Looking good!!! glad to see u got all ur lil problems sorted NICE CAR! ooo waterspray huh GETTING SERIOUS NOW

all fixed now it was indeed just no circlip and boot the cv itself was in great nick was such a cheap repair deicded to tell my machanic to also give the trans a flush and new powersteering fluid. all for $150nz GOOD TO BE BACK AND NOT CATCHING THOSE SMELLY BUSES TO WORK HAHA

dam that sucks, having to baby the throttle... guess it can all be soved with deeper pockets, but dam 98 octane that **** is expensive, what 95 octane did u use becasue that vpower stuff is **** i reckon mobils 95 turns my car into a lil rocket. ID LOVE TO COME FOR A BOOST never been in a turbo 4wd car before

they did a real good job with it. i dont think the steering feels any lighter but its so easy to keep her in a straight line now I got the print out on what the changed etc. dont really have the time to watch them do it all lol. hey hows ur car going? sorted out ur overboost problems?

maybe the workers were on strike when they made my car lol never ending problems with it. had to get the brakes overhauled last wof, rebuild cailpers,new rotors and pads, and of course the bitch of a proportioning valve! now this mmm an TVR is more relible than this celica!!!

Thanks delusionz i got a good mechanic he does cashies for me, my family and i know him well ill let u guys know what part failed on me when we pull it apart.

Oh btw i had a full wheel aligment yesterday at this tyre place and when i was driving home i noticed a slight vibration coming from the front wheels, like as if both front tyres were low on pressure, surely these guys didnt cause this?

VERY NICE! everything in your engine bay just flows nicely =D

My cv joint on my drivers side popped out today when i was reversing out of work, steering was on full lock and then the cv pulled out of the Hub and tore open the boot. i jacked up the car and managed to pushed the cv back in BY HAND!!! so i drove it home (SCARYIST THING EVER I MUST SAY) drove fine but pulling into my driveway it popped out again. Can anyone help me? what needs replacing, im guessing the circlip has shat itslef or do i need to replace the whole cv assembly

I still want superstrut.... these guys that complain bout it must drive into potholes and fast over speedbumps thats their problem. my cars get treated with respect

haven't modded a car yet will like to start sooon! btw nice clean build u got there must of cost thousands!

Wow thats so cheap! Your lucky.. i been looking at the 98-99 ss3 celicas they look preet nice! (MUST BE MANUAL OMG HATE AUTO!!) while on the search cant help looking at the GT4 hahaha LOOK AT THIS ONE! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-374943383.htm

wow didnt know so many models had the lsd gearbox! thanks for the offer for choosing my next celica Rusty ill let u know when i get to it.
A GT4 would be great but i cant get insurance for it because of my age and my history so ss3 it is my old car was a 92gt corolla it was a machine! gotta love those blacktop 4age 20v motors, revs up to 8500rpm with ease... now i have to put up max of like 5000
Ya delusionz sorry to hear about your problems with ur car hopfully the change of turbo will make ur gt4 a beast yet again! looking pretty good so far

Thanks for all the welcomes! Um im on the north shore, Browns bay...what did you think of the ss3? whats the main reason u moved onto the GT4? got some white GT4 driving around where i live not u is it? DRIVES LIKE MY NANA HAHAHAHA

thought that might be the case, engine swap would cost to much for the value of the car. maybe stick with this one till i got 6k for an ss3 off trademe most are auto or with stupid mods but ill keep an eye out. all ss3 beams celicas LSD? CELICAS ARE GREAT FUN! thanks for your help Rusty

great lil runner anything else i can do to make her faster?

haha thanks! they Volk Racing mags in BLUE came like that from japan 16" rims would u belive they look tiny in the pics

PICS!




This was the day i bought her had to try out some open road driving with my mate on his bike, smiling because of the handling and been able to keep up with my mates 250cc sport bike will have more pics up tommorrow

HAHA yea good point, celica with a 1.8L engine, forgot bout that one... all we got here in nz is the 3sfe-3sge and of course the 3sgte (HONDA KILLER!) =D
Oh whats a good image hosting site? i notice on some post's that pictures are full size and some you need to click on the pic link, whats with that?

Hey Rusty i know you well already, seen your build thread all the way through since day 1 NICE CAR BRO! also same with delusionz build (LOVE THAT GT4!)
but i must admit i spend most of my time on here looking at mannys builds those projets are CRAZY! makes it look so easy hahaha

Ive been thinking of getting more power out of my engine and i know there is like no info on my 3sfe on this site, but can someone tell me if its possible to bolt a early model 3sge head on my 3sfe block? do the have the same block, they got the same bore\stroke and pistions dont they? sorry if this is a nooob question

Hi all my name is Simon and im a proud new owner of my ss1 celica manual done 170,000kms, well kinda ive had this car for nearly a year now and also very familier about this great site, proved very helpful already!
When i bought my car i thought all celica's were the same but soon found out how wrong i was! bad luck was i got a ss1 celica the slowest of them all, oh well i love this car and it drives like a dream, got pics of her in my profile =D

only mods i have done since i bought it is pod filter and new free flow exhaust just to give that poor 3sfe engine a bit more power, still see a engine swap in the future mmmmm ss3 beams SO TASTY!

All i like to say this is a great site and im glad to finally been a member. Any other Celica owners in New Zealand? will be great to hear from ya.

cheers!
