QUOTE (MisterRay @ Jun 25, 2014 - 9:07 PM)  i've checked that. according to that it should technically fit fine. the arches are only rolled because of flush fitment. il see if any one on here has it without rolling arches. u got clutch-knee? think every car has given me that lol go for an automatic if it causes too much of an issue. not as fun as a manual though. assuming you are looking for 2005+ stangs All else fails just make it fit. I have bad knees, they're knotted and like to give out and swell up from time to time. My left knee is the worst off, go figure. I've considered an automatic, but having a manual is the difference in enjoying driving and despising it. Driving an auto is akin to being the passenger for me, I have no interest in it and could care less and get bored. If I get a car I can float the gears on it doesn't really matter as much as I could do that on the bad days. The Celica's second and third gear synchronizers were screwed up so I couldn't get it to do it on them, and I always went from third to fifth anyway.

today I got a quote for gearbox and clutch recon n replace. also gettin the clutch pedal a lot lower. quote was £525/$900 including vat. but I'm going to pay in cash so hopefully knock off about £70/80 quid. although I'm thinking of just selling the car now and buying a 7gen

QUOTE (MisterRay @ Jun 26, 2014 - 6:08 PM) Have to agree with clevelandgiant (sorry don't know names lol) but a Honda is a good way to go still. especially if you are modding some stuff. integra is something easy to worth with but you shud go for the crx box. clevelandgiant did you install the dials? I don't see how they wud slide on without taking needles off. I'm going to give it a go this weekend though Im gonna do the gauge faces this weekend. Hopefully its not a P.I.T.A. Plus gotta install my sideskirts on the vert and install a complete new audio system, just been waiting for a weekend off to get alot done. |

Yes the front bumper is a direct swap. The fogs you'll have to swap the switch, relay, etc...

Purchased 3 k&n oil filters and 1 OEM fuel filter of eBay. All for $4. Me and my bro both each got $15 coupon from eBay and he didn't want his so I might as well use it on my car. Have to say it was a good day. Lol.

The 7GC is a good car, especially in GT-S trim. Just terribly cheap interior is a turnoff for me. Being you're in the U.K. why don't you get a SS-III or GT-Four?

I've thought about the gt4 but it's very hard to find one in good condition. the ones that are in good condition cost £5k+ and I could get a 7gc GT spec (found mainly in eu) the t sport gives me more mileage and cheaper insurance while still being able to give some1 a run for their money when needed lol -------------------- "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

More and more I'm thinking that I'll slowly rebuild the Celica for stock performance. and in a couple of years once I can get a Second car I'll get a mid '90s MR2 and make that the hot rod, the Celica will be the daily grocery getter. nothing handles like mid-engine rwd.

Sorta like how nothing handles like FR, FF, or AWD.

The Megan Racing short throw you can get on eBay is quite good for the money.

Get the 7th gen Celica one though. The 6th gen one is considerably more expensive.
