6G Celicas Forums

The only reason I would put any credence to the rumors of a Celica return is that the Solara is being killed off. This will leave a hole the Toyota line for a 2 door coupe. I really believe that a new Celica would be built around the 2AZ for the US market. I would rather see that than the tired 1ZZ being dropped into it again. I have a 1ZZ in my Corolla, but it’s a dog when compared with even the sluggish 5S in my Celica. If they kept the weight down a 2AZ powered Celica would be fun to drive. If they got ballsy and wanted to rattle Detroit’s cage a little they could also build it with a GTS trim and use the new 3.5L power plant. That would only be 32hp short of the advertised 300hp of a V8 Mustang. That would be a pretty quick car and by using Camry motors and transmissions the price shouldn’t be too ridiculous.

Good thread, I'll see if I can get this done tomorrow.



Exactly. If you don't have all the parts lying around it's probably not going to be worth the time / work for a few ponies and slightly quicker throttle response. However, if your driveway looks like a used Toyota dealership and you have multiple parts cars in the garage, well why not try something new .

That’s about it. Other than the lack of a GE motor is the US market I think Toyota built a heck of a car with the 6GC. The design still looks nice after 13+ years, not too many cars built in 1994 have that much appeal based solely on appearance, as they look very dated now.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried this. It looks close and I have all the parts to do it. Has anyone swapped the TB off a 4A-GE to a 5S-FE, the 4A-GE throttle body is about .25in larger, and it looks like might bolt up without modification. I over-bored the TB on my Solara and got a pretty good increase in throttle response, so I figure if this is a strait bolt on for my Celica it might be a nice addition. This wouldn’t cost a dime to do, and everything measured close, so I am going to try it if no one else has done it before.

Hey guys, I have a ’94 GT. I am going to be doing the clutch and flywheel on it. Does ARP have an application that will work for the flywheel bolts? I see them listed on there website for Toyota, but not for the 5S. If they do not, what fasteners would you recommend? Also, I am thinking that I should do the rear main while I’m in there, anything else that you can think of that I should take care of while it’s apart?
