6G Celicas Forums

Hi Wadgti,
Welcome from a fellow ST [Scottish Toyota] owner,
Idling - sounds normal / Ticking - don't know / resetting the fuel mixture ? if the plugs are the correct condition why mess with it? If you don't know the car's previous i would replace belts / filters and check boots and suspension and brake components for any issues.
Out of interest - what did you pay / what condition - please post photos. My car is stock [rare on this site!!] and costs enough to keep running sweet - Last weekend i went to Toyota dealer to view the new gt86 - he said my car was "worth hee-haw" - not to me it isn't!!!! - I certainly won't be paying £26K for a new toyota - unless i win the Lotto.

All the best and welcome!

Scottsh boys didn't even make the ramp / English lassies took off squinty and cased the landing - totally destroying a perfectly good '95 Black ST. In case you haven't seen it - The cars are rigged with cameras and driven remotely.
I couldn't believe it when I saw 2 gen6 Celicas. Oh well..... meanwhile on planet Earth............... eh......Cheers!

Previews of the "ramp Jump" - now on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! remote Control Gen 6 Celicas - 100ft gap.
dave channel - Driving Wars - Don't worry if you miss it -they usually repeat.........often.

Welcome from fellow 25th special edition owner (No. 136) in Bonnie Scotland!
Awrabest with your "new" Celi
cheers.

..........reach 520 miles (2 weeks commuting to work) from a tank of fuel before the fuel light came on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[50mpg (uk gallons). £1.20/litre £5.45/gallon. 97 1.8st - stock]

I have been looking after the tyres / engine e.t.c. and there are long road work sections (40mph speed limits) which helps the fuel economy.

I know this is not likely to set the 6gc site on fire but Is this a record??????

cheers!

A quick update...........

I went for the new tank - less hassle in the long run. I didn't need the retaining straps - they were ok...ish so the full price was £352.

I helped my brother-in-law (who is a mechanic) to remove the old one and refit sender unit, breather hose etc. to the new tank. Saved some money by welding on a new section of breather pipe next to the flange, the original was a bit knackered.
If I had put this into Toyota they would have charged a fortune. While the tank was removed I cleaned-up the underside to remove any loose rust, painted the heat shields and then undersealed the whole thing.

Anyway 8hrs graft later the underside looks like it just rolled out of the showroom!
Looks like the next job will be to replace the sump!

thanks for the advice!

cheers

Thanks Castrolman,
I was trying to avoid getting one from the scrappy's - I am hopefully hanging on to the car for a few more years (to get the use of all the replacement parts added so far). I suppose 13 years and 140K miles from the original fuel tank isn't bad in the we(s)t of Scotland.
For piece of mind I will probably go to the Toyota dealer and at least i know the tank will last.

Cheers.

Please help - Does anyone know of an alternative UK source for a fuel tank?
I will only go to Toyota as a last resort due to their prices -£400 - You would think they were flying it business class from Tokyo!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the meantime i will keep searching
cheers !

I haven't been on the site for a while and was browsing the threads.......... The UK 25th Anniversary pics (No 136) are from my car and as far as i know the run was limited to 250 in the UK. I agree that the stickers are very cheap looking considering that the car cost £20k new. I have only ever seen one other 25th ann. in Scotland (No 97) and have always wondered how many are still out there? The "CELICA" seat embroidery is really the only other distinguishing feature as i have not seen the same in any other 6G. The US emblems are much nicer incidentally, can you still buy these? I will check with my local Toyota dealer on Monday. Cheers guys!

Sorry to hear about your Stolen pride and joy. This guy must be a real Numb Nuts to have all the evidence at his home garage.
At least you have a Police Force that gives a s**t. Respect for not giving this scumbag a Kicking - he would probably have sued you!!!
Hope you get the car running again. If not your insurance should cover the write-off?
cheers,
Dave

I am an 25th Anniversary G6 owner (car registered in 1997) I have a few photos of the LTD Edition number stickers - these ones are definately stuck-on (self adhesive) labels one on the hatch and one on the front centre console:









You guys in the States must be spoiled having proper badges! I wonder if the US editions had any more extras?

Does anyone know how many of these LTD Editions there are worldwide? I think there was 250 in the UK - not sure?

I would like to find out how many are still on the road, I have seen just one other... No 97 a few years ago!

post some pics for info.

cheers!
Dave

Hi fellow G6C owners!
I found this site by accident last week while looking for some G6 Celica brake info and have been very impressed by all the pics / info i've seen. I thought i had better introduce myself / Celica.
I have had my G6 for 3.5 years (bought from my parents after they had 8 years of geriatric fun with it) and besides making her run like a new car i haven't done any performance / styling mods.
With the price of fuel / insurance over here i will need a lottery win! Anyway..... here she is:





Greetings from Bonnie Scotland to you all!
Cheers,
Dave
