yikes! if you step on the brake and hear grinding/crunching that generally means you have a brake pad so badly worn that the metal has begun digging into your rotor.
You would need to replace the brake pads and get the rotors resurfaced at the auto parts store, or buy new rotors.
If you continue to drive with them dragging you will probably ruin the caliper too and have to replace it as well.
if you need to pump the brake pedal to get it to stop you may have air in the brake lines that needs to be bled out. which would be a part of the operation if you replaced the caliper anyway.
If you take the brake pads off and you can get the caliper to compress back in then it should be ok and you can get away with just doing the pads and rotors.

I would check this first, I think the sensors are just for the ABS system, the brakes will still work even if the ABS doesn't.
even if you're not a pro mechanic just changing the pads and rotors is easy, idk if we have any threads on this forum but I bet you can find a bunch of how-to on youtube.

and if you check out your pads/rotors and the pads look good and there are not big scrapes in the metal or something then you may have a problem that needs a factory tech trained to work on the ABS

Convert to quad projectors, with the type that is both high/low beam in one projector, that switches by changing the cut off.

That won't happen without serious modification. The high beams use a 9005 bulb which is a single filament bulb, meaning it is only intended to put light out where the headlight housing aims it unlike a dual filament bulb which has a headlight housing designed to aim the light to different places depending on which filament is illuminated. The Celica's headlights were designed to only direct the light from each housing to one place, and changing bulbs won't change that fact.

You can imitate a DRL setup which will keep the high beams on at half power, but regardless you will still be aiming your high beams up into oncoming traffic which is downright dangerous and illegal, half power or not. Daytime running lights are safe during the day, but still blinding at night to other drivers.

The only way to actually do this safely would be to replace all four bulbs and headlight housings for a dual filament setup.

you could switch you hi beams to h4 bulbs then make a couple of harness modifications to double the plugs on your low beam harness, and convert your hi beam harness to fit the alternate pin pin the h4 bulb.

that way your light switch wont need any modifications, and it'll function like normal only with 4 low beams and 2 hi

you can use dupli color fabric and Vinyl it comes in a spray can do some reasearch on it you need to be able to spray good and use laqurer thinner to clear all the grease from your hands ertc....youtube it you can even do your carpets it costs about 10 bucks a can

I'm currently painting my interior at a pace of a few peices a week when the weathers warm enough

What year?

7A-FE or 5S-FE? (ST or GT)

ya when I first got mine I noticed there was a spot where it had broken and they just slipped the one piece inside the other and put a hose clamp around it.
wasn't real air-tight, probably why the intake was so dirty! I sealed it with some superbadass white much-better-than-ducktape stuff my brother gets from work
and now its great. at least that's all I'm gonna spend on it till I get a couple bucks to build a CIA intake with the kit as described in the forums.

but I have to spend some money on a water pump and suspension stuff right this minute.

Hi, 1soljaslim5, i use BMC CDA carbon specific for Celica 3SGE.

It's very good as airbox and it's cleanable, but it's a little expansive (255 euro + 20 euro cleaner kit ,bought 2 years ago)

And of course, i changed Beams air hose (that 90° Beams stock elbow with resonator) with a blue silicon elbow high quality hose (50 euro)

It works very very well

i got my custom lights on here, projectors with l.e.d. halo's for a lot less than that.....

I'd do it for $30 plus return shipping for anyone on here that wants it done. Mainly because it's time consuming. Just ship them to me, I'll do them, and then I'll get payment set up when they're done and ready to be returned.

You can buy 2 fiberglass and bond them together. And mold to desire. You cut the middle step. Its been done.
