Got my celica back today! New belts and working fan so all is good

Wooo, victory burnouts!

Had to buy a new ISCV for the Celica today. It went from 95% functional to completely done in the span of about 4 miles. Can't have a car that wants to idle at 4K rpm.

Made a lot of progress on the AWD conversion

Pictures or it never happened.

Today I am going to get an alarm installed on my new truck. I know, I know... I could have rebuilt the Celica 3 times over for what I paid for the Truck, but honestly... I was getting tired of hauling the kayaks with the Scion. lol!

I got it a week ago. IMO, I feel like I got a hell of a deal. I did my research, called around and got the lowest price OTD (out the door) from several dealerships. My original plan was to get a SR5 model with the bare necessities, but it didn't work out the way I planned. Mainly because I had to order it like that from the factory and it was taking too long. And thank god that it did.

While I was at Fort Bend Toyota mere minutes from going into finance to sign on a 2016 Toyota Tundra TRD Off-Road 4x4 for 44,500 OTD... I got a call from Gene Shannon at Atkinson Toyota in Madisonville. He told me that he could beat that deal, so I told him to talk fast. He spoke with his manager and came back with an offer. 2016 Toyota Tundra TRD Off-Road 4x4 w/ pocketed fender flares, and leather for 41,000 OTD. The salesmen at Fort Bend Toyota thought it was bull**** until I showed them a picture of a written offer. I left, and immediately went to Atkinson Toyota, where I added the 7yr-100k mile warranty and walked out paying 42,391. IMO, I got a great deal. It was the end of November, the Wednesday after Black Friday, and a 2016... not 2017 with 104 miles after being transported overnight.

Now... I have something to haul Celica parts in. WHOOT!

Except for now there's no money to buy Celica parts. For buying a new vehicle I think you got a good deal, your truck must've been his sale needed to meet quota and/or get a huge bonus.

Well, I paid cash for the truck... so since I dont have a truck note... Ill be able to save for the celica parts. I think a big portion of the "deal" I got was because I went outside of Harris county to purchase the vehicle. The sales tax in Walker county is 2% lower than it is here in Harris county. Other than that... I think you might be right.

These dont have have a company name according to the seller. I spoke with him yesterday he replied to my messages quickly. He said there is no rust. That price converts to $237. Shipping shouldn't be more than $50. You can tell it has stainless flanges because the original one is shaped differently.

Hi I'm Fred, thanks for letting me join.
I own a 1996 Toyota Celica and i want to learn as much as i can and share what i can as well.

welcome Fred!
love the color of that 6gc.
there's lots to learn here. start a project thread for yourself in the projects section, hit up the stickies and read through them.
and don't be afraid to ask any questions.

I was wondering what would the price of a E153 LSD tranny with halfshaft and both right and left side stubs for the 6 bolt axles and a working starter. Just seeing how much i can get.

Today I ......

found my Celica. It hurts to see. From my research I concluded it only made it 5 months after I sold it in September 2012. I also noticed that the motor was changed. I had 390k+ on the original when it was sold.

First post in just over three years? BAN!

How'd you find it? Partout?!?!?!?!?!

I found a free vin checker site, so I decided to see if she was still around. I was sure that car would never die. On the report, it was classified as "junk" and after some medium-intensity web browsing I found the auction website where it was listed four years ago. I can only assume it was still up so I could come across it. I had to do some back-end website "browsing" in order to collect all of the photos without jumping through their hoops.

That's some good detective work! I suppose I won't ban you then. Sad to see it in that condition though.

Today I sold my Celica. After 5 years 2 months and 15 days of driving a fine car. I was very pleased with it and enjoyed the build. Thank you everybody for your advise and support when I asked questions here. I might come back to sell a few items in case you are interested in them.

Had I not sold mine it'd be five years this February. I miss it, but at least I still see it from time to time around town.

those are mint front seats, they would sell!??

Feels like yesterday when you sold your celica lol then the hunt for car searching began!
