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 -jec

got to put in a couple hours tonight before i had to pack up since i head out in the morning . got the wiring harness off and all the brackets holding the tranny to the block. all i have thats left is to lift it up so i can remove the transmission and get the motor on my stand.
also my radiator sprung a leak from a hairline crack in the plasic top. so it looks like i'm ordering a new rad. advanced has a replacement like oem with plastic tops for 80 bucks or an all aluminum one for 100. the plastic has served well for the last 160k miles and 20 years so i dont doubt its sufficent to do the job but i'm inclined to go the all aluminum for 20 bucks more just to have it. anyone have any experience on these units? -------------------- JN 3:16
