6G Celicas Forums

My red vert has black crap skirts and no spoiler. But I saw a white one around here with black crap skirts and a spoiler that must have been stock.

I have it at stock hight, never a single problem. It's low profile, so it doesn't stick out much like those horrible ricer coffee can ones, or those ones that look like pig noses, and it's got a good sound. About a month after getting it, I'd recommend scrubbing out the rust from the inside, then painting it with a very high temp paint black.

Drift, I'm looking at the same thing. Somebody blckcelica95 told me that it was about $1,000 done yourself, part sourced from a junkyard with decent mileage.

I'm sure the cop is thinking that you could have just slowed down instead of speeding up. But the way I see it, if you're goin over the speed limit then sometimes you're gonna get a ticket. Probably a few othertimes the cop decided to pull over somebody who wasn't you when you were all going fast.

I was definitly considering selling my Celica. I was going to get a Porsche 944 Turbo, or maybe a 300ZX. I decided against domestics, they are too common and not stylish enough for me. But if I were building a dragster, I'd do a domestic.

But speed isn't really everything. I'm more of a tuner. I love to work on cars just as much as I love to drive them. If I took the money I'd get from selling the Celica, and the money that I was going to throw down for parts for her, I'd be able to get a decent, really fast car. But it just wouldn't look as good, and it definitly wouldn't be a drop-top. Not only that, but it'd just be a car then. It wouldn't be a hobby.

My rims were bent, by some stupid pothole that shouldn't have been there. When I went over 30 from then I could feel the car wobble. Got mine from www.tirerack.com so I called them up, telling them what happened and suggested the rims might be faulty. They looked into it, and sympathized and gave me a large discount on new rims. Not too bad I guess.

A while back when I had only intake, exhaust, s-afc, and underdrive pulley, I raced my fair share of integras. I was able to beat them, but of course, they were stock. I'm running a GT also.

Do you happen to have Comcast high-speed cable? I've had a problem loading it, because there is a virus going around on the Comcast network that infects Linksys routers that doesn't allow you to access some webpages seemingly at random. I switched back to an old Linksys router, and now I can access this website but not other ones!

There is also something about maxium packets allowed per website that interfers with AOL if you have a linksys router.

Don't know if that helped at all, but... good luck!

I've been building up for a turbo kit, and invested in a MSD 6BTM on my 97 GT (5s-fe) and also the 8910EIS tach adapter. When the car is started, there's this ticking sound that seems to either be coming from the left speaker, or under the control panel.

I've turned off the lights, and turned on the car. There's no visible spark. Also, tomorrow I'm going to go pick up a sethoscope and more accurately pinpoint where the noise is coming from, but does anybody have any ideas?

You totaly just pulled that figure out of your @$$. After talking to several mechanics, they all say Nitrous is far safer than FI at the same level. It's because with FI the stress is there all the time on your engine, with Nitrous it is only there for a little bit.

And a nitrous kit is only what, $700, $800? A bottle isn't that much, and it gets you a lot of sprays. Do you really plan to spray from New York to L.A. or something?

I was also thinking about doing this swap, how much is this setting you back? You'd need to find a donor car for the tranny right? So...?

Yea, so I pretty much am going to have to wait until Summer to work on the car again. Illinois winters aren't exactally the warmest.

Yea, it's a noticeble loss with the AFC gone. Not that much though since I haven't had the time to tune it after adding some other modifications.

My celi was lined up to be driven from Chicago to New York to rippmods to test their Supercharger for the 5sfe. They know it works, they just needed to check hood clearance. This was all happening at the end of August, and I was planning to take a road trip to New York, infact I had all my bags already packed and I was leaving the NEXT DAY.

So I called rippmods just to confirm things. Rippmods had already put me off twice. I was suppose to go end of July, then begining of August, now end of August. Once again, he said he couldn't do it. This time it was "Oh I just got back from Cali and we're in negotations to blah blah blah, expanding shop, how is begining of September?"

Being put off three times, being rather pissed off spending my time to get my car in perfect condition for them and for the road trip out there, I told him to call me or e-mail me when he could give me a definite date. Well that day never came, even three months later. I'm now persuing other methods, considering 3SGTE, Turbo, or maybe even simplier Nitrous.

I had to leave my Celi at home while I went away to college anyway. And so I haven't had much time to talk on the forums, or think about the car. One week in october, I bought it down (to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). And some F***er slashed my convertible top, and stole my afc. I spent the night repairing the wires and fixing the top so I could drive it home. Just recently, I got it back from insurance with the top fixed. And now I'm home on Thanksgiving break.

And for some reason, I can't update my topless-racing site because the university has that port blocked.

Good luck, I always wanted to do AutoX, but then school just got in the way and everything. Where are you doing it?

Wait, isn't that a good thing?

94-99, and it shows the 7th generation Celica. It works only on 94-99 celicas, but all models? The engines share nothing in common. The seller knows nothing about cars.

Hey guys, I'm going to go test the Ripp Mods supercharger that is for the 5sfe. I'm leaving Chicago tomorrow and driving my celica all the way to NY, and there they will install, test, tune, and dyno my car before and after the supercharger. Lets hope I make it there and one peice, and that my engine doesn't blow up. I'll post when I get back!

If it's working don't change it. A new one will cost you at least $60 for a crappy universal one, or $250 for a OEM toyota one that is easier to replace. IF your o2 sensor is old and not working, all it would do is make you run rich or lean unless you have a piggyback computer in there.

Ah that was the OEM toyota one. There is a generic universal one that only costs $60, and just requires some wire cutting and splicing.

Custom Turbo baby. Or no2.

Has anyone ever gone to a junkyard and sourced an o2 sensor before? I plan on finding a celica gt, 2nd gen n/a mr2, or I4 camry, but will ANY toyota o2 sensor work?

Or does anyone know of a cheeper way to get an o2 sensor than paying $250+ for a new one?

I take you don't have a shop manual, get one asap. It'll give you instructions for most everything.

Yea, if these are close to being the first mod on your N/A don't bother.

I don't think the excuse "My dads hood is longer and it sits lower to the ground" is going to work. Although they might help you out for the spedometer thing, they will probably just yell at you more and tell you it's your own fault and you should get it fixed.

But showing up to court normally reduces things anyway, so it's worth a try.
