It's been awhile since I posted here, but as always, 6gc.net is a great place to be.
 I think I'm into my 7th or 8th month of searching for a Celica, and have certainly let a few good ones by. (Two that come to mind are a '94 GT-FOUR with 226k km on the clock for the price of a normal celica, and a white '98 SX with 19 000 km on the clock). Anyways, I was wondering if there was any common or recurring faults on the 6th gen that I should look out for? Any help is greatly appreciated. --------------------  |

Honestly, No. I havent come across a recurring problem in everyones Celica.
And how dare you allow an ST205 to slip through your fingers. Sinner. -------------------- |

the starter is pretty common. Other than that, no much else just normal wear and tear (brakes, tires, ect.)

Only thing i can think of would be burning oil, most cars do, but seems the celi burns a lil more.

i've had reaccuring events with my power steering... or that just might be me? and a few other small problems. no oil burn yet
-------------------- the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

power steering squeal when cold out. it's annoying and it makes you feel ghetto when it happens infront of a hottie.

ST205 has a couple of things you need to beware of.
Check my webpage for details. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |

If you have oil coming out your vent you probably have a leak somewhere, I doubt your burning it.
I thought I was burning oil but it ended up I had the front main seal leaking, as well as the rear main seal. Now I go through almost no oil at all. |

Actually I think the biggest problem that most celica owners here complain about is it just isn't fast enough
