I think I'm gonna go with 5/40W since it's winter but I found out that it runs with 5/40W now, but since that oil was put in it uses alot more. So it's going to be 10/40W when it's summer I think.

I used to have TT wheels and they were the perfect fitment / offset.

The car looks really clean and the RS4 wheels suit it! Top work!


Thank you. Could use some wheelspacers though... wink.gif

Your car is very nice too especially that front bumper is looking very good. :-)

Btw where did you get those rear lips of yours at? It looks awesome.

Here is my beloved Celica 1.8 7A-FE... smile.gif













My tinted rear lights.... smile.gif I have considered JDM, but I think these are unique.



What do you think about my Audi RS4 wheels on a celica? I think they fit it quite well, but what about you guys?

I'm about to change the engine oil on my 1.8 7A-FE. What kind of oil should I use? As mentioned in the topic title the car have driven 142K miles, or 226K Km.

On Castrols website I used their oil guide (http://ew5.earlweb.com/recommendations.php?site=71&sector=1&category=6&subset=278&modelyear=&vehicle=7964), and it says that I should use 5W/40, but since the engine isn't new I have heard someone say that 10W/40 is better?

Btw it's winter here in Denmark (Scandinavia) right now it's around -10 Celcius, and it is probably getting worse.

Which oil should I get?

Is that a custom sunroof? Ive never seen any (6th gen) that slide back on top of the roof. Mine slides under it.


Yes it is a custom sunroof by the brand Webasto. wink.gif

theres a seller on ebay, chromeintakes i think, that sells "cold air intakes"... they are more than a short ram, but not fully down in the wheel well like a name brand cold air intake. they are only like $40 after shipping, so its a lot cheaper and does the same thing any high end name brand one would do


I will check that out. I have been looking at a Green Air filter "kit" like this (Danish site) http://www.astina.dk/product_info.php?cPat...ducts_id=103019

Is the Green air filter "set" a CAI or a SRI?

no need to be hostile he was trying to help and a gt in the eu should have a 3sge and i am aware that u also got the 7a overseas but it wasnt called a GT to my knowledge...

injen works fine but 400 is insane they go for 90 used over here



I'm sorry if I sound hostile if so then I am sorry. smile.gif

You are probably right about the 3sge maybe it's just called Toyota Celica 1.8, but I don't know much about the specific names.

I have been looking on the american eBay, but the package will be charged with taxes etc. since the USA isn't within the European Union. It's very annoying since the prices in the USA are much more reasonable then here, and I don't mind if its used as long as it is in good condition. wink.gif

I suggest getting a universal one. Just find some 2.5" piping, cut it to fit properly and buy a filter. But be warned it wont change your exhaust sound drastically.

edit: i just noticed your listed as a 94 GT...the GT didnt have the 7afe engine, it had the 5sfe. So you must have the ST trim level. Just For Your Information.


For Your Information the Toyota Celica are called something different in Europe. The 5SFE was not even made to the european market. It is called GT in Europe, and the engine I have is the 7A-FE the big "7A-FE" tag on the engine doesen't lie.

But back to the subject I could perhaps try what you suggest, but does anyone have experience with the Injen intake?

I want my car (7A-FE) to have more throuty sound it has a TTE Double piped exhaust already, but it could use a more deep sound.

I have been searching for a short ram, but the only one I could find is the Injen Short Ram Intake. In Denmark it's 400$ for the Injen set! Is it possible to find something cheaper that gives the same kind of sound, sorta like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKpG9AS6_Dc

I don't want a cold air intake since im worried about it hydroclocking especially in the current cold and wet weather.

Do you guys have any suggetions, which SRI that both are cheap and doesen't harm the engine (not a bad quality one.)

10mm front spacers should be ok, I would suggest maybe 25mm for the rear? while the front lip is already factory rolled you will definitely need to roll the rear

x2

The rear is wider than the front, our cars were blessed with a Supra-esque body. Completely flush is +15mm front and -2mm rear offsets. You can figure out what spacers you want based on that.



Ok, and this is without rolling the fenders? And what do you mean by -2mm rear offsets? I'm sorry if it might be a stupid question but I don't know anything about this... smile.gif

not too many options for you without rolling the rear fenders, still gonna looked sucked in, but as far as spacers if you dont want bolt on just get 10mm slide on spacers



Ok can I use 10 mm spacers in the front too?

I'm looking for some spacers for my 1994 Celica 1.8 (GT)

My rims have the following size: (Momo Strike) 7X17 5X100 ET38 72.2 (im using centering rings so they will fit the 54.1 hub)









The tires on the picture is 205/40-17 in a few days i'm going to put on 215/45-17 wintertires.

I dont know if i have negative camber, but here is a picture of the rear (with 215/35-18 FK452's)


Which spacers should I choose to get my car as wide as possible without having to roll the fenders or doing any other modifications?

I know the car is dirty it's going to get clayed, polished, waxed etc. in the weekend so don't worry. smile.gif
