6G Celicas Forums

I have contacted the few members who are awaiting completion of there orders. Everyone is satisfied with the outcome and understanding of the situation.

I have NEVER recieved money from a member here and ran, and I never will. These last few customers were MISSING something, or had BROKEN items with there purchase. An easy oversight or more likly shipping damage. I have been in contact with them to ensure they do in fact have everything they paid for. The time constraints come from dealing with parts that are NOT found on US soil. So I have to deal with overseas. I have to wait for a container to come in, have in clear customs, inspect which engines will be parted, then get the customers there items. Shipping alone can take up to 3 months by the time the container is loaded.

As for "making excuses," I have no need to justify what happened anymore then I have...ESPECIALLY to members who have never done business with me. I have spoken with the few members with outstandings orders, and have been doing everything in power to make everything right by them. As far as I am concerned, everyone is happy with the outcome, and glad it is behind us. They may have waited an AWFUL long time (some of them) but that was really out of my control.

Thank you 6GC

Hey everybody, been a long time since I have logged onto 6GC! A few friends of mine have called me informing me of some less than flattering comments being made about me on this site, regarding past customers. I want to start out by saying I have not been accepting orders from 6gc members for the past 2 months now, and will not be accepting orders from this point on. I am not a vendor, nor did I ever claim to be. I an just a car enthusaist like everyone else here...and had a great connection to JDM imports. I pasted this connection onto the community, and yes made a few bucks at it. But this was/is NOT my lively hood. I have a full time job, very busy personal life, and personal projects going on just like everyone else...then factor in the JDM importing stuff, and you can see how quickly I could fall behind on the LARGE volume of sales that have come my way over the past year.

When I first started, I was only selling about 15 motors a year....then after the first year, I sold almost 50. There is sometimes problems with shipping, wrong parts, broken parts, missing parts, etc...so when dealing with a volume of 50 motors a year...I had trouble keeping up with everyones questions, problems, installs, tech help, etc. I dont have the time, or the patience for that matter, to deal with engine sales anymore.

As for past customers, you all have my phone number and I am not running from anyone. I have never ran in the past, and I am not running now...so please dont spread rumors. I am dealing with JAPAN, and I can only relay the information I get from them, to YOU. If I am given wrong information, then you are given wrong information. If I am sent wrong parts, then I cant send you the right parts. This is the nature of the beast...and lately there has been an ABUNDANCE of miss communication among my suppliers, customs, suppliers, etc. Bear with me and EVERYONE will get exactly what they paid for.

As for me, I look forward to putting this behind and becoming more active in the community like I used to. No more pushing parts, ordering parts, importing parts, tearing apart half cuts, stripping engines, etc....LOL unless I need it for my cars of course I look forward to pushing the envelope again, putting the cars on the rollers and posting numbners, turning doubters into believers about what can and cant be done on these engines. I look forward to just truely enjoying my cars and working on them like I used to, before it becae a "JOB" I wont be back on this site for a while, so for those that want to get in touch with me, you all have my number. I havent even looked up the "I hate Jim threads" yet, as I feel everything was covered in this post. For my many friends/followers on this site, please direct anyone "bad mouthing" me to this post and have them call me.

Thank you 6GC, and I look forward to posting numbers of both my alltrac and my Blue Celica. Everyone stay tunned!!!

Still for sale.

I would be willing to split the complete brake set off of this. Price for right and left front calipers, 2 front rotors, right and left rear calipers, and 2 rear rotors is 700 shipped.

Price for the AWD conversion as listed above...1700 shipped without brakes.

As always, all items are OBO

YUMMMMMM!!!

Bump

I have up for sale a low mileage GEN3 CT20B off of one of my GEN3 motor swaps. The turbo is in mint condition. This turbo is coming off my GEN3 swap that I will use to complete my built alltrac build...so I have no need for the CT20B, as it will be replaced by a precision 5857. Price is 450 shipped within the US 500 shipped everywhere else.

BUMP...I will do cheaper pricing for those looking to buy a GEN3 swap at the same time

xcvI have a lot of questions about the motor in the alltrac.

Yes it is a GEN3 in my alltrac.
Yes it will come with a plug and play engine harness for your 6GC
Yes, it is a drop in ready setup...IT IS RUNNING in my alltrac

Here is the build thread with all the info on the motor

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76683

I have only had this for sale for a few hours, and I already have tons of requests for part outs. There is a lot of interest on this, so I will keep it together for the next couple weeks as I would like to sell this as a whole. First come first serve. If nobody buys it as a whole, then I will update the post with part-out pricing.

You have a PM chacha

I thought I would list this now for anyone who is looking to do a swap in the spring.

The GEN3 that is currently in my alltrac will be coming out in the next 2-3 months for the built motor I have been slowly gathering parts for. I only put this GEN3 in to get the car running for the time being, and to work out any bugs on the car while still on a stock GEN3 ECU before upgrading to the build and standlone.

What you see is what you get. It is a COMPLETE GEN3 swap (obviously, because it is running in my alltrac) just like all my other motor sets, but this one is better. You will be getting a COMPLETE GEN3 3SGTE motor set that has had all the gaskets checked and replaced as needed, new high performance ACT 6 puck clutch installed, Upgraded adjustable cam gears, Motor cleaned, prepped,.... Intake manifold, Valve cover and heat shield painted. Also...I upgraded the from the CT20B to a TD06 turbo kit before I ever installed the engine into the car. This engine and turbo kit upgrade will max out your factory fuel system under 20psi. So instead of buying a stock GEN3 where you need to replace the gaskets, do a timing job, and upgrade the clutch, and get a downpipe, etc...and still be on the stock CT20b making 300whp at 18psi. You can choose to run this setup and LITERALLY just drop it in when you recieve. Me and Manny have done all the work for you. And you will be making 360+whp at 18psi with this turbo kit, as apposed to 300whp with the stock GEN3. Right now I have a FMIC on my alltrac, but if you buy this setup...I will reinstall the factory W2A unit with upgraded heat exchanger and upgraded pump.

Price for a standard GEN3 with upgraded Heat exchanger and upgraded pump, and plug and play harness
2800 shipped to your door.

Price for the GEN3 setup in my alltrac with upgraded heat exchanger, upgraded pump, and plug and play harness....3500 shipped to your door.

I have a CT20B for sale. You can have it for 500USD shipped to your door.

I will be going with a Precision 5857 for turbo choice. I plan on making 500AWHP at around 20-22psi on pump gas...and 600+AWHP on race gas. It will be a long time before I am comfortable enough with the 500AWHP tune at the track I am sure, to feel safe taking a pass at the 600+awhp tune. For now, the race gas tune will be for $hits and giggles, just to see what it will make at 30+psi. It will also be a good bit of information to see how well my setup is flowing, and where/when/what my next restriction in the build will/may be.

Hey guys, as many of you know...I was planning on converting my car to AWD this year, but since I recently bought my 1993 alltrac, I no longer have a desire to covert my Blue Celica anymore.

NWcelica, I am glad we were able to talk on the phone and that you finally got your parts. Thanks to everybody who went to bat for me and told NWCelica I was a stand up guy and would not run with his money. But he had every right to be annoyed, as it did take some time to send out his stuff. We spoke on the phone and I explained to him the type of weeks I have been having. If there is anything else you need NWCelica...feel free to PM me. Thanks for your time and business. All orders have shipped. The only package left to go out is the RHD conversion, and that will be out by the end of the week. Thank you for time, patience, and business to the many members who have done business with me within the past few weeks.

Manny AMAZING job as always. Car looks great! You ALWAYS go above and beyond the call of duty in your projects, and it shows. Thanks a million times over bud.

My inbox is full because my computer crapped out on me. I am on a friends computer and have cleared my inbox. For some reason my iphone will only let me read messages but not reply. So if I take a few days to get back to you guys, it is because I need to use my friends computer.

But as stated, inbox is cleared so feel free to pm me.

^ This man speaks the truth. The items that make the GEN3 so much more powerful are the turbo, Intake manifold, cams, and ECU. All these compoinets need to be changed for 450+whp anyway.

I perfer the GEN3 because the parts you remove, can be sold for a rather large amount of cash, which will actually make the GEN3 platform a cheaper platform to start with.

But in the end, they are the same...so pick your poision....for me, I went with a GEN3 for my 500+awhp Alltrac project.

Yes, it is a direct bolt on for any GEN2 series engine...no matter the model it came from.

I have another one. Price is 450shipped anywhere. Comes with the factory oil lines.

Add those fiberglass C-one lips to the Christmas special and I can guarantee at least 2 orders

PURE AWESOMENESS!

You my friend were correct....thank you!

Does anyone know what kind of hood pins those are, I want them for my alltrac. I bought the same hood as the one on this car...and now I see why he has hood pins (I am sure doing 200+mph in the standing mile may also come into play LOL). I love the look of those hood pins, so any help would be great.

Manny, great work as usual! I love the way the AFPR is coming out. Nothing sets off a build like some new SS lines

I own, have swapped, wired, and seen dozens of swapped Celicas. So I am a bit particular when it comes to my own cars. And I cant say enough good things about Tweaks work. The guys over at Phoneix tuning are truly ARTISTS when it comes to wiring, and they are PROVEN setups. When I got my harness back, I went threw it and it was IMACUALTE! I have no worries that I will be chasing wiring gremlins, I have no worries my harness/car will catch fire, and I have no worries that it will fail me. I know that when I get a harness back from Tweak...IT IS DONE, and WELL above a standard of satisfactory. Tweaks work is above average, even on a professional grade.

I would recommened him to anyone, he is the best at what he does...there is no way around that.
