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 This post has been edited by JasonTX: Mar 24, 2010 - 9:05 AM -------------------- JN 3:16

same model but found mine for 50bucks w/ temp sensor. btw if you get this model i already tested this with a 12 volt powr supply on my bench pink - +12v (autodim and compass/temp power) black - ground light green/black - temp sensor black/white - temp sensor OPTIONAL ----------- yellow - battery(if you get the version with map light) dark green - side mirror defog (need to pull heater strip out of a chevy suburban/ gm truck) dark green - side mirror defog gray - reverse light (will turn off autodim when you backup) also if you dont have the mounting tab use the metal napa one not the plastic ones from autozone/oriley(they will not hold the mirror secure and it'll vibrate as you drive) napa part # 730-2023 good luck -jec This post has been edited by JasonTX: Feb 3, 2012 - 3:46 PM -------------------- JN 3:16
