In the world of Restomod conversions There are vehicles that are much more than just technical masterpieces - they are real declarations of love for the car. One such example is Daniel Raileans tuned Second generation Toyota Celica. But it is not just a vehicle, but a piece of Raileans' life. Daniel's fascination with Celicas began when his brother owned one. The plan was for Daniel to take over the classic later, but before that happened, the Japanese gave up the ghost. Years later he discovered the Celica on eBay and invested his savings of around 750 pounds (around 860 EUR) in the purchase. But the joy was initially dampened: the car was just a rusty heap!
Restomod Toyota Celica BMW engine!
Over the years, Railean transformed the Celica into a Drift car with BMW heart. The heart of the conversion is the engine made of one E46 type 323i and the rest of the construction of the rear comes from a 3 Series from 2011. An interesting detail is that steering column, which consists of one Renault Clio comes. The exact key data are not known, but the basic version of the M52TÜ B25 six-cylinder generated 170 PS & 245 NM torque, which is a significant increase compared to Toyota's 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which only had around 100 horsepower. By the way, the engine announces itself acoustically via a Flaps Exhaust System to speak. Visually, however, according to Raileans, the conversion was quite an adventure.

Daniel had a friend paint the Celica and also installed many of them Carbon parts. Strictly speaking, some of them are made of parts Carbon Kevlarthat are installed. You can see a high one rear wing, the Raileans because of his enthusiasm for the wild Porsches Rough world term installed. The Unterbodenbeleuchtung again is a homage to the colorful design from the film “The Fast and the Furious“. By the way, Railean currently drives the classic Celica almost every day and uses it for... Drift.
