6G Celicas Forums

Hey all,
I used to own an ST and loved it to death. I had saved my pennies every day until I was ready for the st205 3sgte swap and then bam, rear ended and totalled.

Just stopped by to check out the forums and I must say its grown tremendously...it's nice to see such modification and appreciation for the rare 6th generation celicas.

Thought i'd share a pic of my new car (sure makes me miss the easy maintenance of the celica)

suggestions please!

well what should i do...get a car without such big turbo and injectors or buy the car and then tune it with a standalone or emanage?

figure out the rims size and the hub size buy them off ebay thats what i did worked perfect...i didnt get the normal plastic or metal i got some kind of strong plastic

I am buying a 2nd 3sgte that has 550cc injectors, can these injectors be properly tuned with the stock ecu using an APEXi SAFC or would a standalone or rom tune be required?

ok guys im looking at an mr2 the engine is fulyl rebuilt by the famous chris k...has 150miles on the engine...new head valves gasket everything... .4 mm overbore with wiseco pistons...now the turbo on this car is a greddy td06 57trim how big is that in comparison to say ct27 by ats or the gt250r?? he says it spools at 4400rpm but kicks the **** out of u...the car has supra 550cc injectors and twin turbo fuel pump along with dual feed ats customized rail...it is not tuned and he has an safc...he claims it will tune it good enough..is a standalone required for this size setup?? by the way hks sidemount intercooler arp headstuds, its a nice build i just dont trust the electronics being run by safc

i have found and mr2 for a good deal but the steering wheel on the car is a jdm spec 3 spoke without an airbag...how much would it cost and where would I find replacement oem steering wheel with airbag...how is this done..he said all it needs is to be wired up and the sensors are fine

lots of people are saying not to buy the car becuz it is not a reliable daily driver...its a fully rebuilt 3sgte...nothing to big time and ct27 turbo running normal boost...

talked them into $7700 and allowing me take back my 17 inch rims and stereo...so this is what im looking at guys

6800 dollars damage estimate at local body shop........they will prob offer me 6500 to total it..i paid 5200...

ok im leaving shool parking lot going up a street suv in front stops short....i stop 3 or 4 feet bhind them ....look in rear view and heere comes a mustang gt goin bout 30 look the other way so i braced myself and bam!....knocked me back into the seat and threew my car into the suv in front....airbags go off but dont hit my face...knocks the glass out of the windshield into the sun roof of the suv...the airbags burned the hell out of my left arm and twisted my wrist...the airbag exhaust burned the skin on my kneck..so i jumped out of the car front bumper completely intact little bit of crush??? oddd....??? no hood damage but all headlights gone and rear bumper and hatch completely crushed in...why did the bags go off if front bumper wasnt hardly crushed?? is it worth reparing the car or total it buy another or mr2?? i paid 5200 for it 100k miles

ill post pics soon

dude cmon how much did that cost

i know this sounds stupid but its there anyway to rig it up so u can have both fmic and wta and switch between them when one becomes heatsoaked?

[/quote]

93 for the alltrac, 95 for the mr2
[/quote]

i thought 95 was only n/a

dont hold me to this but the 4th gen has direct fire / no distrutor right?>

r u 100% sure becuz the only size i see thats close is 54.06

i dont know how to move posts...and the problem was i posted but it didnt show up becuz my history was screwed up on the pc so i just posted again figuring it didnt actually work so then i had 2 accidentally sorry

does that include enough stuff to do a full awd conversion....it has rear drive and front drive differentials gear box and rear crossmembers

how much of a factor does boost play?

yea they r 40 from that site but there are some other sites selling them for way less 15-20 dollars but u have to specify exact measurement

i have enkei rs5 rims that have been bolted to my car without hubcentric rings...whenever i reach high speeds i notice a great deal of vibration in the steering...i need to order hubcentric rings but i do not know the innner diameter size to buy....i know the that centricbore size of all enkei wheels are 72.63 which would be the outer diamter size but what inner diamter size do i need to fit the hub on celicas?

i have enkei rs5's on my car and they vibrate like hell at high speeds, why? not becuz of alignment or tires but becuz i do not have hubcentric inserts...does anyone know the id/od size for enkei rs5 17inch wheels inserts?? i know am pretty sure the o/d is 72.62mm but i do not know the inside diameter to use to fit my car?? please help!
