The 5th gen renegade! Options

[Syaoran]

Hey what's up everyone?

I bought myself a 5th gen Celica 5s-fe manual a couple of months ago in pretty good condition. It's been driven hard for sure but it doesn't feel like it engine-wise.

This is one of the few active forums left for Celicas... is it a bad thing that I'm on here and I'm a 5th gen owner?

Check your clearance for the TMIC. The 3S-GTE has a lower valve cover than the 5S that allows for it to sit above. The factory one may not fit above the 5S or have room to move with the engine.

Once I realized that might've been the case, I decided I'll just go FMIC. It's better anyways, cooling-wise.

@Spolski: Already got my manifold. No longer getting either a CT-26 nor 2bar 3sgte MAP sensor.


I should update the first post...

Not a huge fan of the painted cf. There's an alltrac down my street that had the cf trims painted to match the car and it looked horrible.

Painted CF trims? You mean the front bar that comes black stock?

The whole car was painted the same color. I actually like it better than painted black like it comes stock.

When the headlights are down, stock 5th gen looks like this:



And when they're up, it looks like it has a moustache... lol
