WACOAL...something about womens underwear if I recall correctly. I'll show my age in regards to Mike's picture of the Celica Liftback. I actually owned one, it had staggered wheels, TRD fender flares front and rear, Kamei front air dam, dual Mikuni 44 side-drafts, engle cam, Doug Thorley headers, Centerforce clutch and an MSD ignition. I do miss it, I sold it to get a '72 Celica coupe with a 2TG transplant.

Damn, those Celica's must've been pretty damn sweet. My old man's was a '76 GT, all stock though.

I know, unfortunately the '72 was stolen and stripped of it's parts. The car was built by a local speed shop called TRE. It had a 2TG twin cam engine (JDM), Solex 40 dual sidedrafts, TRD headers, suspension, 13 x 7 widened SR5 steelies tucking under TRD fender flares, 8.8lb HKS flywheel and clutch with 4.11 gears. The car was a beast to drive (no ventilation system) very firm ride (then girlfriend, now wife hated it) but it was such a blast to drive. Engine response was fantastic and the handling was razor sharp.
