6G Celicas Forums

So I'm guessing you're running a perportioning valve too, right? And doesn't that combo throw off the car balance? How do it effect left foot breaking and trail-breaking?

RTC, you most have missed my post. Are you running BBK's on only the front, or back as well?

RCT, do you only have BBK's up front? And noise is determined by pad selection

Is the fuild old? I'm guessing your brake fuild has broken down and is causing some brake fade. Also, your calipers are probably lossing some of their spunk from age. When I had to change out all 4 (ouch!) on my rx-7, I noticed a big difference in brakes power....course that was with some fresh dot 4 syn fuild

What's fuild like? Ever have to replace a caliper?

Thanks Dave!

Before you go for performence, make sure all your maintance is caught up. Timing belt, water pump, ect.

Agreed. The point when I realized it when in an integra with type-r brakes (other aftmrkt braking crap) at turn 7 on putmen park when I was introduced to the worse case of brake fade I've ever seen.

My point is, you're only going to expirence brake fade on the track. Street cars with bbk's are a waste of cash

#1 confused me a bit. Am I correct in reading you think the turbo and manifold are one peice, casted to the block?

What tranny are you going to run to support the power? Is the IC kit for a mr2 or celica?

I hate to say it, but I don't think you know what you're getting into. I could be wrong tho, maybe I just didn't grasp your post too well.

Bummer! Do you know how to count the blinks on your CEL?

no, you just posted your opinions about nitrous as fact. I actually posted up factual info. There's a difference

Adding brakes to the list....

I think I will start with nitrous. I'll do it tonight when I'm off work.

Lucas oil stabilizer is like gorilla snot! Thick as all hell, but really great for the top end and proper start-up lubication.

most any parts store

w/o a celica to referrence, that wouldn't be too helpful

Anyone else?

+1 for playr

We're here to help eachother, not foil one another

I valve cover gasket should come with a lil rubber gromets they'll need installed too.

And btw, it's time for plug wires too

If it's not for you, that's fine, but just don't go telling other members it's wrong for them

I've been reading far too much misinformation on this site lately and want to do something about it. Also, this is my way of giving back to the 6gc community, that really motivated my car passion when I was 16. So, keep in mind I no longer own a 6GC so I can't provide too in depth how-to's with pics and a celica to reference. But I feel as if I can supply all the theory information and answer a bunch of questions.

So let me know what kinda how-to or FAQ you wanna see, and I'll apply that college degree of mine to aiding you guys.

Not to destory your sales, but no one one this forum actually needs a big brake kit. It's mostly a fashion statement unless you're roas coursing all the time. A lot of these guy could get by great with a SS lines, a Hawk/EBC pad, fresh rotors and some nice fuild. That would be perfect for the daily driver and weekend autocrosser.

It worked out great on my old 6gc, paired with the Eagle F1 gsd3's. For only about $300 or less, I saved my car from many a deer

I've got it down to fine art. When I feel a slight burning sensation in the shoulder, thats about 15 lbs. I'm such a nerd, I perfected it with a torque wrench.

I guess this is what tech's do on a slow day.

Do a proper tune up for starters

Agreed, carry-on

Jebus, you are so misinformed. The fuel is easy to get right. If you run a wet kit, the supplied pills that care of it. Thus, you do NOT need any dyno time or tuning or even an AFC.

And if you're smart, you can easily hide it. I've installed a bunch of kits for street racers who wanna sandbag. None of their victums ever know about the nitrous. None of my clients have had any complaints

If nitrous was so dangerous, you wouldn't see it on every f-body.

And so you know, even if tech's are checking the intake pipe, there's other places on the intake mani to put it.

You're very misinformed and I would think you'd notice.
