6G Celicas Forums

so i picked up sum free rims and tires today, theyre 215/35/r18s.... will these fit my celi? thats really all i wanted to know... idk how these tire shanangans work

Putting in my new ebrake cable I managed to snap every bolt on the heat shield and another on part the holds the cable in place, and I have no room or toools to fix it... anyone local got a lift/ tap and di set or the know how and wanna help haha

man i did not realize how much work you'd put into that car already. well done dude.... haha hopefully i can follow your work ethic and not get lazy on my car.

i was wondering what people used for gas in their cars octane wise for a 5sfe, ive heard that it really doesnt matter especially with a stock 5s and i noticed a few posts of people saying they use 91 but i assume those were on swaps and cant seem to get to the bottom of this..

what the hell does it matter? lol and what SHOULD i use?

thanks for any input to put my mind to rest =D

so i was looking into getting this gauge i found on ebay,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-1999-T...=item4399dcd039

was just wondering if its a good or bad buy and if its very difficult to install?

today i bled my brakes after installing all new rotors calipers and pads in the rear and almost finished fixing my hand brake.

sooooo, i went to do my rear brakes today with incredible issues, as usual, but inevitably turned out fine EXCCEEPPTTT, i cant seem to find anywhere that has a hold down spring kit for my parking brake, and im not 100% sure that i know what im doing if i got a whole hardware kit and tried to do all the hardware... and i REALLLYY dont want to buy a whole hardware kit if im only going to use part of it... kinda broke, could use advice... help? anyone local wanna come join me? hahaha, everythngs kinda in pieces at the moment.

im just spppeeacciialll thats all haha

Haha thanks bud, ill definately take u up on tht when I do my hand brake cuz I have noidea wat I'm doing there

Thanks pressure2, ya between my car having lock nuts and no key, the local dealership being idiots, no other shops helping me out, my car dying in the middle of the road (my messed up battery) and myrotors being stuck to my rims haha it was an adventure... but I nowfeel successfull haha

Lol thanks guys, and thanks to whom ever called me, it was gting late and dark and I got work real early tomoro and its my daily driver so I started to panic haha but successfully did my front rotors and pads after a quite interesting day w/ my celi haha

trying to remove my front rotors.... wierd ass huge nut holding on rotor? help????? 1508 954 6745. if i dnt gt it off im screweeedddd

Well i have one last question and i cant seem to find any threads on it already, my rotors and pads will be here the beginning of next week, and i got a caliper I am picking up tomorrow morning to replace my frozen one.... but i still need to fix my parking brake and im wondering how to do so considering ill already have everything off and ready to be worked on...

when i pull my parking brake lever its 100% slack until it gets to the usually engaged area and then the cable is rock solid but the parking brake doesnt engage, ive tried adjusting the cable at the lever but im not sure what else to do, this will all be my first brake job, any advice or help would be amazing, thanks alot guys.

how can i tell if the rest of my calipers are fine, i got new pads and rotors but i obviously dont wanna changed them if the calipers are frozen/shot or what ever, i ASSUME, the rear passenger side is frozen because i hear some grinding ish sound when driving and theres like 10x more brake dust on that wheel/rim w/e than any of the others...

im just looking for the best way to get my brakes in 100% working order.

alright, this is a total noob question butttt, what is a caliper core? lol im pretty brake illiterate and cant seem to find anything to tell me what exactly it is haha

im like 99% sure my rear pass side is frozen and theyre all rusty and ****, thought id get some new ones and just do all the brake systems over

man i hate being poor id buy the engine a sec if i had any damn $

the amount of excited i got when i saw this thread is almost sad... i randomly have this date off for once in my life a saturday off! deffinatly count me in (cars deff not worthy, but ill be there anyways!)

well i need to replace my brakes, already ordered some pads and rotors, but i cant seem to find anywhere to buy some calipers from, either some nice gloss calipers or ones i can paint myself buy either way i cant find a thing... advice?

out of curiousity. why buy the beater and fix it... wouldnt that be money out of pocket for st205 clip?

im hoping that with a full swap and turbo i can give em some trouble... but thats looking long term

hahaha yep time to start learning!

thanks bud, ya, after all the info ive read i think i wanna do a full swap and turbo, i want power, problem is i dont have a whole lot of mechanical know how and i want to do as much as i can myself, looks like ima need to make more friends who know what theyre doing lol

thanks a ton for all the input ive been pretty much reading at least one whole section of the forums a night now a day so im trying to be less noob, i hope someday i can be as knowledgable and have a nice ride like you guys haha thanks again

Just for future reference w/ a full swap or partial w/ turbo and exhaust and intake.. uk th works... how much can I really be pushin horse?
