6G Celicas Forums

Today drive my Celica for the first time in a year or so and took it to cars and coffee.

Neat. Drive it more. Too bad about that quarter panel (I've got a golf ball dent too).

Braked hard yesterday and pedal went almost to floor. It's still holding about half the pressure now, so I've only got moderate braking capability. Master is still full and I couldn't see any line leaks. I think my pads are toast though they weren't squealing. Caliper failure?

He would if he could, but he's had medical bs keep him from doing so.

Check the calipers and wheel cylinders and if they aren't leaking and there aren't any ruptured or swelled lines it's probably the master. The master on mine failed and just looking at the system you'd think nothing was wrong, but go to apply the brakes and there was definitely something wrong.

I put all new speakers in my car, and starting pulling apart what other dumb asses who owned the car before me messed up.
They put electrical tape around a hole in the intake...........

Yeah I've had medical issues the past year and a half they have prevented me from driving consistently. In the last year I maybe had 2 months of straight driving. I also hate the quarter damage too, stupid high school me did. I'm hoping once I graduating college, and get a real job I can get it fixed and painted.

you never showed us picture of your trd exhaust or how it sounds???!!!

It's not on yet. The reason why is because the previous shop who installed my other exhaust f**ked it up. I was missing a section of exhaust maybe about of 1.5 feet. I asked them to get some flanges and a pipe and match a flange to the b pipe to the flange of my exhaust. Just a simple straight pipe to connect two pieces of exhaust. What they did is welded the pipe to my b pipe and did what I requested at the other end. I don't know how they got this idea or thought this was right, or what I wanted. I didn't discover this till I went in to install my new exhaust. Sometime in June I'm taking it in to an exhaust shop to have it fixed correctly and my TRD exhaust installed.

Today I,... decided it was time to start posting on here again.

My current collection of 6gcs include:

94 Celica GT Liftback Red
94 Celica GT Liftback Silver - 3S-GTE + E153 Swapped (Picking up Sunday)
96 Celica ST Liftback White - V6 Project
98 Celica GT LE Convertible Green and Tan - Finishing up replacing a blown motor then up for sale
98 Celica GT Convertible White - Engine donor, rear driver side window donor and a few other parts smashed otherwise
99 Celica GT Liftback White - Smashed in rear, donor for motor, black leather interior and a few other parts gutted at this point and getting scrapped
99 Celica GT Liftback Black - Daily Driver

Currently I have a 3mz ready to be bolted to an E-153 transmission for one of these, probably the 99 Black Liftback, I have everything except the motor mount for the passenger's side, and the wiring harness conversion. I'm also sitting on a 1mz that I plan to install in the 96 ST with an S-52 Transmission and sell that I have everything other than the passenger's side mount and wiring for. Depending on the condition of the Silver 94 I may drive it as is for now, or find another shell to move all the parts over to.

Planning to keep dumping money in my Celicas for the next few months and see what I can accomplish. This month I've picked up a TRD front strut brace, a GT-4 Euro front lip, an arm rest pad with extra storage and cup-holders, as-well-as the car I'm picking up in a couple of days. I also picked up a set of the Toyota Calidina star wheels for one of these projects. I would love to pickup a GT-4 front clip or at least bumper, hood and core support.

Build threads coming soon, and others will be updated...

I think somebody likes 6th gen Celicas.

Of course I love my 6th gens, though I also have:

88 Supra Turbo eventually getting an LS turbo swap
88 Celica Alltrac waiting on body work
00 Toyota Camry V6 5-Speed donor car for a 6gc V6 swap
98/99 4Runner 4x4 (it is a 98 body, with a 99 everything else)

I find it uneasy to justify my "fleet." You have my respect. As a long-time owner I don't necessarily need to ask why, but why so many? Flips?

Today I loaded up the Celica on a tow-dolly behind the Uhaul and drug her to our new home in Oklahoma City

Today I wrapped up most major tasks I had left on the Celica... Just waiting on some odds and ends then hopefully I can fire her up!

Ordered Celica parts....

Piping for intake and FMIC so I can boost that 3sgte
Silicone Connectors
Hood Release Cable
Hood Prop Rod Retainer
Hood Prop Rod Catch
New Driver's Side Fender
Alpine Silver Metallic Paint

Getting closer to driving it to the exhaust shop to have that added too, I'll have this beast back on the roads in no time.



Yep, a few are flips, others are flips that I kept.

I have a healthy amount of rot on my quarter panels and the lip above my driver rear wheel was rotted loose and bent in over the wheel, rubbing on my tire when I went over bumps or around corners quickly. I cut the area out and did a ****ty patch panel out of sheet metal scrap I had around and just riveted it in. It was pretty great, my car is a mess. I keep searching local junkyards hoping to find a hatch with good quarter panels I can cut to put on mine but all I've found so far is a rotted grey one and a dented up red one. Gonna go out this weekend and try another couple yards!

BRAZZERS

This weekend, I installed JDM projector lows & clear highs and gave my car a MUCH needed wash/wax.
Today, I ordered some ARP extended wheel studs in anticipation for new wheels that I'm aiming to have by the fall.

(Yesterday/today) Did the timing belt, water pump, radiator, hoses, tstat, flushed, and put the pink stuff in the red ST in preparation for the big move from OH/MI to El Paso.

Can I grab a link for those ARP wheel studs? I'm after something because I'll be running a small spacer to fit my Works... Nothing crazy ~4mm but I want to upgrade the studs and lugs to be safe.

I got them from Amazon, because Prime shipping. They are $35 per corner everywhere that I've looked.
