6G Celicas Forums

I just put mine on yesterday. For $25, who cares about the handling(it won't be worse). I took of the stock one and the mounting brackets from the new one and painted them metal flake blue to match the car. I had no problem getting both on at the same time. Looks killer by the way. I have pics, but don't know how to post them. If someone will host them, I will e-mail them.

I would say this was more than worth the $80 shipped. Can't see paying much more for an intake. E-bay has them all over for cheap. Don't go with the name brand if you don't have to.

How much for just the coil-overs? If I have to buy 1 strut, I might as well get them all. Sorry, not interested in the speaker box.
Thanks.

I just got a 6th gen celi GT for $500. Replaced timing belt, tensioner, idler, plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor, oil change, tranny flush and fill, etc. Now I am ready to PLAY!(actually $500 after all that).

I need suspension components, wheels, brakes, etc.
Please, if anyone has stuff sitting around(not stock), let me know. I am ready to buy. Thanks.

I have Bilsteins on my Expedition, but can't find the for the celi anywhere. Where did you find them?

Honestly, you could do the axles in the apartment parking lot as well. But, I digress. Get the suspension stuff anyway. While you are doing the axles, you can swap the springs and struts in no time and you will be very pleased with the result.

There is a little kit that you can get at any local auto parts store that makes bleeding the brakes fool proof. If you really have to push hard or there is a lot of travel in the pedal with no response, you might want to check: Air in the lines(bleeding), wheel cylinders (calipers) leaking, and finally the master cylinder diaphram may be leaking. If you have no experience with brakes, and if bleeding them doesn't help, DO NOT do it yourself!!!

P.S. These are not the only problem areas, but can be visually inspected. Once again though, don't do it if you don't know what you're doing.

What kind of car is it? Mine doesn't have a MAF sensor. Get an ohm meter and a manual and check the TPS. Also, do you have standard or auto tranny? If auto, could be a speed sensor/ adjustment.

Your topic reads "complete tune-up". I think you are forgetting a few things if you are going that route: timing belt, tensioner, idler, oil change, filter, tranny flush and fill w/filter, chassis lube, etc, etc.

The guys go over there every couple of months and buy pallets full of motors, parts, half cuts, etc.

By the way Droptop

That celi is tight. New rims would set it off.

I haven't seen any older celi's with the new GTS rims. I think that would look pretty good for a cheap price.

Like for brake pads, they say axle set

Yea, sorry, missed that part. If they say axle set, it should be the whole front set.

Pressing bearings in and out is not that difficult. If you have access to a press, you will save some $$ but not that much. $150 for both is not that bad. One front bearing costs almost $40, so you would only be paying $35 per side for install

If you are like me you would knock it out and put a piece of 4x4 over the new one and hammer it in. I work as a forklift mechanic and we do this everyday(to save time from driving to the shop to use the press).

Seriously, either PRESS it yourself or pay the little $$ to have them installed.

axle set is for both sides of an "axle," so left and right. you would just buy one set.




You nailed it!

But, make sure you look in the box before you buy. The axles should be different lengths.

In stock form, a front wheel drive car, will always understeer. The only real way to fix that is with a stiffer rear swaybar. As for the suspension travel and handling characteristics, nothing will beat a true coil-over setup.

It really boils down to your budget.If you want a full race suspension, go with one of the Jap coil-over setups. If you want spirited handling and a good road feel, go with an adjustable strut, lowering spring, and swaybar set. It's really up to you.

Or, if $$ is no option, go to the dealer and buy the stock components.

Good pads and SS lines is probably the best brake mod you can do(other than big brake conversion) If you were thinking of doing it, go for it, you will not be dissappointed. I have had them on many different cars in the past and have never had anything bad to say about them.

My ABS light is on due to a bad wheel bearing in the back right hub. The sensor is getting an irratic signal. Tried to source the part, but cannot replace only the bearings in the back. They do not sell that alone. You have to replace the whole hub assembly. The front bearing can be done alone, but you will need a press.

I would try to get the shop to pay for it if they were the cause. The sensors are very easy to damage while working in their vacinity. Good luck.
