6G Celicas Forums

sounds like your head gasket blew

there was a silver celica sitting at a dealership on 120th just east of sheridan on the north side. I believe they wanted 8900 for it, but not sure. It was there when i drove past last week.
I wanted to get it for me, but cant get the money for it.

just a heads up. your right, there a very few 6g celicas in this state

not really worth it man

Please no. Why would anyone want to put them on there car beats me. I think they are so ugly and so played out. Id rather keep mine stock. But ill sign it anyway for those of u who want them

Thats what I did. I do think the carbon fiber ones would look descent though.

That looks pretty nice, especially for a '94. I would say go for it if at all possible

....looks...like...a tiburon :/

I would have to agree on this one. I personally don't care for tiburons, they just aren't comfortable to me.

Supra that is already souped up

Where is the fun in that? unless your just a car enthusiast. Half the fun with cars is building them the way you want it. This is just my opinion.

Another thing, does your cooling fan come on at all? that could be another possibility If it don't, then it will run okay when your driving cause you have air flowing through, but when you stop, it will boil over. Hope this helps.

take it to a shop. sounds like it could be your water pump and/or thermostat, or worst case the head gasket( not as likely). If it does it all the time, you will ruin your engine

I'm going to have to agree with ya on this one too, I had to get rid of my '72 El camino a couple years back(money probs) and I still miss driving it.

What exactly is involved with changing the wheels for winter? Do you need 4 separate wheels,

If your changing tire size to 16", you should hang onto your 14's and have good snow tires mounted on them. when the snow flys, you just have to take the 16's off and put your 14's on. when your not using them, put them in your garage. A good snow tire is Bridgestone Blizzacks. As far as a good summer tire there are several out there, my favorite one, as far as price goes, is the Potenza re950(also bridgestone). Hope this helps a little

the hole on the right side is fine if you want wires running all over you engine compartment. Personally, I like the clean look. The only part of my amp power wire that is visible, is where it hooks to the battery.

The disappointment, its a V8, and its only pushing out 225hp.

But you have to remember that the body is fiberglass, thus its a bit lighter than other cars of its era. the heaviest part of that car is the drivetrain, but its still got nice power

NEVERMIND....I BOUGHT ONE TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!

What year, st or gt and how much? ya need to post pics soon too

alright mine so far all i can find is four speakers can some one help me out where the other ones should be? i found the two fronts and the two by the rear seats i got a 95 st if that helps any... do all celicas come stock with 6 speakers or 8 or do they come stock with 4 also?

they do come stock with just 4 speakers also, thats what I have to

those two are the only ones that I've seen for a few months, so I hope it works out for ya.

Later,
Joe

Those mats are kinda pricey, and once again the only celi they show are the 7gen

Yea I heard that too, never found it and said screw it. you really don't need to cut anything, just poke a hole through the rubber. The hole in the rubber doesn't need to be very big at all. get a wire hanger, straighten (sp) it and tape the wire on the end very securly, and put it through the hole. go under the hood and pull the hanger very slowly through the hole. the wire gets really tight going through the hole which helps to seal it back up.

I cant see it either, this sucks

It could be what CeliBria said, but it sounds like it may be the tie rod ends, inner or outer or both,most likely the outer, may have gone bad. you need to take it to a shop and have them check it out, especially if you are still learning what to do.
if you do take it to a shop, have them show you what is bad, there are some shops that still like to rip people off

Hey cruwl, I don't know if you've seen this one in the paper, but i'll type the ad for you.

Since it don't show the price, they probably want an arm and a leg for it, but the ad caught my eye. Hope you can find one soon. there are maybe a dozen of these cars in the valley, so they are hard to come by.

EDIT: I guess if I would have reread the first post I would have seen that you found this one already, sorry about that:EDIT

what I did was take a sharp knife, cut a very small hole in rubber at the base of the steering column, where it goes through the firewall and got the wire through that way. then put silicone around the hole to keep any moisture out. You have to do this from the inside of your car. hope this helps.

It's a lot too far for me to drive, but make sure to take some good pics while your there.

phone # is 375-1911, glad I could be of some help.
