Nice! I probably would have done it black, but clean is better!


Yeah I was thinking about doing the valve cover, heat shield and intake manifold all black... perhaps I still will.

Though that may not help as I tried it after the following; I had the same issue after cleaning my throttle body and IACV, I could've swore it had a vacuum leak so I redid the gaskets like two or three times and on the third time I gave up. After driving it though it seemed to settle down to where it was before. Also make sure the A/C idle up circuit isn't disconnected now.


I tried it... I actually thought it worked...but then it turned out the throttle cable was also too tight! biggrin.gif

Ah thank you so much for your reply! I'll give it a try and if I have no luck then perhaps there's still some carbon build up around where the throttle plate is. Either that or I'll drive it for a while and see if it settles.

Also the throttle was sticking a little so I cleaned the throttle body today.

It's idling high after this, does anyone know the procedure for idle relearn on a Celica AT200? smile.gif

Before:



After: (this was as clean as I could possibly get it)

I can seem to find a short ram intake for the Celica SR frown.gif The only one I can find is the K&N for £170 but I'd rather not spend that much on a car that I'm only going to upgrade in 6 months to a 2.0 GT.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I decided to get a garage to do it after doing some research about the cam belt change.

Some more pics:







Wheels need refurbishing, front bumper needs respraying and scratches on the rear right need sorting out.

Today I had to modify a corroded exhaust bracket after I noticed the hanger wasn't even connected.

Hello everyone!

I just randomly won an auction for a Celica SR on eBay and only ended up paying £350 with 12 months MOT and no advisories.

I'm coming from a 2004 Yaris 1.3 vvti so it's nice to have a little extra power and there's already an exhaust on it, man the 7afe sounds sweet!

Here she is...

I really had to clean it up because it was pretty disgusting but worth the elbow grease. It needs a cam belt and I'm not quite sure if I should tackle it myself or not.

Happy to finally be a Celica owner! smile.gif I'll probably keep this until my next insurance change in Feb and then get a GT.
