6G Celicas Forums

gave up the celica to join the 350z Nissan challenge. so mainly stuck on track days at the moment. now that the GT4 celica is available for import i am in the process of getting one brought over legally to San Diego. just a long process.

was planning on driving over, don't have the celica anymore but you never forget your first love. guess ill wait till next year.

first ask yourself this main question. what will the car be used for?

if the car will be used for looking good low to the ground and 10% of the time used for Auto X or any type of racing I say go with raceland USA coilovers. cheap. economical and it will give you the look you want to be lowered. but the key word here is CHEAP. so expect a bouncy ride and lower end decent handling the same goes with Megan Racing and God Speed there stuff is worst then Raceland USA and a little more pricey.
I loved my BC coilovers but was a little to much for the car. I felt like I could never put them to there full potential. this was a driver mod upgrade needed, not a BCcoilover issue.

if your more for auto crossing and some spirited driving. you cant go wrong with the proven tech of eibach/tien/hks springs and koni adjustable shocks. best combo along with a good tire. my favorite set up. ever!

any updates on this?

having a Celica ST I can honestly say springs and shocks from a convertible with sticky tires and a 6 puck unsprung clutch was very fun in the AUTO X world.

after 13 years I think im going to buy another 6gc and do a 3SGE swap and GT4 conversion... yes... looks like today will be the start of a good day.

wow nice job so far. i remember hearing about you trying this way back in the day.

today i started looking for my new GT4 to import.... and logged into 6gc.net after a being gone for so many years.

its good to see dr. tweak and phoenix still doing the wiring for 6gc. they are good at what they do. +1 on good stuff.

functionality - its easier to slip a tow hook on that area and drag it out instead of grabbing a shovel and trying to dig a small hole to find a tow hook on the rear or front of the car.

ever been to the track or the canyons and get stuck in really really deep sand that swallows your car and wont let you move? would you rather dig and find a tow hook underneath the car or hook up to the top and drag it out and disappear before the cops show up.

is it useful sure.

is it needed not really.

would you spend 120+ on one ... i would'nt.

man its been 7 years now. time sure flys.

man thats a crazy deal. i remember when he first showed up on the site.

no lag and after a good tune itll run pretty good. plus this is mainly for the guys that want to keep everything in the "sleeper Mode"

2nd gen 3s motor with how many miles? your basically buying someone elses headache. for 450 its not a bad price but remeber that your going to be doing a lot of trouble shooting and installing. not to mention once you start to clean it up you may find more crap that the previouse owner ****ed up.

if the admins want to delete the entire post go ahead. the stuff will just go on ebay. i wanted to give 6gc first dibs on the parts.

all pmed replied too.

i do not appreciate the comments some of the members have left me via PM and AIM or the flakers. all items are now taken down and will be posted on ebay.

its been a while since i did a piece ... ill see if i can draw something up. i used to do it on walls never on paper so i hope it comes out ok.

......all these post and still no picture of the chick


we'll you can always do what a few of the marines here say .... "when in doubt .. whip it out"

i dont mean to sound like a dick here but take it from personal experience on SC300 with 1jz and 2jz swaps. THEY ARE A ****ING MONEY PIT!!

if your complaining about the maintance one your celica be prepared on the maintance for a SC300 with a swap. not to mention if the guy did a ****ty job at swapping the motors your looking at wiring and other electrical crap to deal with. the 5spd diffs/trannys that came with the SC300 stock are pieces of **** and break way to easy under power/abuse.

also since you live in CA be prepared for smog. these cars will not pass smog unless its been thru the carb system which i highly doubt. so i hope you have a smog hookup that will look the other way.

2500-4000

used car with 178K miles wont sell for much. hate to break it to you. according to KBB.com the car will sell for a fair price of 3500. plus since its a used car the people buying it will fight to lower the price.

look on ebay there all over the place.

check your local newspaper under the classifieds. most repo/auctions are listed there.

very nice swap you got going on there. let us know what it runs in the 1/4 mile when its done. are you fabricating your own drive train?

easy test ... sit down study and youll be ok. i have the pdf for the books and a few test exams for you to study if youd like. just send me a PM

intake header exhaust safc 2 tuned with a gutted car . the best i ever ran on a 1/8 th mile was 11.2
