6G Celicas Forums

Not sure if you guys will be able to see this or not, but I bought a third Celica yesterday!

My first one is the ST204 that is my baby, second is a parts car ST184 that didn't run,
It's Demise:

and this one is another ST184 which according to the seller runs and drives fine.
Not bad for the price I paid:
ST184 Celica I Bought


I am gonna be taking the extractors off the ST184 and installing the old ones from my other ST184, and using the extractors on my ST204.

PegGTS, very nice

Good deal,

I bought mine that was about 1 metre and cost me $29

Yeah I was just about to buy some universal mesh like yours online, then I read of some people using this so I figured I'd give it a shot

Today, since it warmed up to a pleasant 11 degrees F, I installed the plugs/cap/rotor/wires I've been sitting on for two weeks.
I took the Autolite plugs out and replaced with some copper NGK Vpower, I must admit even the way the NGK plugs were constructed is So much better, the
seal washer was way better, the material the threads were made up were way better, the terminal the wires connect to was way better. and still only about $1.50 each on RockAuto.com
I must say this is the first time I replaced a Cap and Rotor where you could Plainly see that it had a lot of carbon build up on the contacts and really needed to be replaced. Although it didn't have
any Denso markings or Japanese writing so IDK if it was the original cap or not.

I started to replace the Fuel filter as well, but I couldn't get the old one off. I may need to get a special 6point box end for the 17mm banjo nut on top, a nice long one.
or somebody to hold the lower wrench in place so I can put some torque on it. I've had bad experiences in the past with messing up the fuel line...

time for Scooby Doo Flashback (Wayne's World Style)
/didledo didledo didledo ...

long story short, It was my first car, a '79 Berlinetta Camaro, with a 350 and a quadrajet 4barrel carb. I tried to get that fuel-filter out of there with only one wrench, so
when the nut turned the fuel line turned with it and put a small kink in it which actually ripped a small crack in the backside of the line that I didn't see. Then I figured I'd just
put it back together and not mess with it till later. when I tried to start it up it would barely run and I kept pumping the gas pedal to keep it going. So I backed out of the
driveway and realized I wasn't going to be able to keep it running so I pulled back in the driveway. About this time, just as I was reaching for the key to turn it off, the headers
got just hot enough and BOOM! it caught fire with flames coming out the hood and fenders, and of course the old heavy doors didn't want to open and I had to throw my shoulder
into it to get out. then the fire department showed up and took an axe to my fiberglass nose and squirted Foam down in my carburetor : { that motor was done.
It was a white Berlinetta with T-tops and I later rebuilt it with parts from a black z28, including the back nose, hood and rear spoiler. It looked kinda like black and white cop car. also used the LS 3.73 rear-end with
my Berlinetta transmission. It did 55mph at about 3500 rpm

holy mother thats alot!! i only pay $200 a year here in pr and im good to go

today I found out that we can lock our glove compartment. Locked it by accident and freaked out. then put the key in and click unlocked. awesome! lol!

.... prepared the 8" speaker on the passenger side for the new speaker that arrives in a few days.

then washed the car and polished the bonnet

... snapped the nozzle off my wash/wipe reservoir leading to the front windshield washers

now putting a bung in the reservoir and redirecting the rear washer to the fronts...

local breakers yard has a GT. will visit and get necessary replacement for future job.

Today I actually did some work on my car. My front splitters were to the point of almost falling off due to my hard driving in the snow.
It's so good to have a garage with a pit. Weather of 60s is nice too.

Random stuff I find browsing

Today my other set of JDM mirrors came in. Hopefully I can make this set work.

Why, what was the problem with the other one?

I had 5 wire mirrors, with a 7 wire switch, and 7 wire relay. My new ones should be a complete 5 wire set.

Had? Sold them?

Nope I still have them.

Today I found a set of Jdm tails for $200 in Australia, and I'm undecided whether I should get them or not..

1 tail light seems a bit scratched up..

after looking there is another left one for sale that looks less scratched,

Also came across while browsing folding mirrors for $55 (minus shipping)
Anyone know how much more effort will it take to get the wires and buttons and wire them up?
