6G Celicas Forums

I call my puppy Gertrude.

Yea E-bay is a gold mine for random pipping at a fair cost.

Thank you for not making me ask what CFM meant.

WE ALL WIN!!! Lets focus on the 1/4 mile time. Come on guys its all Love.

Just make your baby look real sexy and she will be o...k....I.E.and maybee a header will bring you 4 1/2 horsies not worth it to be honest, just be happy you have what you have.

Dont boost to 15 untill you have a tranny than take the abuse. But the swap would still be well worth considering we all spent on average what.....8500 on our cars (spending 3k more is like 12000)thats a good number for stock 14'. I can understand both sides...a swap at minimal mods runs 14's while SuperSprynt said we run 16's if that both on stock motors(close too). spending 3G's on a swap gaining 2+ seconds is what you would expect slightly from a turbo/supercharger slap on(spending about the same) but in DG's case the motor can handle it (minus the tranny). At the same time I can also sympathize with having a stock 5SFE/7AFE and having to order a clip wait and wait then spend more time getting it in and wirring the bitch then needing a new tranny(maybee new mounts) only to run in 14's. But do you guys actually know what driving in a 14second car fells like, I drove my friends SRT-4 for like an hour a week back and it had intake, and B.O.V. and she ran mid 14's and that was a very very fun ride, being able to flick off Mustang GT's on the highway. Anyway 14's is a very nice number, but i see for the trouble it may not be worht it for some people.


Remeber stock EVO's and STI's run 13.6's!!

Just recently had to fork up 550 for some tires, after talking to the guy he said your car is "V" rated and you DO NOT want to seep below that. So I got some V rated Dunlops i think FM901's. And I know my last tires were not V rated because my ass is glued to the road at all times, its pretty cool because now I can understand how our cars handle so well. My advice is do not drop below factory specifications cause it will damper your cars ride.

YEP!!! Just had mine pop on me $1200 bucks. Do not drive it unless its to a shop that will cause the damage to eat your wallet.

Im doing the Geo Metro with a Hemmi Swap How awesome would that be a car that weighs as much as your toothbrush with a huge motor(Not possible but fun to think of)

Although it is a toyota motor, putting in like a V-6 Solara engine Supercharged with like a Toyota Tacoma Tranny would be suffice

Yea I have no turbo, just liked the name.

So my cars been blowin' out THICK white smoke latley, idling very very hard stuttering like, check engine light came and went (after i flashed the ECU) and cant forget the engine temperature was spiking the "H". 1997 GT 87,000 miles
So I took it in the shop-all in all the head gakets blown out, need new studs- need work on my radiator and flush-new plugs.....$1300 dollars which I have like 300 in my account. would trade it in but I owe $5,000. God does not like me.

Similiar to the Spec-V Sentra....the header comes built to the cat. Not entirley off.

300z.. more "reliable" power potential on stock block, RWD, Targa top (crossing fingers). But the 6th gen is a nice looking car and with the swap you might expect to have some problems natrually, but end result will be unique and fun. Either way you go you win so have fun and make the right choice for you.

That would kick arss,
2ZZ-GE w/ internal 8.5.1 drop= Higher levels of boost WITH VVTl-i. that would rock!

*Response* "Blah argha maghand 3SGTE is better taetu rirhdblah blahgha"

Well, people like that should be assed rapped by baboons in heat then circumsized to a stump Do whatevers in your LEGAL power to get him. This crap pisses me off, why do people do that?

HAAA, that was heavinly bliss seeing that.

I shift when the car wants to_Auto She shifts at like 3300 daily or so and when I whomp it its like what 5100-5200 one of those.

Hey does anyones change fall out on your left side pocket down into the wedge and backseat, I found like a downpayment on a house the other day back there.

Hahaha...good I though I was alone. LOL oh thats awesome, when I found it was like YEAAAAA!! My g-friends like "you didnt know you had that" I said no Im just easily amussed

You come out with a Header and CAI, with hopefully a Dyno sheet and Im down It'll take a minute to save up the cash. But I would be very weary w/o a dyno run, just to prove some sort of gain. Not that I dont trust you its just I dumped $1100 for like lets say 5HP.....hope you understand.

No that one does not WORK. Trust me I posted like a mad man trying to figure it out. It does NOT tell you that the brown ground wire has to placed closer to the ECU than the black*hrmm* or vice versa, Also does NOT give the knock sensor pin. Just got to Apex-i.com download the japanese language pack for Adobe get both the wiring diagram and Instucions. Dont use that site as shown above download the pack, theres a 5sfe's in there (it didnt come in the manual you have) with easy to read pin-outs and instructions.....The black/brown ground is the difference between "Check Engine Light" and a properlly working SAFC

But you have Gen1 Im N/M im speaking of Gen2, hahaha. Take warning all others who do get one/

You like loud noises get Injen Intake go to Nopi.com-$200 if you want the same perormance minus the loud noise get a Toms Air Filter-$30(correct me if the names wrong)

I just got a quote on a 04" WRX ..*gulps*..check this out.....


....Directly from the letter,

Dear Daniel Snider:

Thank you for your Internet request.

Based on the information that you have provided, if you were to replace your
1997 Toyota Celica GT/LE with a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX, your new six month
premium would be approximately $2,005.60. This is a total increase of
$1,448.90. Please keep in mind that this is an estimate only, and the actual
premium may differ based on the Vehicle Identification Number. Since this
request was for a quote only, no changes have been made to your policy.

I have Geico and I pay now $94 a month for Liability only, this would be $330 a month...damn Scratch that idea.

I went shopping today for a WRX..not to bad there 2004 WRX Standard Package+Sun-roof goes for-22,000 (no way I can get the STi) with like 10,000 miles on it. Took a test drive, it was a very smooth ride and past 4K its pretty nice. Im just waiting to pay off the Celica then Im about 98% sure Im going to get one. Plus insurance likes the AWD+ 4 Door thing too.

STi will hand it to the GT-4 stock for stock, but the Celicas look much better.
