i've always been an admirer of this gen celica and toyotas in general. i have a 91 turbo mr2 and after selling my 93 alltrac i thought another daily would be nice. i dont really know much about the 5s motor. but after some research and about a half year of looking for a 6gc i finally found one.so last friday and made the couple hundred mile trip from houston to austin and back to bring it home. its a black 94 GT hatchback. the car had been in storage for 2 years but after a battery change and a fresh tank of gas it started right up and made it all the way home without a hickup. My primary purpose for the celica is to have a comfortable, sporty looking and reliable car i enjoy driving. thus far i'm not dissapointd its smoother and quieter than any of my previous vehicles, plus more fuel efficent and after the tune up i can determine nothing wrong with the motor.


i've talkd to many on the forums while searching for my car and options for it, and am glad to have found a place where so many enthusiasts are willing to offer their advice and share their knowledge.like many others here i wanted to start cataloging my progress. both to se how far my car has come and to try and offer something back to the community

so thanks to everyone who has helped me out. feel free to comment or offer suggestions and pics and writeups of my progress will be coming soon

peace

well its been a while since i've really been able to work on the cars. But recently i've been really motivated to work on the celica again so i thought i'de share. also mods could prolly move this thread to the project section if anyone sees this. As always, sorry for the terrible phone pics


had this sitting in my shed for a while now so i descided to get it on the trailer and into the shop. a couple of months ago


but then got sent to chicago for work so it sat. untill this evening when i got back


my dinky hoist cant lift this with the tranny attached and my other bay has the rav in it so i cant use the beam and chain puller. If the tractor fit in the shop i could lift it and drive the trailer out but for now it looks like i'm gonna have to work in the trailer



petty happy i got to spend a couple of hours on it,(even though most was tring to figure out how to get it on the engine stand) but i did get the intercooler heatshields. and exhaust side brackets,manifold and turbo off the motor






no way it'll be ready to drop in before the meet this weekend. but i am excited i got the time off and can spend thanksgiving with the family. and catch the tx celica meeton sat
