6G Celicas Forums

I might have to roll by if I'm off to check out the festivities

when you do a compression test and it seems low try to pour some oil through the spark plug hole and test again, if it still leaks its the valves if not its the rings

cool thanks guys for all the help and I'll keep you all posted.
I'll try to put more pics

I'd drive a distance to get it done.

here are a few pics

make sure that your grounds have good contact.

how do you post pictures I'm having trouble

sounds good. I'd get it so I can build a LHD car in socal with no problems for registering it.

the main concern with the floor pan is for the fuel tank hitting the rear subframe if you place a race fuel tank mounted in the trunk it shouldn't be a problem.

won't the stock 4 pot front brakes and 2 pot rears from the st205 GT4 fit?

when you put your motor back in the car make sure you place the map sensor sitting up right with the vacuum port facing straight down it made a difference on my black top 20valve in my 85 corolla. it ran smoother

i got the blue one with the rubber wheels still in the box anyone know how had it is to find it. it's the only one I've found

I have the real kit at home and wanted to know so I would not have to cut up the front. well guess I'll have to start trimming

you will not have to worry about a tunnel the celicas already have it. it the same under body as the gt4 w/ the exception of the rear trunk floor pan that's why if you convert to an all wheel drive from the gt4 the man thing you have to think about is the fuel tank. some people just use a fuel cell in the trunk. all the bolt holes are under the car already at least they are in my moms car. I was comparing it with the jdm gt4 at the house and everything seem to be there. so a rear wheel swap will be alittle easier just need to make sure the motor you choose to put in fit the engine bay and use the rear suspension and diff from the gt4.

did you have to do any modifying to the front add ons and if not where did you get it from? also where did you get the front clear turn signals and how much for them?

ohh by the way the looks like its coming along great.

what motor is in your car 1.7 7afe or 2.2 5sfe?

the cars been at the house since late 2005 had to get some things worked on and get it painted replace some moldings and stuff. bought it from a friend that had a place in el monte at the time. but its hard to get complete cars from japan now he says but he's still trying to see what he can do.

when and where is the next meet?

its here chillin in socal already but don't want it taken away from the cops if I get caught driving it around. I drive it around the block on the weekends to keep the fluids flowing.

looks good might end up doing that to if its needed to register the car.

anyone know where I can get a RHD Celica from japan registered in socal? In LA or Orange county. It's a GT4 WRC.

nice car. wish the one my brother has here was lhd might be easier to register it.

good luck. I'm in the same boat gotta finish my setup. I have a gt30 turbo with the manifold and exhaust housing thermal coated and a st205 inter cooler w/ hks 265 high lift cams, 255 fuel pump, 9.0 to 1 je pistons and a hks fcon v pro that still needs to be installed. still deciding if I should use the inter cooler and what size injectors and intake manifold? shooting for 650hp

how much for a beams w/ 6speed tranny from the alteza put into a 1976 celica hatch?

try changing the rubber grommets. when they get old they get dry and hard so they let the oil push through w/o sealing. plus you'll get a better look when you talk off your valve cover and while your at it change the rest of the valve cover gasket just make sure you get all the gaskets and seal/grommets that way you only have to open it up once.
