6G Celicas Forums

After being a member of the board for years, I finally decided that my dd was on her last leg and it was time to pick up another one. So I found this little gem on craigslist...







I just took some pics of the full stable, I just need them to load up to photobucket.

Here are the ones I just took....

Looks really clean. Did they offer a warranty?

Lets see under that hood!

Dam,how much was she,and dam if the rk is that loud on a video it has to be horrible in person..great looking car though!!!

Looks familiar, minus the alloys. Congratulations, save for your engine problem...

Thanks guys!

Unfortunately, I bought her 'as is' so I'm basically screwed on the whole motor situation... But yea. The knock is definitely louder in person than in the vid... It's alright though, I just picked up a freshly rebuilt 5s from celicatech and I'll be dropping it in this week.

I'm actually about to head down to Ohio for DSM Shootout, but when I get back I'll be posting up some more pics of the motor thats in her now, as well as the beats...

5TH GEN! 5TH GEN! 5TH GEN! haha, sorry.

OooOoOoouuUuu! She is sooooooooooo clean! Hope you are happy with her, I mean, you were a members for years and finally decide on one. So you better stick around. She will take good care of you, trust in that.

Why not just upgrade to a 3S-GTE if the motor has to be thrown out anyway?

sounds like a lawnmover... thats too bad

heard some flies on the video too

Well... I just got back from Ohio and as promised, here are the pics

Motor:





Custom painted heat shield and valve cover...




Boosted: lmao the 5g is my original love.... Its taken me a little bit to warm up to the 6g (sorry folks)

Stranger: I know that once a finish the 'heart transplant' she'll be very reliable... That was what sold me on her............... NO RUST!!!!

Ferdi: I've already got a 3s powered car, now I need something with some decent gas milage. Rest assured though, I have almost everything I need for a 5SFTE minus engine management.

njccmd2002: I didn't realize that was in the vid until later lmao

~~~EDIT~~~

Here are some pics of the sounds in case any of you are interested...

Man nice car in and out but without that knocking that car would be cherry P.S. hey give pics after you swap engine I would like to see it.

I got the motor out a 4:00pm this afternoon





Hood on the 90 GTS parts car...


Mileage (for documentation's sake)


Up....


Up.......


And OUT!


Just hanging around...




New motor.....


Dirty oil (I couldn't see any chunks come out of it....)


I tried to get both motors and the car in one shot.... lol


Hopefully the new motor will be going in by the end of the week. *crosses fingers*

Your front is IDENTICAL to mine.

Good luck with the swap!

Wow, looks neat !

I'm liking the valve cover and heat shield on the old motor. You swapping those onto the new one?

Thanks guys...

I will be putting my old VC and the heat shield on the new motor. I really like how they turned out, so I'm going to keep it. It beats having a plain engine bay...

I just got home from the pole barn and I think that I made some decent progress for working by myself...

I:

Removed the harness from the old motor and installed on the new one.
Replaced the throttle body.
Pulled the tranny, clutch and flywheel.
Swapped injectors (the rail is different from the 92 'vert rail)
And moved the AC compressor and PS pump to the new motor.

Overall, I think that it was a good night's work!

Motor's in! Unfortunately, I'm hung up on getting a new fuel filter. I went to every parts store in the county and no one had a fuel filter for the car.... Unbelievable!

Anyway, here are some progress pics. These were taken Friday night....







I'll get some carnage pics up tomorrow, but the rod bearing in cylinder 1 grenaded. There's shrapnel laying at the bottom of my oil pan...


Just a little closer....


A little more....

lol I was going to buy this same car
