Tuning Class: Toyota RA24 Celica by Peter Vong

Reading time 2 Min.

Recently updated on August 21, 2016 at 02:15 am

today we introduce you to a tuned Toyota RA24 Celica. The car was not refined by a special tuning team but, as far as we know, was put on the wheels by a private tuning enthusiast named Peter Vong, and then published on the website of the clothing label "The Hundreds". We do not currently know whether and to what extent the label was involved in the tuning, but nothing can currently be concluded. Personally, I always like these tuning conversions best because such a car was usually refined much more individually than a car with a tuning program from only one provider. When it comes to the restoration or tuning of old vehicles, reaching into the standard tuning shelf is not or hardly possible anyway. The aim of the so-called "RESTOMOD “By the way, it's a conversion to cram an old car with new technology. This is exactly what has been achieved with the RA24 with its new F22C engine from the Honda S2000. We already know a few details about the tuning and the parts installed on the Toyota RA24 Celica. What we have learned we have listed below for you in a summary.

Ps. Even more privately tuned vehicles can be found in ours Selfmade category!
