6G Celicas Forums

Now you're talkin'! I can see myself cruising around in a little MR2 convertible.

As tempting as the cookies are, LOL, I don't see myself in a 7gc. I like the convertibles too much.

If I ever drove something different, I think it'd be a new MX5, or maybe a Lexus SC or IS.

I'm good for August 19th. Did we choose a location?

Hey Celica Fam!

I'm hosting a Tail of the Dragon cruise on May 13th if anyone's interested in joining.

I created a FB event with all the deets.

Tail Of The Dragon - FB Event Link

It's been a year and a half and I'm still sad about this. She was my favorite little Celica.

We had a great 15 years together. She was just about to roll over 300k miles too!

RIP

The End.

The Day My Heart Broke Into A Million Little Pieces

I thought y'all should know.

I miss you guys!

Thanks for the cabin info!

I would need to stay somewhere, because it's a 6 hour drive for me!

I'm good for April 25th.

Are there any details on these cabins?!

Yay! A stripping party! I usually don't get invited to those! Anyway...

I'm excited the blue car is a coupe, that'll bode well for my vert collection.

I'll even bring my screw driver.

Is there anything else I should bring?! Dollar bills, a sawzall, cookies?!

I'm excited for this! Operation Green Beans, here we go!

I'm down for a Green Beans meet!

Sounds fun!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Tail of the Dragon meet! I really enjoyed seeing y'all again & meeting new Celica friends as well! I thought we had an excellent turn out!

I loved seeing all the Celica's swaying around the curves together! It made my heart happy!

Thanks for posting videos and photos! I'm really enjoying them.

For dinner in Knoxville, TN I would like to suggest Stock & Barrel. I'd like to try something local to the area, that I can't find here at home.

Let me know Lindsay & Bitter if this place looks good to you!

Stock & Barrel
35 Market Square
Knoxville, TN 37902

I added the lunch time info! SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS!

Let's meet on 74 on the SE side of Indy, the first exit once you get on 74 is 'Exit 96 - Post Rd'. There's a Circle K gas station right off the exit.

Circle K
3801 S Post Rd.
Indianapolis, IN

Is that good with you guys? What time would you like to meet there?

This way we can gas up, etc. And you won't be back tracking at all... we'll be right on the route.

Who all is planning on meeting me in Indy to drive down?

I would like to drive down through Cinci, so we can meet up with Rob, who will be passing through there.

I'm not opposed to staying an extra day if I can find logging in Knoxville, or wherever.

Hey All!

It's one month until the Tail of the Dragon meet and I've just put together all the details for the trip.

I believe there are going to be around 8-10 cars according to the Facebook event, but with the non Facebook people, we may have higher numbers then that.

I'm really excited for this trip and I look forward to hanging out with everyone. Also, if you're driving down from Chicago on Friday and want to meet up with me in Indianapolis, I'm happy to caravan down to the Dragon together.

Don't worry about losing the group, because the person in front of you will have to wait for you to catch up---

Hey Celica Family,

I'm organizing a Tail Of The Dragon meet for the weekend of August 17th & 18th 2019!

So, for those who don't know, the Tail of the Dragon is a stretch of road between Tennessee & North Carolina that's 11 miles long and includes 318 curves! THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN CURVES! That's insane! Anyway - This road attracts motorcyclists and car enthusiasts from far and wide, who all want to experience this road. I've always wanted to go, so I decided to put a group together. I'm super excited for a weekend away with a bunch of friends & Celica's!

I've created a Facebook event for this, but I wanted to put this here for those of you who are not on the FB.

If you're interested in going, let me know!

I will add details here as I put them together. I'm currently working on the itinerary.

John has taught me so much! The guy really knows his stuff. And yes, he did mention that he used to be involved in the 6gc world.

What kind of spacers do you recommend? From my research, it seems like I should go with hub centric bolt on spacers. I have not yet looked into brand and quality yet.




I'm confused. Shouldn't the front and back spacers be the same?! To get the factory flush fitment? My fenders are not rolled or anything.

I got Moog camber bolts from Rock Auto - the website said they were "performance" parts. And I know, I know, Ted said it was a waste of money, but I wanted to get real camber bolts so that I can hopefully understand how they work, by having the actual part, and putting it on myself. That's how you learn right?!

CAMBER BOLTS





Uh huh. Baby steps. Baby steps.

And somehow you've convinced me that this may eventually be a good idea.

Repetition and persistence work! Who knew!?




I'm sad I never got to see your Celica. Is there a build thread for it?

At least you can live vicariously through all of us!

It's all good, no worries! There's no way you could have known.

And it was amicable. We're still friends.

I'll have to ask the TCOA crew when the date gets closer, they often don't know their work schedules till the week of. I'll keep ya posted.

Jake and I broke up, so... yeah. I was planning on bringing myself.... and a Celica.

APRIL 20th

1. Jake and Sam
2. Chris, Stacy, and Theo
3. Annette

BLAZIN!

I'm excited to see y'all in April!

I'm confident I'll have at least one car that will actually make it there this time.
