6G Celicas Forums

Rare. There is maybe 5 in my city, another 5 probably in the rest of the province. I have seen a really nice gt4 driving around. Other than that, mine is the cleanest 6gc.

For looks, sounds, and butt dyno perfomance. SRI > CAI > stocker...

Any tubing with a smooth inside will have better air flow than stock rippled tubing, dat turbulence. SRI will suck in hot air, If you made a hot air shield box, or mod your stocker box to work with the SRI. That would be your best option. Cold air intakes are just that. And whats the point of getting a car to mod if your going to leave the stock air box in?? midaswell leave your wheels stock and your muffler stock too because that's how Toyota designed it!!

OP, does the starter kick in? does it make the whirl sound, or the chug chug wants to turn over sound?

So to start. I have a 94 st. Exhaust and a short ram intake.

I let my car hibernate over winter, took preventative measures for its long sleep. fresh oil change, fuel additives. except! i didn't take the battery out. So as you can guess over winter, the battery was super toast. no biggie.

So this spring, I decided to bring er back to life and get er back on the road. This is where I run into some problems...

Knowing the battery was done, I still tried to boost it and see if shell fire up. no dice. I try maybe 6 times boosting it with my truck, nothing. Just the starter is trying to turn the engine over. When the car was hooked up to the truck, the lights would come on for a second and turn off. like all the lights. No radio, no power doors or windows. Weird. I just thought the batt was giving me hassles. OK, to the store I went.. The batt wasn't holding a charge at all, but wasn't frozen so i got warranty on the batt. sweet.

Go home, hooked dat shhee up and still nothing. Just the starter is kicking in with no power to anything else. super weird...I was beggining to think I had a fuel delivery problem or a no spark problem. It couldn't be though because before I parked it, it ran flawlessly. I do some research that leads me to check my fuses. Sure enough first one I notice is the 100amp alt fuse. Lets change that out. What a pain in the behind. YOU CAN"T JUST PULL THAT FUSE OUT!!! so I take the fuse panel apart (you will break things, but nothing important. Or I did it wrong) and figure out you need to unscrew the fuse from the bottom... after fiddling with that, success. alt fuse fixed. Tried to start the car, still nothing...

Ok, so I poke around at the other fuses, my EFI fuse was toast, changed that out. boom! She fired right up.. great!! But that still doesn't fix my lights, and radio problem..

To be more specific I guess, the radio wont turn on at all, neither will the clock. Gauges light up, climate control lights up. My head lights do turn on, but only my high beams are locked on, no matter where the switch is. The tail lights are still fully functional. Windows and doors are working now. The dome light also doesn't work.. I do some more internet searching...


I do another round of pulling fuses. I find out, Radio no.1 fuse was blown. changed that, still no radio. Cig&Rad fuse in the car is still good. wtf.. All of the fuses in the car are good, and out side the car seem to be good...I do some more internet browsing and come to the conclusion, the dome light is intertwined with a bunch of electronics. So sure enough, the dome fuse was blown. Changed that out, boom! I HAVE LIGHTS!!! everything is working and back to normal again! except the radio...

I didn't know this but there is a fuse inside them aftermarket head units, which i have. I took apart the dash console what ever, changed the fuse in the radio and I now have my radio back. YEY!

My verdict. or TL;DR

While boosting the car with no battery, I must have powered everything to much and blown a bunch of fuses.. Replaced in order ALT > EFI > RADIO no.1 > DOME > Head Unit Fuse... check yourself before you wreak yourself.

Hopefully, when the right person reads this, it will help them out...

I can't wait to see the final product. I've been holding onto my celi for a future rwd set up. one day I will have a driftable 6GC... Good luck OP!!

WOW. Good work! Love every bit of this ST! 7ATFE powa!! Ever thought about shaving down some of the fins inside of the intake mani?

I have a bunch of parts for sale. Here's some pictures, everything works. It's all a bit dirty, but no scratches on anything really. Any questions, feel free.

I strongly prefer local, or local ish interest. but what ever. shoot me a address or somn, ill see what I can do..

Location: Saskatoon SK Canada



the foot is not for sale sorry...

I need to replace the clutch on my 94 st. I will be going with exedy stage 1.

part number is 16800 for the stage 1, The description on the exedy website states the disk size is 215mm.

Part number is KTY03 and KTY18 for the standard OE replacement, and the description on both of those state the disk size is 210mm.

SoooOOoo... which one should i choose? Don't i have to have the same size as my flywheel? (which i don't know)

Thanks

just went out and checked my car in disbelieve. He's legit. cu-ru-ru raazzyyy

Fox sox man this thread deserves a gold medal with diamonds in it. so good.

Valo666 hit is spot on. did that in the fall. minus the nanimo part. so epicly beautius. DO IT!!

Ethanol reduces energy content in your gaz. avoid using it if you can. I drive a lot of highway. I did some experiments, and the husky 87 gas with 10% ethanol doesn't even come close to the "may contain up to 5% ethanol" shell 89 mileage wise, because said energy loss from the added ethanol. Ethanol is also in the OH group. these are considered "dry" liquids. IMO you would be risking damage to seals and pumps as these aren't really true liquids. well yea they are obviously. just sayin. but yea, NO ETHANOL!! also I run shell.

I wana say signal light and window wiper levers?

wait nvm that doesn't make sense..

Picked this beauty up last week. 2002, 150,000 km, minty fresh.

This is fresh, clean, and waaay stylish bro. The floor and trunk mats are such a good idea. A new steering wheel and double din would top up your interior for sure...

347 328 kilometers = 215 819.613 miles.
The 7a is definitely out lasting everything else on the car. aha. still runs like a top. She's a highway runner for sure.

I LOVE WHEEL GAP!

wood grain niiice touch buddy.

nvm durp moment

the black model looks hella sharp

I love the wheels! rally style FTW! good stuff.

2500 on the car, and around another 6k on fixes, mods, tires and a parts car. Like some one already said. still cheaper than buying a comparable newer car. all in all, totally worth it.

Whaaat. Just seen this build, and WOW buddy good job!!

Bassnectar - plugged in

ok, sweet. thanks for the advice 6gc.

As the title suggests. i have 340km on my 7a. timing belt broke so i should probably replace my water pump while im in there since i have no idea when the last time it has been changed. good plan? the pump isnt leaking though. so should i go by the old sayin. if it aint broke dont fix it.?
