TOYOTA CELICA TURBO
"The German company Schnitzer adjustment built Toyota Celica Turbo LB to compete against Porsche 935s in Group 5 of the World Championship category for manufacturers, as well as the Division 1 national championship in Germany ( known as DRM). It is based on street Celica GT Hatchback 2000 model. As with all cars of Group 5 (Group 5 is a silhouette formula), there were great modifications to the bodywork. According to regulations, only the hood, roof, doors and rail panel remains unchanged . The rest of the body was new style and constructed from lightweight GRIP (fiberglass reinforced plastic). "
" The amendments including sills generally ahead of and behind the door panel and a nose slightly tilted beyond hood, which locked in the headlights and double grid square. The LB weighed 860 kg compared with 1116 kg for street model. To the power of Group 5 racer, Schnitzer type used Toyota 18R G engine equipped with a special valve head 16-cylinder German manufacturing company. The engine was bored to 2,090 cc and a fuel injection system was installed Kugelfischer. In addition to this a KKK turbo was fitted and the combination produces a high-performance engine development of an impressive 560 hp . "
" The LB debuted in round that supported DRM German GP in Hockenheim on July 30, 1977. The effort was supported and sponsored Toyota by Germany and Rodenstock. The car was surprisingly quick in the hands of Harald Ertl but forced to retire on lap 4. Schnitzer entered the LB in two rounds in 1977 DRM Zolder in August, where he retired early again, and the Nurburgring in October to finish fourth overall behind the Gelo , Kremer and Max Moritz Porsche 935s. On 16 October , the car returned to Zolder for the non-championship ADAC Trophy and said it is only a resounding victory. "
" By 1978, the car re-sprayed in a red and white livery -. Most likely in response to increased participation of Toyota in the project The team held the patronage of Rodenstock , but brought a new driver, Rolf Stommeln had been the general DRM Champion team Gelo Porsche 935 last year. Harald Ertl kept Schnitzer , but moved to Division 2 in a BMW 320. The Porsche 935s continued to dominate Division 1, however, and after a series of retirements , the best result for LB is 8th in Mainz - Finthen on 18 June.
The car has also entered the race Nurburgring 1000 kms WCM May 28, jointly piloted by and Stommeln Ertl. After qualifying in 6th position, the car retired again after only four laps. Despite the car's speed and some promising moments, the story of Celica Turbo LB is one of the disappointing results .

Toyota Celica turbo gr 5 MRRC
This time we have in our hands another model of so-called "shape" of the gr 5 the toyota celica turbo brand MRRC
I'm having a weakness for cars in this category so particular that according lei everywhere was the most disastrous and boring season but had a real machine bestial worthy of study.
one in question the toyota well reproduced by MRRC but from now it will advance a car which we will have to work hard. What is the decoration and forms more than car tires are really good cool very similar to those of ford capri.
from within it have a playback acceptable, good, driver almost complete with seat, steering wheel, dashboard rather completito , simulation engine behind it only rare model is that had everything loose inside which we had to stick to our tests did not lead.
model weight is 83.9 grams actually much or too little and we believe well-rounded mechanical disposition thereof
48.3 grms takes the whole motor and axle chassis ...
the mechanical disposition is sidewinder relationship with the
11/36 mechanics do not have the correct engine data but they are two equal 28mil or 35mil rpm rpm lot anyway

something elevated
34.7 bodywork, auto cables are in fact correct so that leave them and go to the track to see that we
good nothing is as simple as it seems to only accelerate the car shoots forward often jumping like a kangaroo tail mordieramos like a stone with the rear tires push the engine as if a tank it were a cannon so much that sometimes takes the car horn to which we return to boxes before completing a lap.
to accelerate the car noticed empty as the rims and tires spun virtually leak, is incredible force that has this engine.
so we spent a few changes to address these issues
shoveling
Topic rubbers, because the engine spins turn to glue them against the rims with a household item that every man with a partner should have (nail Nail woman) sisi so friends as you listen, preferably transparent, paint the rims and then we put the covers allowed to dry at least 30 min
our If we let an entire day just in case, the rubber hits the nail polish with the strength to no spin and also can remove the day tomorrow if we change or ideal.
with respect to exchange it for a guide ninco spring to try to give more security to the tube.
the front no vertical game but still leave it to see how it behaves as it gave no further problems
can say that we solve the problems of the car by 90% is accelerando like lightning but now jumps are close to zero is very rare to repeat it, the guide gives a security ninco very, very good allowing very rapid turn but the engine is so powerful that it is very difficult to complete the returns.
finally advise you to enjoy the car you have to change if or when the engine, as I read somewhere this engine can not handle the deadly haha, is too strong and the tires but are stuck sometimes they blow up the car and make it very difficult to control cornering.
place an orange top slot motor and from there it becomes a very easy car to bring quick, practical problems do not exist and gives us the feeling of driving a racing capri fly, safe horn, good brakes good start, is a car now if you can enjoy various changes and after work.
good friends I hope you like a greeting note
