6G Celicas Forums

Haven't forgotten about you, haven't been able to get it to a covered parking spot yet so I can start pulling glass yet. Sorry for the delay, I'll try to take care of it ASAP.

I got the Del Sol, and I am picking apart the many stupid decisions that previous owners have made over the past 21 years (some idiot took apart the correct 5-speed ecu for the car and swapped in the guts for a smaller, automatic, engine's ecu, which explains a ton of the problems I've been having, and why I had so much trouble tracking it down). If after getting it back to OEM shape I an unhappy with it, I will probably delve into an MR2. I want to experience different kinds of vehicles and expand my knowledge. I will definitely never forget my 6gc, nor the wonderful community!

I can't even remember what I paid for the rad, I think 140 plus shipping seems fair. 40 for the header with heat wrapping plus shipping, 120 plus shipping and I'll leave both 02 sensors in it. It is a royal PITA to get the 02 sensors out of your oem iron block.

E-brake has one person asking about it. E-mail me a fair offer and we'll talk: ndawgtkd@gmail.com

Response sent, editing post.

For those of you who wanted suspension or trim pieces, I won't be able to pull the suspension until I move the car underneath my car port so that I can then pull the trim pieces and won't get water in the car. Hopefully I can move it and get the rest of the parts pulled this week some time.

-Nate

Took pictures of everything today. Will post them here when I get home. Found a koyo radiator for a 5 speed that I forgot I had. Also found a 5 speed ecu.

Stormed all day today, still trying to get those pictures and respond to the flood of PMs, lol. I haven't forgot anyone.

-Nate

KK, what do you think is fair on that? Like 5 plus shipping?

-Nate

I'm in Jacksonville FL. The door cards are spoken for at the moment, but the doors themselves are still up for grabs.

-Nate

So far I have the door cards, exhaust, steering knuckles, springs, seat covers, cooling panel and riser blocks with interested buyers, if you want something on this list I will get with you in the order that I see your post \ email. I will try to get pictures posted tomorrow for those who have requested them.

Thanks all
Nate

Adapter was cheap, I would take like 5 bucks plus shipping.

The Greddy GR2 has a bit of a line, working out details on that and I will work my way up the line.

-Nate



Both work, shoot me an offer and we'll go from there.

-Nate

All PMs and E-mails responded to. More pictures to come tomorrow. Thanks all!

-Nate

Yea, I agree, glad to be here today!

The car is a 95 GT Automatic w/ 194k.

Hey all, some of you have seen me around, I wasn't an extremely active poster but I definitely learned a lot from this forum and my car wouldn't have been what it was without this community. 2 months ago I was in an accident and unfortunately the insurance coverage I THOUGHT I had was not actually correct. Apparently I never checked the box for collision. Anyway, as you can see from the pictures the 2 beams that run through the frame are bent at about a 45 degree angle and I don't think she will be salvageable without much more money than I have, sooooo it looks like it is time to part ways. I really wanted to hit 200k with her, but I ended up only making it to 194.

Anyway, some mods:

I'm sure there are some other things I will remember, but that is it for now. Shoot me a line, gmail probably best ndawgtkd@gmail.com. I will try to post a picture for each item when requested. Please keep in mind that the vehicle is at my parents house, I do not always have access to it.

Currently I am rocking a z24 cavalier. But I just recently purchased a 93 Honda Del Sol. Unfortunately it is hard as hell to source any desirable parts here in Jacksonville for the Celica, so I went with a Honda because I know several shop owners who can get me parts wholesale. I never saw a Celica around here that looked anything like mine and I was proud to drive it, but it looks like I will just have to create something I am proud of out of the Sol I still come by the site from time to time and check up on things, I just haven't wanted to post about it.



Yea, luckily I had the 7g steering wheel and airbag installed, felt like a pillow hit me lol. Thank goodness I had just secured the airbag back down two days before, since I had the thing just sitting in the steering wheel for around 4 months previously.



Yup, the spoiler flew off on me. It was only held on with those plastic inserts that you screw into for body panels. Never needed anything else, until now, lol

Yea, no serious injuries. Although as soon as I pointed out to the state trooper that the other vehicle's occupants were lying about who was driving they suddenly all had neck injuries and had to be taken away in the ambulance. Thankfully the trooper knew that they were full of it.

Well sir, you are in luck. If you look at my post in the Today I... thread you will see that I am out of the game. The car has a SP2 catback on it that I would be willing to part with to the right buyer.

-Nate

Well, I haven't been around in a while unfortunately. This happened to me a couple of months back, and I simply haven't had the heart to post it up yet. She will be missed.

I only wish I had a manual

Got stranded at a convenience store at 1:30AM, my starter finally kicked the bucket. I've been tapping it to get her started for a couple of months now. This time, the tapping didn't work, I actually ended up beating a hole through the starter. Got up around 9:00AM, got a ride to the auto parts store, $129+core. 20 minutes later she cranks right up

Very good on the body work. I think I've said it before in this thread, but hand over them keys to the Stingray! Literally my dream car

Found and fixed an exhaust leak. Apparently one of the bolts at the cat fell off on the highway. Sounded like a damn rice rocket. Purrs like she should now. Bought a new amp (hfi1500d) to replace my crappy sony xplod amp, went through and re-tuned my whole audio system. Much clearer now. Pics to follow.

Car died on me, was driving over some train tracks (on my way for a tire rotation, I would do it myself but the shop I use wasn't going to charge me anything so I figured what the hell). Car jumped to 2000 rpm, sputtered a bit, I sat there wondering what the heck could be wrong, so I gave it a bit of gas, it stuck at 2000 rpm and died. I coasted into the nearest parking lot, checked my fluids and everything seemed fine. Tried to crank it up, everything was cranking OK, but the car wouldn't start. Pulled a sparkplug wire to see if there was anything alarming waiting, but that was clear. Went to put the wire back on and noticed that it would not snap back onto the plug. I looked into the plug wire and noticed the screw-on tip of the plug was stuck in the wire. Had the GF walk the kids back to the house while I sat there and tried to get the end of the plug out. Finally got it out, but damaged the threads (At the time I had no idea that this was the screw on type). Go up to the nearest auto-zone with my plugs and bought replacements, go back to the car and install them. Crank up the car and get the same thing, will turn over and not fire. There was an auto repair place right across the street from where I broke down, so I get some of the guys to help me push the car over into the shop. I got a call shortly after telling me that my distributor was shot, this is the OEM distributor which has lasted for 174k, so I told them to go ahead and replace it (only because the diagnostic fee I would have been charged was the same as the installation fee, so I was only looking at parts at this point). I am now waiting to hear word that I can go pick my car back up. They will be setting the timing back to where I had it and hopefully I will be back on the road soon. Now I will need to replace my plug wires within a month in order to have my warranty honored for the distributor. Today has not been a nice day so far.

Was sent this video on Facebook, I cringed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhT3C9mHLZ4..._source=message
