Requested info on rear leather seats if you are willing to part those and would like to get cost if you're interested in selling them separately! Thanks! PMED U!

Still looking for an answer to my question above...

Is the washer pump and the wiper motors the same on the US models and the JDM models?

Pictures plz!

Never mind.. I took a hammer to it and it just needed more force than I was giving it. Just didnt want to damage anything...

So I ran into an issue. Im trying to change the wheel bearing on the front driver side of my 6GC... And I cannot remove the upper ball joint. I think that it might be seized.. Does anyone know of a good way to take it off of the hub assembly? I sprayed it with some WD40 to loosen it, but I don't think that it is going to help.

HELP please!

So some updates as I go. I have been trying to find time to actually lay the fibreglass into the molds. This is what I have so far. It doesnt look too bad for a first timer.




Now I'm having a hard time removing the tape from the half enclosure... Any suggestions... I'm thinking a blade and some patience... I figured a sander would help but the adhesive from the pate would just gum the sand paper all up and render it useless...

At this point all I am doing is strengthening the box enclosure so that there is minimal vibration. Once I figure out how to get all the tape off, I need to start to place the mounting points to the car and for the 10" sub mounts.

I unpacked my subs as well just to see how beautiful they are, and boy are they a beaut!!!

Hey the dash kit I actually found on E-Bay. I was just looking and really gave up on looking for new dash kits or dials. I had purchased SPREE's led kit and all though it was nice, it just didn't do justice for me. I really wanted to spiffy up the dash to make it look modern. Anyways, I have attached the link so that other people can get this!!!

As for the hood dampers, I also got those from E-Bay and I was lucky that I found carbon fibre ones... They fit perfectly, however I am thinking of getting a carbon fibre hood (due to hail damage) and well.. I think that the dampers may be too strong, if I use them I'll end up folding the carbon fibre hood in half when I try to close it. We'll see. I tried to find the link for the hood dampers... however I was unsuccessful. Sorry!!

Anyways, some have asked me to add some more to my progression... As you all know, I just purchased some awesome JL Audio TW3 10" subs and want to put them in. Some may say that I am a copy cat, but I give much credit to LED-BOY's progression thread where he did the sound system for his wife. It has given me inspiration and I really liked the factory look of the final product. Here is what I have so far:




This is what I started off with, but just didn't look right... So I had to go back to LED-BOY's thread and well, I had to start again... I did some cutting with a dremel and made more space to work with:




Then I used a thinner box as it was easier to work with and contour the edges:




After all the box was lined, I then sealed all the corners with masking tape and now I'm ready to start applying resin and fibreglass:




Cant wait until I start laying fibreglass down and things start to take shape. Ill post more as I go!!!

So it has been some time since I've worked on by 6GC... I just thought I would throw on a few more progression pictures.

I just installed a new dash kit by Lockwood...:



Also just got a new addition and project to work on. I was inspired by LED_BOY:

Good day forums!

Does anyone by chance have a 6th Gen "Zenki" model GT Four (a GT Four manufactured from February 1994 to November 1997), of which they have removed the front wheel bearings that they could take pictures of using a tape measurer so that I can get the measurements to order a front wheel bearing kit?

I do not have the tools readily available to remove my wheel bearings (slide hammer, time, etc..)

I am looking to order a genuine set from a site and they need the measurements...

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance!

Thanks man... I actually ordered a set from www.id-workz.co.uk... I am also looking to order a set of wheel bearing kits as well for my front wheels, however ran into an issue where they needed the measurements of my front wheel bearings. Since I really don't have the option of removing my front wheel bearings at this time they cancelled my order as they didn't want to send me the wrong set. Apparently the Zenki model ST205 has different wheel bearings than the Kouki model.

So ran into an issue where some garbage came up into the wheel well of my car and wrapped around the front inner cv boot and well tore it up completely. I was hoping someone could tell me whether the USDM ST202 front inner cv boot and the st205 front inner cv boot are the same. If they are, then I won't need to search as hard.

Looking for answers ASAP!

Thanks in advance!

Bc racing apparently has a model built for the super strut and looks like welding is required. Ksport also has one.

Ksport Kontrol Pro
Welding also required

Price tag is $1,050 USD

Just found another site that has the ksport coil overs ready for sale with the superstrut...
Superstrut

Well....lol yup its gonna sit for a little bit so that I can find the right part... However we are going to try to contact NSK who is the original manufacturer of the wheel bearing. We have the original part number so I think that we will be able to track down a cheaper alternative than having to go to TCBPARTS and have expensive shipping from the UK.

Once I have a solution to this issue, I will share for all!!!! Till then stay tuned! (No pun intended lol)

So it looks like I ran into a problem. I am at the shop right now working on the car. We've pulled out the old bearing, and the new bearing that I purchased for the Toyota Celica is not the same... It is smaller than the original. I need a new wheel bearing for the front passenger side of a 1994 Toyota Celica GT4 with the superstrut suspension. Can anyone help?

Just some fun with the camera...

Is this similar to the ones made by rayme?

I know! I've been looking for a set of those replacement clears, but much to my dismay I can't find them. They're too rare! Someone has to bring them back!

In the meanwhile ill have to revert back to the drawing board on how I'm going to sand down my headlights..

They can be... But I have it down to an art now... Ive done 3 sets of headlights so far.

On another Note.... Here was what I helped my buddy with while I was working on my headlights. TTE = Toyota Team Edmonton (Hahaha j/k)

MOAR UPDATES YOU SAY! OKAY!!!

Anyways.. I started working on some aesthetics cause well... I feel as though I need to update the look of my baby more. Anyways, the JDM headlights are a GREAT addition to the 6GC, however, it just seems too generic... I guess you can guess what I have been working on. Anyways, here are some pics of my current project:

First I took apart my old headlights:


Then I got myself a set of these beautiful things... Motimoto H1 Retrofit Projectors courtesy of Lightwerkz!


I then took a "dremel" tool and cleaned out the inside "stump" as I would call it that holds the old halogen lamp in place.


Then I sanded the inside of the reflector housing and did some fitting to see how everything would look... Doesn't look too bad in my opinion.



My next job was to prime, paint, and then clear-coat the reflector housing and the reflector accent a nice modern black.


After much toil, I put everything back together to see what it would look like and WOW... What a beauty!


Only thing left to do is to find a place where I can take the original headlight lenses and sand them down to make them clear cause as they are right now... Well, lets just say the projector beam will blind a lot of people lol. I can't wait to finish that last piece of the puzzle and install my new headlights!

If any of you guys know where I can get clear lenses for my headlights, it would really save me a lot of time. Otherwise I will have to wait until, like I said, I can find a place that will be able to "de-line" my current lenses.

Hello. I ran into this same problem UNTIL... here is the topic that will really help you out!

Thank you Tigawoods! You totally made my day!

Thank you BonzaiCelica! This will definitely save me a lot of money!

Hey everyone!

I need your help once again... I am looking for a new wheel bearing and I have checked the TCBparts.com website... It looks as though the Toyota Celica GT Four uses the same hub flange as the USDM ST202. How I know this you ask... Well the part number for the hub flange on the GT Four shares the exact same part number as the ST202 in America... I assume that this means that it is the same... now before I sound like an ass (to assume means to make an ass out of u and me... ASS-U-ME) I wanted to make sure I was not getting the wrong information.

Anyways does this mean that they can use the same wheel bearing?

Please share your thoughts! It will be greatly appreciated in saving me quite a lot of shipping fees and other costs related!

(I am sorry to the moderators as I made another thread regarding this. I should have checked this one first to post here... If you would like to delete the additional thread that I had made, please do so. I will not make this mistake again...)

I am sure that this issue, once resolved will help many of the 6gc owners out there who have purchased the GT Four in Canada/US can benefit from this by saving a few bucks.

So we have confirmations that all 6GC's use the same wheel bearings. I hope that this helps a lot of 6GC owners out there. You may refer to BonzaiCelica's post Here
