Hawaii Cars: 1977 Toyota Celica

[@n0eLoL]

This is an old video I made last year that wasn't intended for my KZbin channel, but since I haven't put out anything in a while I figured.. sure why not.

[@TheRunq11]

n0eLoL Thanks mate!

[@benjaminbuljevic7977]

nice dude

[@sekang0]

Glad you decided to post this one out! Celica vs. Silica lol

[@rohituchil5776]

n0eLoL hi, i am starting to restore a 1976/77 ta28 L celica liftback. All searches are pointing to thailand for parts. Anyone have any ideas where i can get body restoration parts rubber etc. Any guidance will be appreciated Rohit

[@raulgutierrez506]

Hi Noel, I have the 4 steelies with the 4 rings and the 4 T caps if you still need them, I remove them from a Celica 77 coupe that is my project right now.

[@chrischarles9218]

Im in love with 70s Celicas. They are so rare anymore but I hope to have one as a project car when I retire

[@waderogers]

I owned a 1977 Toyota Celica back in 1981. Great car. Loved the ESP system, which I thought was ahead of its time. It had the 20R engine which gave me no problems what so ever. And yes, the car was brown! It had the 5 speed tranny in it and believe it or not, I got the car up to about 130 mph while driving in the middle of the night to Dallas Texas! Thanks for sharing your video.

[@BrianOfAteionas]

This, and the 3rd gen liftback are definitely my favorite Celicas.

[@StormHawksHD]

I have a 3rd gen :)

[@niicholas175]

Awesome video, my dad owns a blue 1977 2000 GT Celica with all the original parts.

[@jamescurran1375]

Great looking silica you've got there

[@JCFilmsHI]

Wow what a Gem! Looks lovely! Nice one Noel!

[@JoeDaFivefoota]

HAHAHA at the end! Love it. roll my eyes at all the "sileekuh" posts on YT. I have a 74 GT Coupe and had a 73 ST. I'm planning on a resto/mod with more emphasis on "resto". Nice car bruh. Keep posting. Subbed.

[@wallacelakehomestead6616]

I bought one in 1977 a silver silica GT liftback love that car

[@tinmar501]

Man,you're celica is AMAZING! i love when people leave her car stock,expect wheels ! She his super clean,my dream celica look like your's haha!

[@n0eLoL]

thank you, yes this ones definitely going to be mostly stock... I already have another Celica that's way too modded.

[@BoonieDutchman]

Hahaha that ending :P. I wrote you on reddit couple of times and showed you green celica that I bought, I had no idea you had a second one. Now Im thinking about that too. 1 drift car and 1 daily car. I sold my bmw 335i for this no regrets at all.

[@KingDingie]

Didnt know you had two! Nice!!! We gotta see more of project fury tho!!!

[@n0eLoL]

Yep! Bone stock Celica and slightly modified Celica. Eventually I'll give the ole Fury its own series and its own Hawaii Cars vid.

[@KingDingie]

"slighlty modified".... hahaha cant wait! keep up the cool builds

[@noot9360]

thank you!

[@n0eLoL]

you're welcome!

[@TheBSRecord]

hahaha awesome man, love the video! Again, I love your shooting and editing styles, great job. keep up the great work! Also, I need all the silicia pads, it's too friggin humid in ky lol

[@n0eLoL]

thank you thank you! Tell me about it man, its pretty humid up here in Hawaii too

[@SavageMotoring]

Celica squad!

[@dardar1311]

LMAO! I love the ending. Good one bruddah.

[@trainsbangsandautomobiles824]

*People laugh when they here that a 95hp engine was made to compete with the Mustang.. But remember, the base model Mustangs of this time had larger displacement 4 cyl's that not only had lower power than the Celica GT, but weighed more, handled poorer, and even a base model Mustang still costed more than a nice Celica. *

[@lokahiinocelda2719]

sarcasm on point.

[@n0eLoL]

no idea what you're talking about

[@raulgutierrez506]

Hi Noel, I have the 4 steelies with the 4 rings and the 4 T caps if you still need them, I remove them from a Celica 77 coupe that is my project right now.

[@n0eLoL]

I was able to get a set last year but thank you for hitting me up!

[@dwilson2126]

Nice! Still really like this body style

[@ExplosiveMachine]

holy shit this car looks good. I don't mind the supra wheels but they really do stand out because they came a period later.

[@n0eLoL]

Explosive Machine agreed 100%, 80s retro look on a sleek 70s body does not match

[@mrtracy6398]

I had four of these back in the 70s and I let them slip through my fingers dooooooooo

[@wangyida2071]

Clean car m8 still waiting for the next 86 episode

[@n0eLoL]

sorry man, it'll be a while before I release another 86 episode :(

[@MultiColiflower]

i actually like the a60 wheels, they look good on it.

[@Garrisonh415]

Dude I have a 77 gt coupe non-liftback😁 working on fixing/restoring it right now!! We have the stock rims but missing two of the T caps, if you find any spare time caps on your search let me know 😅, and awesome video!!

[@raulgutierrez506]

I have the 4 steelies with the T caps if you need them, Im working in a Celica coupe 77 as well! beautiful car!

[@jeremyjudejimenez948]

that clip from thatdudeinblue! :-D

[@fahhad17]

dream come true !!!, i found exact same for $4000 yupiiii

[@VWGTHK]

"Celica", "Silica", tom-ato, toma-to haha. I call it either way. On another note, that's a lot of Drive Town Hachi Rokus/Mangos, I've only just gotten the bug to collect more of them.

[@n0eLoL]

I went to a bunch of ToysRus and just bought them all out. If I can find the rare "classic" ones that would be nice.

[@VWGTHK]

Only place I've found them is either at a small store in my homecity (Hong Kong) or on eBay. eBay ones unfortunately already cost $15-20 USD plus another $10 for shipping. Did also grab a few from the Toyota museum when I went to Nagoya for my grad trip.

[@n0eLoL]

yeah ebay ones are going for 15-20 PLUS shipping which is another 12.. crazy crazy.. I noticed the Trueno from the Toyota museum has Watanabes versus the Drive town version has some generic ugly looking mesh wheels.

[@dfitch811]

Sweet car, man.

[@radon7186]

Your video is great!!! It looks almost like petrolicious videous, just bit more home-made (sorry). But it is great!!! I love your channel!!!

[@n0eLoL]

Radon ghettolicious lol

[@OffRoadGarage503]

I have the stock wheels off my 1980 RA24 coupe. Steel wheels with the caps. Just like you wanted.

[@benkevin]

Old is cool tol.

[@keithmeasures5421]

I have heard a couple people say the usdm liftbacks only come in GT trim. Which is strange as i saw an ST liftback at the big All japanese classic in Vancouver... I guess they are a real rarity?

[@n0eLoL]

KEEEIIIITTTHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Gonna go out on a limb and say.... Yes all USDM liftbacks are GT spec. Except this black one in Hawaii. Its GT-R spec. R meaning retarded. lol

[@keithmeasures5421]

Ima just go right ahead and argue with that statement... with proof of course i.imgur.com/FzRsP8k.jpg i.imgur.com/bAwOqBv.jpg What doth thou thinketh of that?

[@n0eLoL]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I say.... it's a Canadian USDM enthusiast that loves dem big ole bumppas... wait did Canada have them big bumpers too? if not than photoshop.. yeah.. photoshop

[@keithmeasures5421]

yaaa sadly your silly safety laws effected us as well.

[@n0eLoL]

Keith Measures so no smiley for the flat noses for you guys too?

[@anthonywendt5834]

Finally someone pronounces it correctly. "Celica"

[@essuede]

i think you mean, "Celica"

[@dged492]

Any idea where I can find the rear hatchback louver?

[@shobud7561]

Great ride , plus the 20R makes it even better . Question , does the oil pan have the sump / lower part of the pan up front like the 4AC engine ?

[@kougerat5388]

Fun fact for ya, in the UK we pronounce Silica and Celica the other way around to you :-)

[@anyway_anyway]

I luv your mustang also....lol

[@jetcity7156]

Sharp!

[@lurker86]

beautiful car, even though I like the Mk.II more

[@n0eLoL]

the 2nd gen celicas? 78-81?

[@1970ronin]

did you ever find your wheels?

[@226sickology]

What super charger did u use for that black Toyota

[@n0eLoL]

Eaton M112

[@Misaeldeleon213]

Where do you buy your parts from for your celica

[@n0eLoL]

Rock auto for most parts.. mechanical parts that is

[@snape1464]

Wait, that car is already lowered...? lol

[@n0eLoL]

yup, not significantly, just a smidge

[@zone47]

They pretty much killed the Celica with the lame 78-81 styling even though it was a good running car. The 82 GT model with the flairs (later to be called the GTS) was a nice upgrade and then of course the 82-86.5 Supra was the best of the series. Even the mid to late 90s Celicas were awesome cars if you could get past the front end funky styling. Something happened in the 2000s and Toyota forgot how to style a good looking car. Too bad. I love the 71 - 77s and wish I could find a good example.

[@roytrudgian4786]

Fact this model in Australia is the L.T. with a single down draft sole daul throat. The S.T which this maybe with the grill shape, had twin sole carberators. Both had wood grain dash faces. S.T had full integration dash. G.T, Had a twin cam engine, some had the Yamaha head. Bigger valves and cams. Other was twin cam, which came as was. Both dual side draft twin bore solex carberators. In Australia we didn't have the bumpers and the intercators as America which are extremely ugly. But that's governments.

[@tjsaxon6530]

where did you find Toyota silica packs hahahaah

[@n0eLoL]

Terry Saxon in a Pokemon cookie box tin. Who knew Toyota made silica packets?

[@tjsaxon6530]

n0eLoL I really didn't see that response coming haha

[@johnr.9556]

Very nice! Who would like to put a v8 supercharged you lol

[@bobmacrae8395]

Maybe it's a Canadian thing to pronounce it Celica (like the packet at the end). Anyhow...always wanted one as my older brother had one just like urs crept he painted it with marine enamel using a roller...not good...rusted from the inside out...dang salty Canadian winters

[@n0eLoL]

its tough, them old Japanese cars were made with some piss poor metals. The ones here on Hawaii rust out due to the salt in the air from the ocean.

[@dudethatsaguy]

stock jdm is best jdm

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

They always said that mimicry was the greatest form of flattery, and to be fair. Toyota copying the Ford Mustang is definitely this as although it looks like a direct copy it was itself its own car, with its own performance and had a good number of followers and to this day the car is beloved. Its ironic then that in a strange way, Toyota accidently created the actual Ford Pinto. Fords Pinto was a disaster of a economic car when it came out. Concept designs showed it to be pretty much a more economical mustang. Yet they screwed up the design and cut cost essentially making it a Gremlin and poorer performing than the gremlin. Yet here is a Toyota that pretty much embraces the muscle car legacy of the Ford Mustang.

[@shobud7561]

I have a set of 4 steel wheels and 4 new tires with trim rings and center caps ... Wanna trade ?

[@n0eLoL]

Thank you but I already got me a set!

[@BudowaDomuGrzegorz]

[@pguth98]

Something tells me a relatively large percentage of your subscribers have the notifications on. I know I do.

[@n0eLoL]

maybe? I still find it stupid that subscribing doesn't automatically notify channel uploads annnnnd notifications have different levels of alerts... so dumb youtube!

[@fahhad17]

damnnn i buy tht celika in a blink of a eyee... if you sale let me know, ill keep that im my living room

[@angushume2054]

Nice car. But honestly only America would mispronounce something and call the rest of the world wrong. Go to the source if in doubt. Check the pronunciation in Japan from the original ads. Plus while you are at it coupe is French it’s not a chicken coup. Of course say it however you like but those are variations there is a correct version.

[@siamiam]
