6G Celicas Forums

I don't know if this factors into your consideration, but a Tanabe rep pointed out to me that the coilovers are actually made by a different company.. I think KYB. If you look at the actual coilover, if even has the KYB label on it. I would check that out to make sure.

A lot of the coilover setups are made by third party vendors, and on a lot of boards people are arguing about whether the build quality of name-brand coilovers such as Apexi, Megan, Greddy, etc. are the same because they came from the same manufacturers such as Bor Chuan in Taiwan.

If you need load resistors to fix the blinking problem, you can buy them on ebay here:

I'm sure you can get them elsewhere also. I haven't tried these, so I'm not endorsing this particular company. Let us know how you fix the problem.

For people who don't want to pay a lot of money for an S2000 conversion:
I just installed an antenna from locustom.com. It's called the 'Shark Attack 2' and is basically an S2000 antenna with an angled base. It was really easy to install. Just plugged in the antenna plug and spliced the power wire to the grey wire on the OEM power antenna harness. The amp is integrated into the base. My OEM powered antenna was completely removed. There was no need to keep/modify anything. It costs $35. They have other conversions on their site also. So far the FM reception is the same and the AM reception is good, but crappy when in weak signal areas.

For anyone with extensions... How are these affixed? Do these come with holes to attach with existing stock bolts, or are these glued on? Thanks, I'm jealous.

I am about to mount some fog lights on my 97 bumper. At the position where I want to mount them, however, the bumper cover curls under the metal bar. Do I need to take off the bumper or can I just drill through the bumper cover to the metal? Anybody got shots of how you mounted your aftermarket fogs?

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

There was a company called Gourmet Garage that sold McCulloch HID kits. A lot of people bought those kits, but now it seems that their site is down. They may have gone out of business. They "claimed" that their bulbs matched the position of the stock lightbulb filament which would give the best beam pattern. The only problem was that they used proprietary HID bulbs.

This guy, however, does not seem to have been shut down yet... or so it seems. This guy has a lot of pictures, for those who are picky about the color.

You can try this company.

I've seen these in person, and they look nice. They are made of neoprene and they make it custom fitted to your seat.

You can try your local UHAUL. I got a small hitch for my car installed there several years ago, and I use it with my Yakima 2-bike rack. It was pretty cheap for the hitch... around $14

I have PIAA "high intensity blue" 194 LED lights. The blue color and intensity is really nice, but because they are LEDs, it doesn't give an even distribution of light like the regular bulbs. It seems to me that blue light is harder to see, in general, if it is not completely dark outside.

Those "add-a-circuit" things are great. Make sure you check the amps of the fuse you're plugging into. The LittelFuse brand "add-a-circuit" I saw at Autozone is safe up till 10amps(total). So don't plug it into anything higher. It may still work, but you risk catching on fire.

Everybody has their favorite wax, so you're going to get different answers from different people. I've used Meguiar's, which I like, and Zymol. Right now I'm sticking with the Zymol since the coat seems to last longer.

Here is an interesting study done by some NSX enthusiasts: (wax test)

I'm pretty sure my celi's 7AFE was manufactured and assembled in Japan. I'm wondering about the 7AFEs that are in the Corollas. The Corollas were built in the US, so did they also build 7AFE engines or were they all shipped from Japan?

I'm just curious if there are Japan and US manufactured 7AFE engines, and if there are any differences between them.

Thanks,

I have factory sideskirts and rear mud flaps on my car. The front mud flaps will not fit with the sideskirts on. The mud flaps are shaped to fit cars without the sideskirts.

There was an article going around on the internet comparing these filters. The Apexi had the best filtration. I think K&N came in second and the HKS and Blitz were poor. That's probably why your friend wanted your filter.

I'm looking for a convenient spot to ground a wire. Somewhere near the driver's footwell would be great. Something as easy as grounding to an existing screw would be perfect.

Thank you!

Try giggling your gear in "park" also. I've had my ignition lock up on me a couple of times, and doing that has unlocked it.

good luck.

Thanks Coomer. I'm just curious about what is connected to some of the fuses. If you could help me with these, that would be great.

Panel fuse: What is connected to? Is this the fuse for the lights in the middle console? Is this fuse always hot?
MIR-HTR: I have to double check, but I'm pretty sure I don't have mirror heaters. Could I use this slot to power an accessory, or would I need to do some wiring to hook it up?
Gauge: is this fuse just for the gauge meter cluster, or is it connected to other things?
Turn: Is this fuse always hot, or only when the turn switch is activated for a turn?

Thanks,
TJ

Can anyone point me to a chart/diagram of the interior fuse box? I'm trying to figure out what circuits plug into the fuses. Some of the labels on the fuses are straightforward, but some of them are not.

Thanks.

I've tried one of those brands with the single LED and clear diffuser tops. They didn't seem that bright.

For my gauge cluster, I used the PIAA High intensity LED "dark blue" bulbs. They do have an uneven cast, because of the way LEDs cast light. However, the color is great! If you're planning on getting red or blue, LEDs have a nice deep color. Regular colored bulbs like red will look more like pink. The PIAA bulbs have 2 LEDs per bulb which is nice. Make sure you get good quality LED bulbs and put them in the socket correctly or else they won't light up.

If you're just going for hyper-white, then I'd go with the regular bulbs.
