F20C TA22

As far as cross breeding goes, I’d say this is pretty subtle. An F20C 2.0L from a Honda S2000 gets transplanted into a 1973 TA22 Toyota Celica. That classic Japanese shape reflects the golden years of JDM styling, while the contemporary heart hailing from a different manufacturer – yet the same country of origin – showcases just how far 4cylinder technology has developed. The owner has managed to capture the best of both worlds, old and new, without going so far as to make a Frankenstein out of the car.

Over on the Auszoku forums, a tasty little TA22 Celica has quietly been built up by its owner in Bosozoku style. What makes this car so impressive is that it resides in Sydney, Australia. I would love to see this thing rolling down the street pushing its way through a sea of rep-mobiles and bland SUV’s, what a site that would be.
