thanks lagos... will check again is it ok to run like it is right now tho? i'll have time tomorrow to recheck it again!

everything else pretty much has been changed... the oldest was the timing belt which was just a little under two years... motor mounts less than 2 months ago and the waterpump less than 6 months ago... thans for the heads up!!




how i made sure the crank was tdc and the cams were 0 degrees!!!???

update: brand new timing belt installed...nothing damage thank god!!! but now my acceleration feels sluggish around 4000 rpm and i get a little back fire shifting from gear to gear out coming out of gear!?? any thoughts...imma time it soon to see if its off, aside from that she feels good driving her again...

toyota... cost $56

thanks for the reply, needed the positive news

driving home from work, im 4 blocks from house when i get to a stop sign. when i go again my motor stops and when i try to start it up only the starter is heard which brings me to conclusion that when i open the hood the timing belt snapped. i read that the 5a-fe are non- interference motors and after the belt snaps it kills the motor to prevent damage to the internals. is this true and of course i will check the inside... im just looking for relevance and good hopes!!

so i notice a screeching and knocking sound from either my front left wheel or the front right wheel again it happens only when i start to turn to the right. but disappears when i drive straight. i notice this before and there for changed both left and right front axel, but now the sound is back. the left front hub, spindle and wheel bearings were replaced about a year and a half ago due to worn wheel bearings. also i know its about that time to replace the front motor and the rear tranny mount, i will be doing so in a little bit but when i do i wanna fix the screeching/knocking sound at the same time! any ideas? any thing helps.

bypass the factory amplifier located underneath ac climate controls. unbolt the amplifier with a 10 mm and then unplug the 2 harnesses in the read of amplifier. if you purchased a wiring harness (17-1761) it should plug directly into the harnesses you unplugged from the amplifier. but consider the fact that any aftermarket radio has typically 18-22 rms watts and the type r speakers u purchased requires about 110 watts rms max. consider buying an 4ch amp.

seats for sale? preferrable the driver side?

it will fit but the rear of the factory head unit of the 7th gen celica is a single plug. depending it your celica has a factory amp or not it will or will not work. if you do have an factory amp then your good, if not then the 7th gen celica headunit wont have enough power to push the speakers in your car

problem fixed. it was the wheel hub and wheel bearings. replaced the hub and wheel bearings and had a machine shop press the bearing into the knuckle for me all in all about 200 bucks. well worth it!!!!

yea so i pulled the hub apart to get to the bearing and im quite certain there should be a plastic holder for the bearing correct? but the problem is is there is no more plastic holder thingy. on top of that bits and pieces of the plastic holder thing came out!

so i change my driverside front axel because it was making that clicking noise when you turn left. but after i changed it the noise increase! im suspecting the wheel bearing, but can anyone think if it to be something else?

I dunno whats going on with my clutch pedal and it just started doing it a month ago. here are some instances of what happens. at a dead stop like me waiting at a light i tend to press and hold the clutch pedal down and wait while im in gear for the light to turn green. when the light turns green i release the clutch but it will not come up and i would have to use the tip of my foot to pull the pedal back up. second instance is sometimes when driving under normal conditions i'll shift normally and the same problem happens between shift usually around 2, 3 and lease 4 gear! what could be the problem? i did check for fluid and i did bleed the clutch and it seem to work for a day or two then it came back? any feedback would be much appreciated.

trying to get rid of the rear? i'll take it off your hands for some kyb struts?

well right now, i have my current head unit underneath the pocket. and i'm planning to get the kenwood nav-512 dvd/nav receiver. i dont want to got double din because i dont want to lose the pocket and i dont want to be to noticeable of having a screen right there. i just want to see how it would look.


i looked at the specs for different headunits just to see what my options are and just because i was bored at work so i looked also at what discounts i get too.

ohh ok... just wondering cuz i got the 2 rear koni yellow shocks just chilling in my garage until i find oem shocks for the rear... our junk yards dont have our model celica in stock that why i was asking!!! i was even going to cover shipping cost

are they sealed? lemme ask around then? umm but if not i got that trade for you pm instead of using this forum thanks

trade for kyb rear shocks?? name a price i also got a set of lowering springs!? drop is 1.5 inches

sorry for confusing you i mean just the rear shocks so i can insert my koni yellows in them!? my set up is koni yellows and ground control coilovers i only have koni yellows in the front and i need the oem rear shocks? does that sound better

i have koni yellow inserts and i need the rear!? i'll trade him or you for my kyb rear struts

sorry is my previous question right? im talking about the housing that holds the shock inside and the spring on the outside?

does he have the rear oem shock struts?

dont get the g-force tires...i wouldnt recommend them becuase i had them for only 2 years and 19000 miles they dont do well in rainy days either. it just depends on how you ride on them

i check the oil once in a while becuase i know our engines are prone to oil leaking. but it got to a point where i am starting to worry. everyday there would be probably a good eigth cup of oil on the floor. i started looking around the oil pan to see if i scraped the crap out of it but no problem and all the screws are tight on it. the oil plug is tight and there is a new washer seal. then i notice the back of my engine closes to the firewall is shoaked in oil and it looks like it starts all the way up from the intake manifold!! imma pull the intake manifold off hopefully today and hope that it is nothing bad. but anybody got any ideas on what it is.?
