I didn't buy my coilovers yet, is SS-III something that is comparable in price to do, will it look any different, and I don't race so will I even need it?

MaskedMan was able to get me a piece in PERFECT condition. I mean this thing must be brand new Thank you so much! I don't know how to install it but here goes nothing...

MaskedMan sent me one for free

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

Changed all 4 bulbs and they work. Haha.... sorry false alarm.

I thought the bulbs were blown, but I just tapped into the wires to install my JDM Projectors (the small bulb on low-beam) and that won't turn on either.

Any specific fuse or relay I should check? All the other lights on fuse 30 are working fine. Been scratching my head for too long, I need to step away for a bit

Here we go. Wish me luck. Just fixed my tabs.

My 1 question is: Anyone got a how-to on wiring the 2nd bulb on these projectors? I saw the thread that said you can wire it into the side markers, wasn't sure if anyone else had any ideas.

Same thing but even better.

I just put in a new radio and I don't think I have an amp in my GT or else wouldn't it have caused issues?

Are there any groups out in Vegas that meet?

I am in Vegas. Let's meet for a beer. We can both do our 3S-GTE swaps together

Late reply but you push in and twist, there is a metal nipple on it.

But...

Can anyone help me figure out why my dome light is SOOOO dim? Hard to see anything at night.

Ok, I am tossing around picking up a GT-S emblem from ebay.... but it's 30 bucks. lol.

Awesome, thanks everyone for the responses. I just ordered the gunk you suggested, that might buy me the time I need to find everything for a Beams swap. I just need to buy an engine and my mechanic can find the rest or do I need an axle as well? Anything else?

Good thing I have 3 cars between the wife and I as I have a feeling it might be a while before I can drive it again once I start....

Nothing on the Wiki page about the 6th gen GT-S. Was this a real thing that was offered or are people making them custom?

Hi, for years I have been driving with a bare metal brake. (Automatic) The rubber must have fallen off. Is this replaceable with OEM equipment or should I get something aftermarket?

Second dibs.

Going to try this and I will let you guys know:

Hello,

I don't know much about cars. All I know is that I love my Celica and I want to completely restore it to like-new condition. Who can I PM on here to help answer questions because I have spend so many hours digging around on here but to be honest, most of this stuff is extremely technical.

I just made my first purchase of some projectors on the forum. Besides the cheap wheels and a new double din stereo, she is still stock.


1. What does it mean when people say they have 5k/8k projectors? Did they open up the JDM projector and swap it? Do I want to do this?
2. I broke 2 tabs off... No, my WIFE or my DOG did... even worse that I didn't have the satisfaction of breaking them myself. The thread on here suggests bondo fiberglass or an epoxy. Also a soldering iron. But then I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1cojemglE
3. Will there be a reason I need to change the RHD projectors to LHD?
4. My mechanic wants 900 bucks to change some leaking seals. Should I grab a 2.2 GT engine and just swap it? (This is my 2nd engine, I've put almost 100k on this one, Car has 170k)
5. Which brand coil-overs do I buy?
6. How do I make her faster? She seems dead inside.
7. Who will hold my hand when I start gutting this thing to put a turbo engine in it?


While I don't know much about cars, I'm not completely useless. If anyone needs website/graphics assistance you just need to ask!

I have a million more questions, seriously.

Hey everyone, I want to wake up my 2.2 GT.

Just so you know:
I don't know if my mechanic has the mental capacity to do a red top swap, nor do I have the the know-how to read this forum and buy all the right parts.


Until I find the right person, what can I do to liven up this car so I can get on the freeway / up to passing speeds better. It just seems, I dunno... flat.

My aunt bought this car in 1995 and it was fast as a rocket it felt like. Maybe it was because it was the first sports car I ever drove. But it would be nice to get this puppy alive again.

So I have been able to rebuild my automatic shifter that got destroyed but Toyota doesn't make the little clear plastic piece that pops into the housing that protects the lettering on the automatic shift assembly. Mine is starting to deteriorate from age and it is really hard to see which gear the transmission is in. If anyone has access to this part, I would much appreciate your time in helping with this matter.

Bonus points: How can I restore the old piece?

I really need to find a new shifter, my mechanic totally destroyed mine. Any ideas?

I found it on page 3

Is $1,000 the expected budget for parts then? They don't look cheap...

I need my car lower, I can see too much wheel well. Where is the best place to start? I am just beginning a full restoration on my 95 GT.

Is there a how-to on those headlights anywhere?
