6G Celicas Forums

if only some computer nerd would make a base map for the 3sge beams redtop in a 6th gen celica/mr2 and give it to a company like adaptronics or aem that way we could save some monies and be able to drive it to our local tuner!!

How long have you let your car sit/ in storage before starting/ driving it again?

Been about a month for me. Had a wet few days so hopefully it washed the salt off the roads. So I couldn't resist... feels good.

Like 4 days, tops. Poor thing never catches a break.

Then again you have vehicles that are more likely fun to drive.

Sometimes I just surprise myself when I get them buttery smooth shifts, like... "Nailed it!"

So... I drove the Celica today, first time since like early February. Of course the battery was dead, so I put the trickle on for a minute & it fired right up.

Was also nice not to have any leaks on the garage floor. Hopefully it stays that way.

Nice!

Make sure it's ready for the spring meet!

^that!

A little late but...

A fellow member on here had some JDM tails for sale, so I picked them up. I was a little hesitant but in person they look great & they bring the car up to date, like from a mid-90s Toyota to an early 2000s Toyota. I also like more of the amber turn signal. Here is a question what have yous done with the extra bulb socket from the USDM harness so it doesn't get water/ short out? Was just thinking of cutting the socket off & heat shrinking to prevent anything bad happening.

Before...


After...


Added an LED 3 brake light bulb...


I had also pick up some yellow fog light bulbs & installed them in some new/ used non-broken housings. No pics but yellow fogs equals all the coolness.

Last year when I put the new clutch in I had left off the splash shields because there was some leaks I knew I want to fix. Now that those are taken care of (I hope), I FINALLY put them back on & now have all the aerodynamics.


I believe that's all for now.

Went to the Mid-West Meet & Chee(& his S.O.) had taken some pictures.





Group shot... LOL

If you're concerned about water I'd just use a balloon over the socket and cable tie it into place, that way not having to cut into wiring and having to seal those off individually.

Condom, LOL.

Family forum, balloon. That or use some rubber or nitrile gloves if you have those on hand. See what I did there?

On Wednesday the 10th I put some LED bulbs in the map/ dome light & in the hatch. Literally a night & day difference, especially for the map/ dome.
Also put in a brighter LED for the ash tray, which also helps out a lot.

Cool story I know.

Little updates are still updates.....

Updates without pictures is where you failed.

Update...









Made you look! Haha *sigh*

Way to be....

Actually did stuffs to the car last weekend and this weekend. I would post a true update but I don't want to break the forum.

What?! I made some funnies... The broke forum posted it 4 times, made another funnies & now they're all deleted. THIS IS B.S.!

BUMP

So back on May 2nd (2020 in case thats not clear) got the urge to do something about that nasty tan door card fabric (w/ moms help of course)...







Its not perfect or professional but it works


Then on May 9th I decided to change the oil (had 174,651miles), since the last I did it was October 2018 when I resealed the oil pan. AND its not leaking! While there I adjusted the E-brake & rotated the tires (found one rim was slightly bent, but I'm just gonna send it).

The old turd cleans up well...






Yesterday went out for a cruise w/ a friend that I havent seen face to face in 4+ months thanks to "self-quarantine/ stay at home orders" & COVID-19 BULL$HIT.
We did not break any speed limits but lets just say I blew the cob-webs out & there now should be less carbon build-up on engine componets.
