Thank you!

It’s an old video from the build on the car. But sometimes I like to go rewatch them to remember what we did on the car!

I had a blast racing the celica yesterday! It was also really nice to reconnect with you guys and gals I hadn’t seen in a few years! 2020 was the last time I had raced. I was a little rusty but half way through the first run it all came back to me. The tow rig is something Tony built. It’s his farm truck, essentially it’s a 1950 mercury sitting on a 08 super duty. It’s fast enough to out run a lot of high end super cars. As far as driving experience in the celica So good and the car is very predictable and very controllable at the limit. It’s very balanced, transitions left to right very quickly. It takes a hair pin very tight. I really love the 2.3 ecoboost. Drop it In second on launch and leave it there, it will do almost 100kmh in 2nd. Power pulls well from 3000-7000rpm. We have a small to do list now but not much at this point. One of those being spacing the brake and accelerator pedals further apart. A couple hair pins we blew on the approach hitting the accelerator while braking. The car was a lot of fun and has the potential to be very fast as the driver mod improves. Honestly though we didn’t even care if we placed well or not we were there just to have fun driving it at the limit. I have not made a YouTube video in a while. I think I’ll throw an update video together and put it up this on YouTube in a week or 2. one last question does any one have video or photos of us on track with it? I’d love to see the photos/video of it running. And with your permission put it on the YouTube video. Thanks, Devin

It’s painted battle ship grey at the moment. It was not insured at the harvest fest show. The goal was to bring it to corn and apple car show! We met that goal and I got to talk to so many people there! Probably 5 people around the car checking it out at any given point. We had a hard time getting away from the car to check out the other cars. I’ve driven it around town for the last 2 weeks for the first time, soo much fun!

Tony and I finally have our 1972 celica ready to bring to an event or 2 this September. It’s our 1 year build that took. 5 years🤦‍♂️. Just had the engine tuned yesterday. my question is how do we register for an event? Do I need a membership? What else should we know before we come? It’s been a long time since we raced last and I forgot some of the details.

Are there any test and tune days? Tony and I finally have our car running we would love to get some good seat time in it to get familiar with it.

The car is done but I’ve put it up for sale. So I can finish some other car projects on the go including the race car Tony and I are building. I have it listed on kijiji. I priced it high on purpose due to people liking to low ball stuff so if you are interested in a miata mine is for sale. I’ll entertain offers.

I finally have a few videos up on the car. More to come:

Ok link won’t show up I’ll see if I can figure it out

So I’ve owned this car for something like 8 years! It’s the most fun thing on wheels! Lots of memories. Some of you may remember seeing it a few years back at autocross. It had baked paint from living most of its life in the hot Arizona sun. That being said it’s never driven in the winter salt and is rust free, like totally solid! I’ve said every summer I’m going to paint it next winter. But the snake charmer and 73 celica builds have kept me from painting it. Now my 73 celica has nothing left except the engine build. Which I have been waiting over a year for braizer to do a simple machine of the block and head work So perfect time to finally paint the miata! My photos are too high resolution but here is the Facebook link: FLOWMASTER Promor

This was an exciting couple days! 4-5 years on a “one year build” and Tony and I finally get to drive the car for the first time. Building a house, new babies, covid seem to extend the build length. When we started the build we were the first ones to do a 2.3L ecoboost engine swap and probably the last ones to finish it . It’s not done yet and a few new things to sort out! I had fun putting this video together:

And a video update:

First time seeing the chassis we built from underneath!

Dason, The hope has been to keep it street legal! Thanks for the compliments! Yup that sucked burning that belt! Working hard to hit those forst 3-p. The last “p” has led us to fabricate and repurpose things.
