that is actually a 73 version of the car but I'm pretty sure it was built before they shifted to making the 74 version. Course it's got 3 cars on it so it might not be an ST and I don't know if it was auto or manual atm, I'll likely find out sometime tho.
Wow, that is a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Been dreaming of owning one of these for a very long time. Love the build
Beautiful car. I've always loved these celicas and this one is the best I've ever seen.
Done right. Best Celica I've seen so far. Kudos
Wow that sounds and looks beautiful, what an awesome job truly stunning and the paint job is lush 👍🤘
Worst exhaust job ever on a car of this caliber. Can’t believe they fabbed it to hang that low.
It also has neochrome in 2020, dont know whats worse. His RX7 looks nice tho!
the exhaust hangs that low for a reason. its because the cars on bags. if you raise it all the way up the exhaust is alot less retarded looking. its for clearance
@@Doggepp this car was built in like 2013 or 14. he's pretty much kept it the way he finished it.
I think if he likes it then it's the best exhaust he could of picked.
@@Doggepp what is neochrome?
One of my favorite builds.. just perfection...
This dude had me at: "I don't like overfenders".
Old school build with an eye for quality parts, quality install, quality paint, and no cut corners.
Great build.
Nice thought to make that setup and achieve it well good shit. sounds great and nothing looks better than old school
These cars are seriously the best looking cars to come out of the 70’s
I really don't like "same country, different make" engine swaps but this is so dope.
That's a great swap. Fair number have been done now.
Broooo this is my dream car.Thanks for motivating me getting it.
I'm struggling to keep my car legal and on the road, If you're struggling to drive that beauty my birthday is coming up I'd be beyond happy to drive this car every single day and love every second of it.
What a dope build. I like how he's into all cars too, not just married to one brand like Toyota. I have a couple of 911s now and Porsche owners only seem to know Porsche. However, I've had JDM, muscle cars, euros, old Toyotas...I'd have kept them all if I had the space!
I remember when Andy V in sacramento had his Red celica 70-71, believe he was the first to do a s2k motor swap. Was featured in Magazine also.
This is what happens when u comment b4 finishing.lol... it was Andy who swapped it.😃
very cool.... would welcome learnings (to do's, not to do's....)) for my 1977 Celica rebuild project going on right now. -Daryl
That Celica is badass from top to bottom. Peter is very talented when it comes to his builds. Can't wait to see the next one.
Alex Mastrangelo I think he’s more rich than talented lol
@@davidp605 Well that's your opinion. Peter is a personal friend of mine. And he is so down to Earth and humble. And one day I hope he could help me build my car.
@@alexmastrangelo301 did the man “help” you built your dream car yet ?
Do you know Andy Vang too
larry chen: oh + owen wilson: wow = cassie from skins: oh wow
I'm old enough to know this reference. Damn I'm old.
Wow
Love that Cilica!
I am fortunate to still have my 75 Celica St. I drive it very little has 43,000 original miles. And remains mostly stock.
I also have a 76 Celica GT liftback. It has a stock rear window louver, much larger ducktail spoiler, molded in front spoiler, and fender flares coming straight down in back into mud flaps, much like the older vets. "Or vans" I am in the process of putting in a Toyota century V12 with 6-speed. This car has had various engines over the years and it has well over five hundred thousand miles on it. Only wish I still had my 76 Hilux double cab 1 ton with the dualies it was a 77 I do have an 80 4 x4. I'm old-school so it sits on a 7in Skyjacker suspension with 37" tires 5:29 gears, air lockers front and rear. And a 2nd Marlin crawler low range to Double double Down. It has a stroked 22R with large valves and ported head.
I love Toyotas. All these vehicles I purchased new decades ago. As well as many others over the years.
Like you, "if it has wheels I'm interested", from my old tractors to my airplanes. LOL
I need €8000 to buy a ra28 celica and fulfill my dream can you help me out
That generation Celica looks like a mini 69’ Camaro. I like it! Want one now
Toyota chassis, honda power, beautiful nissan paint, German wheels, epic
LARRY YOU'S A BEAST WITH IT...KEEP UP THE GOOD CAMAROGRAFO WORK! 🚗💨
Great work, Peter. It's a beautiful car.
Wtf exhaust brooo!!!
Car is sick
This is the swap I want to do on my 77 Toyota Corolla.... Nice ride! My dad has a 75 Celica GT.
Thank you for making this car!!!
Thanks for finishing the car Peter!
Andy Vang
Thanks Andy, appreciate it and heard all about your legend.
Now im checking prices on used celicas thanks Larry
That car looks like 68 Camaro, a baby brother
The Japanese Camaro😂. Part of me wants to built a Japanese Style ‘67 or ‘68 Camaro, and an American Muscle inspired Celica (kind of like the Edelbrock one).
@@steviejmes American Cars in Japanese style look amazing. I don't like the design of an Corvette past the C3, but god this C4 Corvette is probably one of the best looking American Car builds I've ever seen instagram.com/p/B_Xxf0FBJoM/. Honestly this looks like how the car was meant to be, it just works so well.
Thank you Larry; Thank you Peter! Luv your cars...
So clean, love those fenders
Such a gorgeous build!
It is so cool that I couldn't realize that this is a TA22!.
Cool owner, amazing cars, Larry at his finest
Peter is My kind of Car 'collector'!! All 'MAKES'!! As Quoted: If it has 'Wheels' i'm 'Interested'!...Carry ON!! Nothing like the LEVEL of Peter's 'Collection'....but i also have a 'Mixed Bag' of Cars as Well!!..
What a beautiful build. So Inlove.
ITB's are all looks and sounds I love them even on the old Toyota engines ♥️🔥💯
ITBs velocity on 1uzfe 4.0L 244 C.I.D
is one sexy bee-@tch !!
"smiles per gallon"
🤣😂 I like this guy👍
Beautiful, what a car and talking about #backintheday I remember when they were brand new! I remember my aunt getting a brand new 280z with a cobra air brushed on the hood! I think he said the right thing! Car guys love everything!
Incredible build!
My dream car old school celica. Nice build.
The colour scheme on this is PERFECT. MAX RESPECT.
Been waiting a long time to see some Te-37s on an exotic car. Looks pretty good.
Love Larry's content!
My Datsun came with a lot of that Oklahoma rust as well haha. I'm in the middle of restoring the metal as we speak.
“Balanced power” wise words. I used to run a turbo’d Na Miata, the 1.6 would run 155 wheel at 7psi and 210 at 12/13. Definitely not the fastest Miata out there, but on the twisty rural roads of Somerset Uk, it would seriously embarrass many much faster, heavily built cars. The key was the suspension set up, the right tyres and a motor that would willingly give you all you needed, but not too much. And now I drive a 20 yr old Jag XJ8, that’s being in your 40’s for you......
big up somerset!! did you ever take it down cheddar Gorge?
Kieran Murphy yes mate! I lived 20mins from the gorge on the edge of the Mendips when I had the mx5. There’s some prime driving roads in the area and always used to be quite a few modified toys about. You near to the area? Peace
Back in 1988 i had a JDM 73 LT which was later swapped for a 2tgeu before it was sold 2 years later for a galant wagon....regrets.....hated the window regulators...never could get it right.....and those front windscreen chrome trims ARE FRIGGIN EXPENSIVE!!!!!
Deceptive useable smooth power. Very nice!
69,420 bonus points for proper pronounciation of "Bride"
So well done, agree with the engine choice even.
That's a sick ass Celica, and the paint ? JESUS, that's hella SICK🤙
PHENOMENAL CLASSIC IMPORT....
The most beautiful celica I've ever seen. 👍🏾💯
Cool Celica I had a 1977 liftback model. Headers, high performance cam, western wheels. Stock 20R engine. I ended up having to sell it But it went to a person who worked at a classic car dealership.
Good job 👏👍🏻. Beautiful celica 😍
Beautiful build! 😍
larry's hair is mad funky, i love it
that engine bay goooorgeous
Larry you are the sickest! Keep it up
It´s that NA - over 5k rpm - Smile!
Aside from the air ride this thing is on point!
intelligent combo sir!
