sorry
but weight reduction doesn't really make a race car
lol!

didn't mean to offend you, man
it was just worded funny
i laugh at the imports that i see driving around thinking that they have race cars because they have carbon fiber all over the place

does anybody know what happened to the guy that was doing it?
i haven't been here fore a while so i've kinda been out of the loop
but he was the guy with the orange celi with the lambo doors, erebuni kit...

last i heard, he was in the process of doing something "different" with his car
and he show a little preview of the headlights and the cuts that have been made to fit them

dang playr! it looks like it'll be a while 'till your celi makes it back on the road...lot's of work. good luck!

yeah, i finally got mine in...thanks to these guys (fellow 6gc-ers). i bought my adapters at best buy for $13. they needed to be modified a little for them to work...but i got em in.

in the picture you can see the speaker mount, the new speaker, and the adapter.

well, what happens is that when i try to turn on the car with my remote starter, the car will turn over and then bog all the way down. then it is not running any more, just the battery is on (radio, lights, etc.). when the intake is properly sucking air it idles at about 1,200. when i first start the car in the morning (and i have it actually running) without sucking air properly, it idles at about 400-500. i still need to clean the filter...maybe that's what is doing it.

but that's a pretty weird problem huh? do a lot of people have this problem?

wow, thanks for the quick response guys! i'm gonna try going to home depot this afternoon to find some plastic that i can cut. and hopfully i don't screw things up, lol.

the speakers in the doors are 6.5" circular speakers, right? so if you you buy 6.5" aftermarket speakers, they should fit right? well, mine don't! toyota made their 6.5" speakers extended on the sides so that they could bolt onto the support thing that holds the speaker in place. this is a real pain in the @$$ for me because i took my whole door panel off to find out that i was not going to be able to put in my new speakers.

knowing that all our cars are pretty much the same, and that many of you have after market speakers in your doors...how did you get yours to fit? i'm desperate!

i just replaced the fuel filter about 5 or 6 months ago (about 10,000-12,000 miles maybe).

what is seafoam? is it some type of cleaner?
~blaque

ps. thanks for clarifying the whole O2 sensor vs. IAT/IAS thing...

hmm...it looks red to me (especially on my mom's suzuki). but you may have a point.

well yeah, i need to clean the filter, but it's been doing that for a while, even when the filter was clean. and whats the IAS? (sorry...newbie) if that's the oxygen sensor...yeah, it's in the piping. would an old sensor cause these kinds of problems?

dude, red will be fine! there are so many cars that have red guages/radio/climate control lights in them stock. my mom's suzuki and my ex's grand-am both have red lighting...they won't bother your eyes. in fact it looks pretty slick. coomer used to have his guages red, but i guess he changed them back because he took that pic off.

i know that the guy who was going to paint my dash was just going to leave it in and tape everything off because he didn't want the installation to screw up the paint job (it's pretty complicated to take to dash out and put it back in). i would just be careful if i were you because the material that the dashboard is made of is fairly soft, so one little push will cause cracks in the paint. my body guy was going to pack on the primer to give it a slightly harder surface.

dude, that would be frikin' awesome if you guys showed up to SPI! i live about 30 mins away from there. so i am definitely planning on being there this spring break!


but i understand this point of view too. what are we considering central? san antonio? that's a fair drive too. just keep it posted!

I got a custom short-ram intake put into my celi (SE) about three months ago. ever since then, it has been like the car has a hard time taking air in when i turn the car on. it will start but the intake will not start sucking air in right away therefore the rpm's start out very low (about 200) untill i rev it up a little. sometimes revving up the engine will get the intake to breathe, but lately not even that is helping.

I'm thinking that it is an oxygen sensor issue, or maybe a computer issue. but the weird thing is that it didn't start messing up untill after i got the intake (i'm using the original sesnsor and the the original comp settings).

does anybody have any ideas as to what might be the problem? and maybe some troubleshooting ideas?

hmm...and we're talking about putting this on the 7afe right? i just figured since you have an SE...

nice...thanks lew. do you think that best buy will use the one (wire harness) that i have if i bring them one that i bought from autozone? and what plastic housing are you talking about?...the compartment underneath the stereo?

OK, so i got this new aftermarket stereo. it's only a 1" din. i was wondering what other expenses there may be in getting this installed (wiring harness, thingy to fill in the extras space blow the raido??) Just wondering how much money i should bring when i bring it to best buy (free installation not including materials) to get it installed. I've never done the aftermarket stereo thing before....

yeah, i wish i could help. i have an auto and i also have the remote start. but i have afreind with a manual del sol and he has the push button start and the remote start...so i know you can do it. it's just that these prof places don't want to get in trouble if you mess up starting it in gear. good luck tho

yeah, i agree with most everyone else. i think that you should keep the black rims with the polished lip. if you had a little more bronze on your car (as if decals were an option...but i wouldn't) the bronze ones might be feasible. but i still like your car as is...

ah sarcasm...7afe is pretty sad. but i still love my celi because of the curves (like everybody else), it's rarity, and the fact that people think that it's faster than it really is. lol

Hey fellow 6gc-ers! I just wanted to wish all of you a happy holiday. God bless!

i understand celicaGT96, i'm in th rio grande valley (south) and i only know of one other 6g that's somewhat paid due attention to.

but if the texas folks want to gather sometime that i'm not in school, i would definitely be up to making the drive up north! it would be nice to get to meet some of my fellow 6gc-ers.

dude, you wouldn't get like totally offended or anything if i did the same thing would you? 'cause that's frikin' sexy! good job...


...and, doggy, is that EPOXYD resin flixble or something? so that it can have some give with the plastic when you are taking it out?

check the sticky...they are pretty helpful.

yeah, i knew what you were saying snap...i was just wondering about jfrost's turns. no biggie tho
