6G Celicas Forums

hah sounds like mine...mine had a meeting with the back of a car and now its missing a headlights and fender

hm, well i dont really have the money to start doing much to it anyway. but im going to repaint the whole car again after, im really not sure how to go about beating back the frame like that, its very sturdy and seems almost impossible to get it back to the original shape

my car after new paint and before the wing went back on

my car as of sunday

bonus miata that i had to sell to move out and got my celica..and yes i regret it :\

my biggest problem is driving around with it exposed, im scared that there is a cute wire somewhere, my open headlight, my cracked up fuse box will get water in it and im going to start having electrical problems, if not an entire meltdown. Yeah id hate to set off my airbags haha

ok so i cant really decide if its totalled or not, either way i have to pay for it but here they are


yeah i took the fender off cause it was pretty crapped up

thats where my headlight is now located, and yes the silverstar bulb still works

my poor fuse box, and with it like that im really scared to drive in rain, any suggestions?

overall picture of my frame damage, so would cut in weld be the best option? im sorta scared too cause the damage stops right behind the hole where the big black and yellow wire come out? so how would i disconnect those and pull them out?

yesterday afternoon i ran into a friend from behind. My car isnt totalled, it needs some work. I hit them from about 15mph on my left corner and messed up my fender. hood, headlight, fusebox, and some of the top frame. I was wondering will the frame above and below the headlights actually come off? i dont think it does, and since its mangled so bad would the best idea be to cut off the section on another car and weld it in place of the old one? Also my fuse box is buckled and cracked how much should i worry about water getting in there? Just my luck i got it repainted about 2 months ago, anyways thanks for any help

ok so i finally found out what it is, the top of my strut where the spring goes in is broken off oand just flopping around, so kybs here we come

yeah, im going to put it up to try and mess around with it, but it might habe to stay like that until my coilovers come in

and on another not, speeds between 20-35 i get a vibration in the pedals mostly, ive read around it seems like it could be a cv joint, that i havnt really noticed until the lowering down since i feel about everything now haha

so today i became impatient waiting for coilovers and decided to cut my springs some for the hell of it, i really didnt take off that much, but the front right spring is brushing against the inner fender and it makes a horrible noise turning over bumbs ect..we tried to readjust it but it slipped back in place, should i just live with it or is there something i can do?

hey, today i was planning on changing my front brakes and rotors but couldnt, my left wheel is stuck on, i took all the lugnuts off, had it lifted, kicked it as hard as i could, pulled it as hard as i could, hit the wheel wih a rubber mallet, and sprayed everything down with wd-40 yet my wheel is still stuck on? I dont really know how it is, i just bought it like 2 months ago and from the papers the tires were reaplced a year ago, so its not like it been on or sitting for year and years, also the wheels are the stock bbs. and the other side came off fine, wasnt stuck at all. Anyone have any ideas?

yeah i had some nice r1's on my miata before i hit a tire that fell out of a truck infront of me..i called to replace since it bent one but they didnt make them anymore, and i couldnt find one, so i replaced with some rotas

6900 is a bit much...but id take it to get compression checked and everything, i mean it doesnt have a ton of miles on it but from the looks of things whoever used to own it didnt really putt around in it, so id be weary of abuse

yeah, i would of prefered a gt, but my uncle was cutting me a deal and i couldnt pass up 1200 for a nice condition celica, i mean with 250 in ppg paint people that dont know anything about cars thinks its a new car

rota rims are nice, i had a set of black rota GT3's on my miata for 8 or so months, i autocrossed it and everything, never had a problem, thinking about getting some for my celica

yeah, i mean i understand that it isnt a sporty engine, im just wondering more of why would they put a econobox engine in a sporty car? i mean my friends 93 i4 camry is faster . atleast mine looks and handles better!

hey i just joined up, i just picked up a 94 st hatch a few weeks ago, all stock except for the 40 or so hours me and my friend dumped on it repainting it a audi charcoal grey, but really what i was wondering is why the 1.8 in the celica is weaker then some others. my last car before this was a 1997 mazda miata, which was a fun car, it had a 1.8 and it put out 136hp and had a 7300 redline..i mean even a baseline integra put out 140hp..i could never really understand giving a car that looks like this 115hp and redline not even worth reaching...oh well, i still like it and hopeing to knock the power up a bit in the near future
