The car looks good! Glad you finally picked it up. You are going to miss your Cobalt quite a bit when it comes to power and aftermarket support, but the Celica isn't a bad car if you know where to look. For custom tails, if you are good with projects like that...



Just saying....

[mgnt232]

what tails r those?

I've got something in mind that some might say is kinda "ricey" but I think it will look good. It's kinda like supra tail lights but not exactly. I'll edit a picture once I get some good ones taken to sorta show my idea.

Yea the cobalt was a monster on the street, the Celica is kinda tame except the exhaust lol, it's MEAN!!!! I'll get some sound clips sometime over the week of the exhaust. The intake I think could be better, I'll take pics and you guys can tell me if I can do anything for it.

i loveee rice lol get some ideas flotin around

[RockyMountainCel...]

Well, now that I've had some time to drive it I have 2-3 "issues" with the car, if they matter. The brake pedal is a little soft, I'll upgrade the fluids and do a good bleed of the lines and go from there, it still stops and the pedal by no means goes to the floor but getting down there. The clutch engages really high, normal? Overall it shifts very smooth and ZOMG I love it lol. My other issue is that my celica seems to fall on it's face after 5000rpm or so......any ideas? I am wondering if the intake is causing this and if I need to fix/replace it.

[mgnt232]

again like my other post i have a ST, but when i replaced my clutch I had to adjust it so it engaged when it needed too. Not too high not too low. Im sure you have an adjustment, or the clutch just may be a bit old?
free bump for you anyhow

[RockyMountainCel...]

I"ll have to see if I can get it adjusted at somepoint, if not I'll start saving for a clutch job.

[Johnnyny]

first mod is go low!

[mgnt232]

first mod is maintenance ... but low is clean

[richee3]

what tails r those?

Aston Martin DB7.

It's normal for the clutch to engage that high. I've always hated driving manual GM's specifically because of their clutches. The 2.2 liter 5S-FE just sucks after 5,000 rpm. The solution is to shift before you get there and keep the car in the power. As for the brakes, that's definitely something you need to look into. Every 6gc I've ever driven has a good firm pedal.

Here are the good pics and also a quick exhaust vid, it's a bit raspy but I like it

[mgnt232]

nice, is that exhaust rllllly loud? or does it just sound it?

[RockyMountainCel...]

I just noticed something in one of my pics that isn't right............i'm going to go secure that cap right now but what is that for?
