6G Celicas Forums

So I'm going to try and make a fairly long story short, but above is how my connection with my Celica ended.

This past winter brought loads of problems after a fairly eventful summer, and that headlight project I was going to try and pull through on. Unfortunately, I was in and out of work until recently, so I was never able to get a start on that, but eventually I'll sell one set of custom headlights to some lucky person here - but don't hold your breath.

To make things short, as I mentioned, winter brought a slew of problems, tires needing replacement, several check engine lights (a few o2 sensors in my exhaust), mishaps involving black ice and curbs, and just general problems, no matter how hard I tried to be careful. My driver's side CV joint was on it's way out, and then finally, a couple weeks ago, my hood latch failed on the highway, see above, and caused almost $5,000 in damage - insurance totaled the car, but I've retained it to part it out - I have too much valuable stuff on it to just let it go for about half that price. So without further ado, here's how I plan on running this:

• No items will be held without a deposit - all deposits are 100% refundable.
• I will check in on this about three days a week, if not more often - I work four out of seven days a week and my schedule is rather packed on those days, so please bear with me.
• First come, first serve, unless...
• ...two or more people want the same item and have all sent me PMs around the same time, I'll manage bidding between the parties. Bidding will take the fashion of a "maximum bid gets it right away", so I don't have to banter back and forth and the price of an item doesn't skyrocket needlessly - it'll simply go to whoever feels it has the most value to them. If I feel you're going to overpay for an item, I'll cut you a break - I'm here to help the community, not make money (although it is nice to have some extra cash around now :]). I will ask all parties what they feel the item in question is worth, and whoever says the most gets it, that simple.
• All prices listed are final unless marked otherwise or you have a close offer to what I'm asking - I'm well aware there're a few things I have no idea what the price of which would go for, so as mentioned, I'll mark it and take offers.
• I have categorized the items into various sections for easiest viewing, starting with the items I would expect to go first...first, and so on and so forth down the line.
• All prices are without shipping unless marked otherwise. For quick discerning, a blue price indicates a value without shipping, a green price includes shipping. International shipping will have to be on a case-by-case basis, I have no experience with shipping items outside the US except to Canada. I may have to charge shipping on items marked "$xx Shipped" on international bids, considering most items marked that way are less than the price of shipping to countries other than Canada.
• I apologize in advance for the terrible lighting, it was overcast today. More pictures can be taken on request.
• All items shipped upon receipt of payment in full, tracking information will be provided as soon as I get home from doing that (approx. 10 mins) - all items pending will ship on the soonest possible day I have free.
• If you want something I haven't listed, ask - everything on the car and in the engine (1.8 7AFE) is good with the exception of the driver's CV joint, the hood, windshield, roof and actual sunroof - the sunroof motor components are a-ok.

Since this is a long post and a lot to sort through and edit, please see my last post (click me!) regarding the status of items FIRST before asking for shipping or proposing to buy an item - someone may have bought it already and I just haven't updated yet, but the last post will ALWAYS be current.

• Item: JDM Headlights - SOLD
• Price: $675 + Shipping
• Notes: These are in absolutely mint condition, not a scratch or blemish. Comes with 12K HIDs in the low beams, I pointed them all the way to the right since I didn't want to do the cutoff modification. Considering these are going for $950+Shipping from RPMGarage, I think this is a fair price. Throw in an extra $5 for the stock H1 bulbs if you like (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0728.jpg [Never used]) and they're yours.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0703.jpg

• Item: JDM Tail Lights - SOLD
• Price: $140 + Shipping
• Notes: Again, also in mint condition without a scratch or blemish - I bought these for over $200 last summer. Comes with JDM Harnesses!

• Item: 7A-FE Cold Air Intake
• Price: $80 + Shipping
• Notes: I have no idea what this is actually worth, offers are welcome. I will do my research if I suspect you're giving me a low blow. Make on the filter says "Predator". It's dirty here, will be cleaned up before going - I gave it a red finish before the winter, it's held up great.

• Item: Vincent's Door Sills
• Price: $80+Shipping (Conditional)
• Notes:

The weather stripping is missing partially on each of these, and a couple areas on the driver side sill have been scuffed by my door cards. These are yours for $80+Shipping as is, or for an extra $10, I'll mask off the lightup area and give them a nice chrome refinish. Comes with enough wiring to make it work, I lost some behind the dash taking these out. Includes the epicenter, and my stock door sills that I stuck them to as well.

• Item: Vincent's Floor Mats (Red Trim, Used)
• Price: $60 + Shipping
• Notes: The rear ones are in like-new condition, I think feet may have been on them literally two or three times. The driver's side one is worn from my feet and a manual car, the passenger one is in decent condition.

• Item: Vincent's Smoked Gas Door
• Price: $45 + Shipping
• Notes: The rod and bolts are rusty, and there's a long but faint scratch or smear on the door. I can replace them for $10 extra, but the door won't open on it's own without a replacement rod. I used a long keychain to hold the gas door latch open and pull it open by hand. Kind of embarassing aha but it worked while I had to do it.

• Item: TRD Red Stitched Shift Knob - SOLD
• Price: $35 Shipped
• Notes:

It's a little dirty. I can try restoring the red stitching where my hand has faded it with some blue magic cleaner if it pleases you. $35 shipped to you anywhere in the US.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0709.jpg

• Item: Fog Lights w/Brackets - SOLD
• Price: $50 + Shipping
• Notes: Rust free and work great. Got these from a user here who lived in Cali, they've only seen one winter and haven't been affected at all. I can include the relay and multi-function switch (not pictured) for an extra $35.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0710.jpg

• Item: Aftermarket Diamond Clear Turns - SOLD
• Price: $20+ Shipping
• Notes: Includes the screws to mount these - driver's side screw head you have to be careful with though. Push HARD and turn to ensure you don't strip it any more than I did. Also includes the amber bulbs (not pictured) that came with these.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0713.jpg

• Item: Lambo Hinges
• Price: $250 + Shipping
• Notes: The driver's side hinge only seems to want to work occasionally, hence the price on this - the passenger side shock works fine. Driver's side hinge worked great when I got it, then winter decompressed the shock the rest of the way, I'm sure. Bought used from another user here for $350 and has been on the car for less than a year. Again, the driver's side hinge gives assistance lifting the door, but will not hold it unless temps are above 80* (or so it seems.) These will be a hassle to get to because they're holding the doors on, obviously. May be one of the last things to go, but you may put a deposit down on these if you're sure you want them.

Passenger Side:



Opened (In 80*F weather, as mentioned):

• Item: JDM Clear Sides - SOLD
• Price: $25 + Shipping
• Notes:

Never used - my JDM fenders I thought were going to fit were damaged beyond fitment, so I bought these for naught.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0711.jpg

• Item: Center Console w/ Blue Clock - SOLD
• Price: $25 Shipped
• Notes:

It's got a Koni sticker on it, what could be better!? Clock lights up a teal blue, no broken brackets, hazard button works.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0712.jpg

• Item: US Amber Sides
• Price: $15 Shipped
• Notes: Amber sides, they're great!

• Item: Courtesy Lights
• Price: $13 Shipped
• Notes: Don't you love these?

• Item: 25th Anni. No. 027 Rearview Mirror
• Price: $45 Shipped
• Notes: Wanna look like you're a '96 Celica? More specifically, mine? This guy'll do the trick. No idea what the mirror is actually worth.

• Item: Keyring Halo w/Super Bright Red LED - SOLD
• Price: $30 Shipped
• Notes: When I say super bright LED, I mean it. If you look directly at it, you could get spotted vision. Trust me - I had to hardwire this to my cigarette lighter, so it's got two quick-disconnect terminals on the...well, terminals, so you can do the same thing or wire it in properly if your Celica supports it.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0719.jpg

• Item: JVC KD-HDR50 Head Unit - SOLD
• Price: $100 + Shipping
• Notes: Changes color to some ridiculous 256,000 different possibilites using an RGB mixer you set. AUX IN, USB input for iPod with either head unit or iPod control, 50x4 MOSFET power supply, built in custom EQ (sub bass, bass, mid bass, mid, mid high, high), adjustable power levels to sub (0 - +8) built-in HD FM Radio, does FM/AM, bluetooth and satellite available with add-ons, supports subwoofers, pre-wired to the factory wires - comes with a remote with velcro on the back, and I believe I have an extra loop strip with adhesive to stick it to somewhere so you can mount the remote wherever you like. The little black box seen is a ground loop isolator, and is included with your purchase. I love this thing, but it won't be going in my new car.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0718.jpg

• Item: Dual 300W 2 Channel Amp
• Price: $35 Shipped
• Notes:

I ran a 10" subwoofer on this, it's meant to power speakers. Never had an issue with it in three years of using it.

• Item: Alpine Type S Speakers
• Price: $125 + Shipping
• Notes: These sound absolutely fantastic in the car, simply won't distort from my JVC head unit, and they're easy to mount to the stock mounts - a little drilling is all that's required. Still work like they're brand new, and I paid double what I'm asking for them. I cut all bass going to these, so really only the tweeters have been used.

• Item: Hatchback License Plate Bezel
• Price: $25 Shipped
• Notes: Not entirely sure what this goes for. It's black, like my car was - factory finish. No visible blemishes once installed as far as I know.

• Item: Gauge Cluster Bezel
• Price: $17 Shipped
• Notes: It's in good condition.

• Item: GT Gauge Cluster (221K Miles)
• Price: $30 Shipped
• Notes: Stock cluster with 221,202 miles on it. Not the one in my car with 194K and glow gauges in it.

• Item: Celica Fender Badges - SOLD
• Price: $27 Shipped
• Notes: Fender badges in pretty decent condition. I re-painted the dragon a brighter red a long time ago, it's held up pretty well.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0727.jpg

• Item: Passenger & Driver Fender - SOLD
• Price: Driver: $50 + Shipping | Passenger: $30 + Shipping | Both: $67 + Shipping
• Notes: This one I'm kinda peeved at. The driver side fender is the original one, with pinstriping included, 194K in road chips and all that. It was in worse condition than the passenger fender...until today. I walked back to put the front bumper away from shooting pictures, and a small gust of wind took my passenger fender and planted it on the cement, causing some serious chipping. I've got before and after photos for the passenger side one - it doesn't have a pinstripe. I can try masking off the rest of the fender and rattlecan-restoring the chipped edge for an extra $15. (Cost of supplies.) But I warn you, the chips are deep, sanding will be involved, and it probably won't look too great, since I don't have professional tools.

Driver's Side:

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0731.jpg

• Item: 96+ Front Bumper - SOLD
• Price: $125 + Shipping
• Notes: Look at that smiling face, don't you wanna take it home with you? License plate NOT included (Sorry, I need to turn that guy in) - bumper is in relatively good condition, there's a bit of spiderwebbing of the paint due to bumper expansion/contraction. I'm open to offers on this, not sure what it really goes for.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0730.jpg

• Item: Driver's Side OEM Side Skirt - SOLD
• Price: $40 + Shipping
• Notes: The passenger one had a small incident involving a curb, so I don't have pictures of it - it has a small hole in the front corner, and scraping all along the bottom - I'll throw it in for another $15 if you want to take a shot at restoring it. This guy, however is in excellent condition, no visible blemishes and obviously fits perfectly due to it being OEM.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tyshindu/PartOut/CIMG0732.jpg

• Item: Hatchback Rear Bumper - SOLD
• Price: $100 + Shipping
• Notes: The original bumper that came with the car, so it's got it's 194K worth of parking lot taps and whatnot. I can mask off the area and re-prime/paint/clear/sand this since most of the chips aren't too deep, for an extra $25. Other than that, everything is intact and good to mount. Open to offers as I'm not sure what this goes for.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/Tys...ut/CIMG0734.jpg

• Item: Stock Door Hinges
• Price: $60 Shipped
• Notes: All four hinges are here, they all work great, no squeaks, nada.

• Item: Headlight Mounting Brackets
• Price: $17 Shipped
• Notes: The things that keep your headlights aligned properly - triangular in shape, I forget exactly where they go. They're lower in the assembly though. Necessary for proper alignment if yours are bent.

• Item: Vibrant Performance 1.75" -> 2.25" -> 2.5" Exhaust - SOLD
• Price: $400 + Shipping
• Info: This includes a re-assembleable, mandrel bent exhaust - starts at 1.75" for the 4-2-1 header, increases to 2.25" at the Magnaflow laser spun catalytic converter (won't throw your CEL) moves directly to a Vibrant Performance Ultra Quiet Stainless Steel Resonator, 2.25" piping following stock bends all the way back until the Vibrant Performance Stainless Steel Muffler, which increases to a 2.5" opening. Sounds great, gives a solid horsepower increase (Drops ~2 seconds off your 60 if you shift properly) and most importantly is quiet enough not to get you in trouble, unless you go hard on the throttle all the time. I've never been ticketed for it, only pulled over once, and let off - and cops are murderous about that stuff out this way. I paid over $500 for the parts alone, this will come in pieces so that you can re-assemble it and install it yourself in approximately an hour, with basic tools. Exhaust clamps shut the parts that detach from each other. Muffler hangs down at an angle.

• Item: 25th Anniversary Seats - SOLD
• Price: $250 + Shipping
• Notes: I'll have pictures of these as soon as I can, but they're the standard US seat pattern with a blue-purple-yellow twist, and embroidered with the word Celica - they look kinda like the photo below, with less gray.

http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images...60003_large.jpg

• Item: Eibach Sportline Springs/Koni GR2 Struts (Or something similar, not sure of the model of the struts)
• Price: Make me an offer - it'll likely be the last thing to come off the car before I send the shell to the junk yard.
• Notes: Car rides very low with these - you've got maybe 4" clearance. I heard it was a 1" drop from stock - struts are adjustable stiffness. Soft rides great, stiff eliminates all body roll. I'm thinking in the ballpark of $500, but I have no idea what these are actually worth. Been on the car three years.

Im looking for the rubber pieces that go inbetween the strut and spring, at the bottom of the spring.
I need them from the front passenger and driver side, if they are in good shape.
Let me know if you still have them, thanks.
