New wiper blades The car runs really well and as you know these things are really fun to drive ![]() Problems: Driver's side headlight has some water in it ABS light is on Rear Wiper motor is dead but is now taken off so the front wipers work fine Cosmetic imperfections: misc. dings and scratches (it's not a beauty queen - but I'm a perfectionist) dent in the passenger side quarter panel at the front near the side marker light paint isn't that great near the front bumper area. I'm asking for US$6,000 - If you'd like to negotiate please send me an email holsonyap@rcn.com Car can be seen near the BU (Allston/Brookline) area. Thank you, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I kind of don't care. I think it's plenty fast in the city. It lacks the torque off the line but once it moves it's fine. It also sounds very trashy when the 5SFE is singing its upper registers and runs out of power. But I agree, it's a good looking car and I don't really race people.. |

I was doing probably 65 in a 45 (It was a 4/5 lane road that splits up and I didn't think the speed limit was 45 - stupid me). I was in a hurry and it was so not worth the ticket. The road was empty too and there was the temptation to punch it from 0mph and I did... The cop was really professional though, very polite, and gave me a 50 in a 45. It was allright I guess. |

I've browsed HID-forums and the conclusion is that mcculloch's HID kits are not that great because they rely on the car's stock wiring instead of a relay. I've decided to not go the HID way... |

Yeah, something right behind my door panel rattles too. I can stop it by pushing the plastic trim piece against the door from the inside . |

I don't know if it's because of the 9005 bulbs. I've noticed that the beam pattern is still the same but it's fuzzier than it is with 9006 bulbs. I'm gonna put the Philips Premium +30% back in there. |

Honestly, I don't think anything less than a Turbo/Supercharger is worth purchasing when it comes to modifying an engine. It's after the turbo that I'd do the other things. same with body mods.. wheels first. |

bump! the ABS sensors cost $196 each from the dealer... ![]() It'd be nice to have ABS to help the Celica's already marginal braking. |

After reading HID-forums, im not sure that I want to put in those rebased D2R capsules into my USDM reflectors. These USDM reflectors are horrible. Fuzzy cutoff, barely any light to the sides...don't even want to imagine them with HIDs in them. What kind of headlights do Euro 6GC's come with? E-Codes? |

Has anyone done an HID conversion to their Celica? If you have, which kit did you use and how does the beam pattern look? |

I have bought so many different 9006 bulbs for my car... Sylvania Silverstars Sylvania CoolBlue Sylvania standard 9006 Philips Premium +30 9006 modified 9005s the brightest are either the Philips Premium or the modified 9005s. The silverstars that I currently have in there suck.... im thinking of going for HIDs now... the Celica is in need of some good lighting |

allright I'm putting 87 in the Celica next time. I put 93/94 in the E420 but I guess that 11:1 V8 really needs it. However, when I read the Celica's owners manual, it says that 91+ will improve performance and is recommended... so I've always put 93 in the Celica (the only 91+ available) ?? ![]() |
