My name is Jose and i have been a member for about a year now so i decided to talk and show hows my progress goes with my celica. So i purchased my Celica back in 2010 i fell in love with Celicas since the first time i knew about them and i started my research from engine types to model years. while i was looking at Celicas i came across one that was a 95 beige one but it was too expensive at that time and i needed to trade my old car and give the rest in cash, so i kept searching until i saw this add on the internet:
[ So i went to see it with my uncles and we tried it and instantly i fell in love with it but at that time i didn't know much about it or where it came from. here are some pics of my celica first day at my house: I will be posting more info and pics.

The radiators are notorious for cracking due to age, so maybe you lucked out and that's it. If it were the fans it would've taken some time for it to overheat and you would've noticed the temp climbing. When mine cracked there was a large amount of steam and the temp gauge indicated it was overheating, even though I know it didn't because it happened when the car wasn't even running and I was listening to the radio. It sounds like coolant found its way into the fuse and relay boxes, will just have to check things out with a multimeter.

Yeah it was really weird tho since it was working fine the day before that. with our Celicas Age is a problem. I mean it did took time for it to overheat because i left my house as usual and once i got near the city temperature raised quickly i put on the air to cool it down thats where i noticed that the fans where not moving at all. We put down the temp and turn it off once we started it again thats when smoke came out the fuse and relay boxes. This post has been edited by JosephST575: Feb 26, 2015 - 2:14 AM |
