6G Celicas Forums

Nice car! I Live in the high desert and work in the IE. I would be down to meet up. Never seen or heard of a celi meet around here

Pm'd

I'm driving from the IE in my 6gc.

There's the 98 in riverside driver fender was in good shape just needs paint

Red its at the Riverside pick a part on pyrite.

Just picked up 98 foglights, bumper and side skirts at a local pick a part. Sad to say I think the car belonged to a member who was recently rear-ended out here in so-cal.

20th anniversary Toyotafest?? I know the mr2 guys are forming a caravan. Would be sweet to have our own or meet with them.. I'm taking my 4th gen swapped coupe.

Maybe someone can create FB page? I know the SoCal MR2 guys have one.

A lil over due for an update.. Work has been killer and I finally had time to do the steering wheel swap.



7th gen clock spring harness spliced/soldered in. Airbag did not deploy on start up whoooo lol




All in all not to bad of a swap. Wiring was the most nail biting part but glad it worked out ok
Still waiting to do the single gauge pod.. Debating which boost gauge to buy

Exactly what Rochee said.. Glad I went 4th gen insanely fun and fairly priced on eBay
Mr220v did my harness and came out amazing. When people see my swap they think it came factory

Find a GT at the junk yard and take the PS reservoir and hard lines. I paid like $20 for all.. I used the ST215 pump and ST lines coming from the steering rack

Thanks for the words of encouragement! The 4th gen is amazing. Great acceleration insane power.. Glad I chose this Gen.. Thx for the great deal on the gauge pod Silly97. Your car is the reason why I want the Toms lip!

Forgot to add some future goals and mods.
Paint car most likely keeping it white
Add some coilovers..leaning towards BC Racing
Purchase foglights
Thinking of a Toms lip with rear curren splitters.
What I'm currently working on

Picked this up over the weekend.. Junk yard find


My brother had a left over steering wheel from his st215 MR2

Also picked up. A DCW Single gauge pod from a member here.

And finally a couple pictures I promised

I tried smogging before the swap but it failed. I happen to know a guy lol..

First I wanted to say thank you to all the people on this board for sharing their knowledge. All the mods I have done to my car I have searched and found on this site. I want to thank all the contributors sharing the experiences good and bad.. Ok now on to the car. I bought my 95 ST Coupe Auto about 2 years ago from a coworker at a great price.. Motor was knocking but driveable. My initial plan was to rebuild the worn out 7A But then decided I might as well do a swap as rebuilding a motor was not my forte. I have done N/A to Turbo Mr2 swaps so I chose the 4th gen 3SGTE for its newer design. Don't really have any pictures after I completed the swap, I'll try and find some and post later. The power on the 4th gen is amazing, unbelievable the how powerful it is in stock form. Here are some crappy iphone pics of my progress..
First day I bought her


And a couple before pictures






As she sits now face lift bumper TC Wheels

The Caldina did come with a LSD FWD 5spd.. My brother converted it to fit his 4th gen 3sgte MR2.Im assuming it should fit the Celica

Haha I see you drive you one. I was thinking of going v6 on the celica but was persuaded to going 4th gen haha.

No I sold it in 09 my brother and I went for the V6 swap back in 07 and couldn't figure out the wiring as no info was readily available back then.. Ill post pics later of the old cars and the current one

Hey everyone, I'm finally introducing myself. I've been a member for a couple of months and I've finally decided it was time to post. I live in Southern California by the CAlifornia Speedway. i have always had a spot in my heart for Toyotas.Im 26 married and just bought a new home so ill be slowly buying things for the Celi. I bought a 95 celica ST coupe from a coworker with 315K miles on the original motor about 3 months ago. The 7afe finally devoloped rod knock so I took it off his hands for $600! I've been mainly searching and reading a ton of info you guys have provided.I'm currently in the middle of a 4th gen 3SGTE swap, have all the old stuff out just waiting on the motor.
I'm quite familiar with the 3S and read up on what I need to do as far as mounts,axles and wiring..my brother has a fourth gen swapped MR2 that he wired himself so I might try and tackle the wiring myself(with his help), but I know all about Dr tweak.I'm also an active member on mr2oc for about 6 years now.. I've owned a lot of Toyotas over the years. I've had a...

87 Celica ST in High school
86 mr2 N/A right after.
91 mr2 Turbo 2nd gen 3S pushing over 300hp
89 supra turbo that I sold to get married
87 mr2 with the high comp "Red top" 4age
I know starting with an ST is harder but I'm excited for the end result. Hope I didn't ramble too much and hopefully I can meet a lot of great people and help with whatever knowledge I may have lurking around.
