My handle is OldRebel because I'm kind of old (63) and I've always been a rebel. I remember the first generation Celica very well. It was Toyota's idea of a Japanese car with a Mustang theme. It made a big splash in the marketplace at the time. So when I discovered a download on A******land for two versions of the '73 Celica I had to give it a go. The original model was apparently made as a drift car and is credited to an author named 'Tovey'. A secondary modder by the handle of 'de carrera' modded the original drift cars to be normal track machines. Thank you to both for such a great car to work with. Although I could tell the 'bones' of these two cars were really quite good I was not happy with how they drove. This data replacement mainly addresses the steering but also involves minor changes to the brakes, the final drive ratio selection, and an additional tire selection for the RS version. The CS named version is stated as 137bhp and the RS is 235bhp. The real star here is actually the lower hp CS version. It is absolute magic. If you really want to spend a whole day driving one car out of your stable select the CS car and pick your favorite road course.
Installation---Go to A******land and into the Toyota section. Download 'Toyota Celica Club Sport 1973 (2in 1). Install these cars as you would normally. Open the download folder I am providing here and paste the two car folders you find over top of the ones you just installed. Click 'yes' to overwrite when asked. That's it. If you would like to try different sound packs for these cars I am using the sound from the 'Toyota MR2 Tom's' car for the CS and the S1 sound pack from the Alfa Romeo Spider 86 Quadrifoglio for the RS car. Both cars are on A******land.
Like many of us I have hundreds of cars. That little CS Celica just rocketed right up into my top three favorite cars. Enjoy!
**UPDATE****IMPORTANT**** Please see the instructions in the 1.0 update for proper installation of the GT model.
