hey guys my names David picked up a celica two months ago and have been restoring it in my back yard lol its a 1994 6gen st i bought the celica for 3 hundred but it needs some work the front bumper was a vader bumper that wasn't in the greatest shape all cracked and the fenders were drilled in with screws to hold the bumper the fender the same thing so i basically had to get anew front end and skirts
the interior was put all dissembled so yeah had a lot of work cut out for me but got lucky that my brother had a celica before so hes been helping me out put it together its coming along nicely plans for the car gt four conversion its going to be my daily car but then i want to also be able to do some auto x with it as well probably gonna turbo in the future because i know a swap into a st is pretty hard and expensive and im still in college and on a buget |

Will have to get some pictures up when you can. They're nice handling cars with some aftermarket suspension bits and good tires. There are a few members here that autocross their Celica and could point you in the right direction.

Two words stand out...
Colllege..... Budget.... Enjoy your st engine. Swap or turbo is not for a budget person. Seriously -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Seriously I will have to agree as well. and I STILL have my ST engine. I do quite enjoy it now that i've got most of the suspension redone. I will always suggest that you start out with upgrading the suspension (springs/struts or coilovers, endlinks, sway bars, strut bars, brakes, rims etc.) makes the car alot more fun to drive and enjoy. --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

As far as the transmission goes I'd make sure the clutch is fully disengaging first and if that checks out you can try draining the trans and filling it with SynchroMesh, more often than not it helps and some say it got rid of any and all grinding. Just depends on how much damage has been done and how responsible the current oil is for the issue.

Ive seen too many owners simply trading to other high performance cars simply for this. Putting 3k on a 1k car is not practical for everyone but a few. Hence my comment. Tining mk6 celica is not cheap either. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

any updates on this?
having a Celica ST I can honestly say springs and shocks from a convertible with sticky tires and a 6 puck unsprung clutch was very fun in the AUTO X world. |
