Since many Celicas are advancing their mileage after all these years, what mechanical failures have you had and at what mileage did you have that failure. Were you stranded while traveling? I am planning some rather long trips cross country and want to be prepared for anticipated failures!

I spent my money on wild women, partying, gambling,
expensive timepieces, and my 6GC - the rest of it I wasted!

My old Celica had almost 300,000 miles on it before I decided to part and get a new body. Went on a 2,600 mile trip around NYE in 2013/14 when she was down around 260,000 or so and had no major problems. Only two minor things were the mudflap broke on the drivers rear from the rot there and the water temp wire broke so that freaked me out. Otherwise she was running really strong with no issues.

On my current one, I had the waterpump go on me during a track day, but I had never replaced anything since I bought her so I had a feeling something was going to give laugh.gif
If you keep up on general maintenance then you'll more than likely be golden.
