Today was the 3rd annual All Toyotas Of the Midwest (ATOM) car show in Dearborn, MI, at the Automotive Hall of Fame. It was a much bigger show than last year, about 140 cars total. I stayed long enough to see the winners this time. Here are some highlights of the show:
Toyota Sports 800, these have a 790cc flat-twin putting out 45ps, good for 100mph. That would be scary in this tiny car.
Stock 1st gen Celica Liftback!
KE70 Corolla
RHD AE86 Levin
1st gen Celica with a 7MGTE, he was at the show last year
1st gen Celica with a 1UZ swap!
John's 1982 Celica GT Sport, he won the People's Choice award!
5th-gen Celica AllTracs
Bosozoku Cressida, also at the show last year
Dodge Dart with a special powerplant...
Toyota Celsior, basically a RHD Lexus LS400 (but even fancier...)
1ZZ Turbo MR-S
1972 Toyota Corona, he won the Best of Show award!
1JZ Soarer with a manual swap
My personal favorite...
4AGZE RHD Starlet
Specs: AE101 4AGZE with pulleys, 15psi boost, stock ECU, 183whp on race gas
And finally, a few shots from the road:
Can't wait to bring my car to this show next year!!
