Dang I miss this car. Probably the most out of every car I have owned(and there have been a lot!)

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. It really depends on the area and how much they are going for in that area. Here in the Denver area, I rarely see 99's going for less than 9k

My info came straight from wikipedia. It may be wrong.

EDIT: And aparently I looked at the wrong thing on the wiki page. My bad

The 3vz-fe motor came in 88-95 4-runners, 88-95 toyota Pickups, and 93-95 T100's.

The 2vz-fe came in 88-91 Camry's and 88-91 es250's

The v6 motor that came in the newer camry's and es's was the 1mz-fe

Yep. All GT's have 4 wheel disc brakes.


Looks like you got a great car at a steal of a price. Congrats

OR you can replace the valve seals in the head

Smoke on startup usually indicates valve seals. I believe that they can be replaced without removing the head

SOLD

If you don't see any spots where you've been parked, then it is probably burning off. Do you see any smoke when you start the car or while driving?

I was the one that originally got Lotek to make the pillars for our cars. So I have the first one. My celica was taken from me before I ever got to use it so it's been sitting in a box for like 2 or 3 years now. I don't see myself getting a Celica anytime soon so I'm going to sell it.

I'd like to get $40+shipping.

let me know

One of these days, I will get a Celi again. Everyones cars are looking great.

here is mine from 4 years ago.

Agreed. I bought my JL 12w6v2 used about 2 years ago and it still works great. Dual is a cheap brand thats why you can get them cheap.

Koni makes a great strut. For the Celica though, all four are inserts. On the fronts, there is a nut you remove from the stock strut housing and pull the old insert out, put the new one in. The rears are a little more difficult though. You have to cut the top of the strut housing, pull the old insert and dump the oil out, then put the new insert in. It has a bolt on the bottom that you drill through the housing and bolt it to it, and you probably need to weld the top part of the strut housing back on. With the options available for the Celica, I'd say Koni is probably the best, just takes the most work to install

Another tranny option could possibly be the 6-speed that is used in the JDM Altezza. It is RWD with a 3sge motor. Not sure if the bellhousing would be the same on the RWD motor and a FWD motor though.

The top one is a Toyota Chaser. not sure on the bottom one though

its an R34 GT-R and by the looks of it, they probably don't race it much anyways. Plus, those rims look smaller than the stock rims would have been

is it just me, or do the wheels on this GT-R look kinda small?

Bridgestone Fuzion ZRI's 225/45 17 front 245/45 17 rear(on my 240sx)

darned imagestation....try right clicking on the pic and then show pic.

actually, i'll go upload it to photobucket and then link it from there.

heres a far away pic on my old celi from about 2 years ago



edited pic--hopefully it works now

The automatic cars came equipped with a transmission oil cooler stock. This tranny cooler is built into the stock radiator. If you look at the bottom of your stock radiator, you will see two smaller lines coming off and heading towards the transmission. Those are the cooler lines.

The only way to use the Koyo on an auto would be to get an aftermarket tranny cooler also.

I'd suggest you take it to a Toyota dealer. Preferably the one that did the rebuild. A 4200 rpm rev limiter is not normal.

"Also, there is a loud whineing noise when goin down tha road. Almost like I have huge nobby tires"

Is it a whining noise or more of a rolling thud? Nobby tires wouldn't make a whining noise.

If the axle pops when you turn, you more than likely have a bad cv joint. Check the boots around the cv's to see if they are torn. That would probably be where the axle grease is coming from. If it's torn, you need to replace it.


hope that helps

These stock parts are going in the trash if no one wants them.
