6G Celicas Forums

so i took the knuckle off the celi yesterday and dropped it off down the road to get the new wheel bearing pressed into the hub and this is what i found..



it seems like the bearing was grinding away at the shaft on the hub and now the outter race sits lose instead of being tight like it should. has anyone else had this happen to them before?
im going to order a new hub from toyota tomorrow unless anyone else sees another solution to this lol.. if its not one thing its another.. just read my sig

once this is fixed im more then likely going to take it off the road and start saving up for the rest of the suspension maintence, which is why i just bought this tonight..



my new winter beater since my brother is going to take the neon for his first car, its a 96 ranger

Happens from driving too long on a bad bearing.. I've been there twice..

thats what i figured, its the first time ive had to replace the bearing so i wasnt 100% sure. im pickin up a new hub tomorrow from toyota and going to get the bearing pressed in and put it back together at the house.

Cars running good right now, no problems with the new hub and bearing. drivin the 3s during my first fall season is alot of fun, with that big IC suckin in all that cold air the thing comes to live quitr nicely to say the least

i got a sticker for it today before i put it away for the winter, probably going to put the truck on the road sometime next week or so. i put to much time into this car that i dont wanna meet a snow bank even tho i kno the car can handle it. excited about the truck tho

also took my gauge cluster for the first time today to pull out the abs bulb so i can pass my inspection ha. while i was in there i took the clear plastic cover off and cleaned it up a bit, came out pretty good.

havent updated in a while, been really busy with school and work havent had anytime to play with the car. car is off the road tho and in the garage for the winter.
im in the process of clearing out a space at my grandfathers barn to store it there since my dad is working out of the garage.

few weeks back i picked a parts car, 96 st limited edition. i bought the limited edition seats (only passenger and rears, someone took the drivers one already) the black carpet (mines tan) 2 post hatch spoiler, headlights, and a hood and gunna play around with the celi this winter and change it up a bit. ive been thinkin about just buying a single racing seat for the drivers side to offset the missing drivers seat to the set. if anyone has a limited edition seat they wanna part way let me kno!

ill post pics later,

have a happy thanksgiving guys!

Let us know how you like the water injection man! I'm contemplating running this myself. I also want to copy your intercooler piping! I love it!

Thanks man, Manny did my piping for me, its a good route and flows well, no real sharp angles just smooth bends. i might have it re-done with better quality piping.

the Devils Own has had good reports in the past with these motors, but ill post up my results when its going.

been doing some work to the celi the past few days, want to get her on the road soon but theres work to be done!

first, my version of the Toms style cluster


installed with the new 7th gen steering wheel


started the Devils Own install, ran the lines from the trunk to the bay, the lines fit perfect in the pastic peice under the carpet




also mounted the tank in the trunk and made a bracket to go with it




i also installed a apexi turbo timer that i picked up cheap, plug and play.. more to come

DO WANT!

If you need a hand with any of the wiring, I'm right around the corner haha

I cant wait to have this thing hooked up when i get her on the road. i picked the kit up off a member a a few summers ago and came with the adjustable pressure switch that i want to replace with the digital progressive adjustable controller. cars going to be fun with the meth kit lol.

i should have some pics up tomorrow of another project ive been workin on to go in the celi

trunks done for now, i wont be wiring up the pump until i order the new controller for it.




next is cleaning up the seats and carpet, wait til you guys see how they come out hehe

Alright so i finished my interior during this spring break like i wanted to today, came out great!

saturday i took out the tan head liner and painted it gray to help go with my refirbished Limited Edition seats that i painted with an interior paint.

Gray headliner


flash makes the liner look lighter then what it is, it looks darker in person



black rug before paint


rug painted and installed


cant find the before pics of the seats but this gives an idea how faded they were



seats after




what was left of the old setup lol i started to tear it down months ago


gutted



rug installed


rear seats


passenger


done




im more then happy with the way this interior came out, it looks 10x better in person because the seats really pop after repainting the black trim after a good wash. the rug and headliner change the whole feel of the car from a drivers stand point, as well as the 7th gen wheel and jdm style cluster, i cant wait to driver her daily again!

beautiful work! everything looks great. I love those seats.
mine's limited edition but I didn't get the seats.

she's coming along nicely, Cam!

thanks Alex, hoping to have it repainted and ont the road by the end of the month. time will tell.

front and rear pads and rotors came in today, as well as my new inner and outter tie rods.

update, installed my front poly sway bar bushings today and st185 endlinks, torque steer reduced dramatically. very pleased!
