New Celica Options

[wadeos]

Yesterday i brought my self a 1994 gt four which has done 198kms, drives well apart from when its going over rough surfaces eg a gravel driveway the driver side front suspension knocks and the front radiator fans go are quite loud even when the engines cold. The celica has the doors with the 3 speakers and i haven't seen too many celica's like that. Which celica's came with the 3 speaker doors ?

Photos to come.. (:

You're car loos very nice man! and welcome to the forum!

P.S. Definitely look into getting some JDM Tails

Thanks, im planning on getting some jdm tails and some projectors

pull your intake hose off and try to wiggle the compressor back and forth and side to side.... it should only have like 1mm of give at the most either way

i didnt do this when i bought my gt4, it was my 1st turbo aswell... 1 week later i smoked some hsv V8 holden in the mountains and came out with a blown turbo lol, the whole thing was junk after that, had to get a new one, housing and all.


if theres any shaft play in ur turbo get it rebuilt right away before u do some serious damage... also make sure ur running good oil and change every 5000kms as bad oil clogs the oil feed galleries to the turbo causing premature bearing wear.

i got the bc coilovers for $1300 but i wouldnt recommend them because of the work required to install them, and the front doesnt go much lower ... (the engineer wont certify them if u weld into the cast piece so u need to leave about 15mm of the steel tube and send it for crack testing, because of that extra 15mm, even on the lowest setting u cant slam it)

i recommend teins but they are like $3500 or something.... these are damn expensive cars

I can't check for turbo shaft play at the moment as my engines a bit hot..
The car had a service the day i purchased it so all the oil should be good.

The engine seems to smoke a bit when boosting ?

I'm not planning on slamming the car, i would just like it a bit lower.
