6G Celicas Forums

I can vouch for Julians work...he's installed two kits for me now. Previous kit was blue led/dash kit into my celica SR and then a white led kit into my celica GT.

I don't often come onto this forum but thought I'd give you all a heads up on how good the kits look

Hi guys,

Anyone know where I can buy a turbo kit built specifically for the 7a-fe? I'm based in the UK but am willing to pay for delivery if the kits proven to be decent. I'm only looking to get around 180-190bhp.

Thanks for the info, will get those bits checked out today

You'd be surprised how many times those rattles are caused by either:

a) the jack in the trunk

b) the screw thing holding in the spare wheel in the trunk

I removed both of these and now the rear is near enough completely silent!

Ok cool, thanks for that! You think the weird creaking could be down to top mounts or something then?

Alright guys...



I'm assuming this is a gen7 (seeing as the picture is stolen from 'new celica.org')

I'm wondering if these are exactly the same on the gen 6? Does it have front and rear central jacking points?

The reason I'm asking this is I'm getting a strange rubbing and creaking sound from the passenger side which is easily audible when setting off from a stand still and if changing into second at low revs, looks like the pads are actually touching the disc??

Here's a photo taken while the wheel is still on:



Circled in red...the brake disc and pad are actually touching, there's still ability to spin the wheel freely (I jacked it up real quick yesterday to see what sound came back when spinning the wheel) but it does make a rubbing sound, area circled in blue...is that scoring or just signs of a used disc?.

Still need confirmation on where I can jack/axle stand the car properly though! If anyone has any photo's I'd be dead grateful

I didn't change the suspension, I just pushed down on the front wing/fender (whatever you wanna call it!) and there was no noise apparent, it's only happening when I'm dropping the clutch out

Hi

Upon accelerating, or being at low revs in first and second; there is a creaking/groaning sound coming from the central/passenger side of the car (left hand side)

I've searched through the forums but there doesn't seem to be much that's exactly like this, I did a test by pushing down on the suspension and there was no noise, it's only when I'm releasing the clutch in first and second.

Any advice or help would be amazing

Hi!

I'm John, from London in England (originally Manchester!)

I've picked up my second gen 6 this week and I forgot just how goddam good these cars are!

Here's some pics -







Hope you like it.

It's an SR, unsure if these were ever released in the States? (I see there's a lot of American owners on here:)) It's basically an ST but with slightly lower suspension, 16" Momo alloys and a mesh front grill.

The car feels solid, approximately 80k miles on the clock, little to no squeeks in the cabin and the road noise is surprisingly low!

Future plans are to drop in a Beams red/black top, and upgrade everything else in the process (4 pots etc!)

Let me know what you think!

Also, I've posted a slight problem in the suspension section if anyone cares to have a look and help out
