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 back in town for jury duty tomarrow morning. It did give me a few hours after church to plug away on the motor though. finally got it off the trailer (with my tractor) and removed the tranny, clutch and pressure plate.I also took off the ac compressor, ps pump , alt, and the brackets holding them all on. I have a couple of bolts on the flywheel that are just about rounded off. i was gonna weld a nut onto the head of the bolt and try that, unless anyone has any better ideas

aside from that i started putting some if the other stuff back together

a little cleaning , paint and some steel braided lines for the turbo




cleaned out the TB real good with carb cleaner then got that misc sensors and brackets back on the intake manifold.



a quick pic of some of the stuff ready to go once the motor is ready



i wanted to get a pic of the of my tractor engine hoist putting the motor on the stand, but my phone died as i was snapping the above pics.also My radiator arrived too so i'm gonna need to get that in once i have all these parts moved up far enough to fit my car in the shop.


also just a random pic of the car from earlier
