Well, I got these in 2013 or 2014 from another user on here, ended up not using them. They're in good condition, with 2 caveats: one lamp (Left Low beam) is missing one tab from the bottom (EDIT: also missing the little locator pin on that same unit), and the rubber rings are gone. I'm trying to get $175 plus shipping. I'm in central NJ if you'd rather pick up. Pics:      Close up of Lamp without tab and locator pin:  EDIT: noticed one more thing, it's listed now. |

I'm looking for a timing belt cover for a 1997 ST. I have the timing cover from a 94, but it doesn't fit due to the crank position sensor port. If anyone has one, let me know! I only NEED bottom section, but bottom + top would be good too, since i'm missing that one also. Basically, I have one that fits the "no sensor port" oil pump, need one that fits "sensor port" pump! Pic for reference:  |

Header gone. I'm letting the SRI go for $20 + shipping. With the box size I think shipping will be almost dead on $10, so $30 all told. |

EDIT: Fog lights have been sold. Header also gone. Seats gone. All that's left is the turn signals and SRI. Hi all, just trying to offload some items before I move. (Quick edit, for anyone wondering where I'm located, I'm currently still in Rock Hill, SC) The turn signals are in ok condition, a bit scuffed but serviceable. Again, they no longer fit my bumper. The Spectre short-ram air intake doesn't have any cracks, and comes with all the pieces pictured. I didn't care for the look. As for prices, all the seats (and hinges/hooks if you need them) are free if you pick them up. I'll let go of the short ram for $20 (before shipping), and the turn signals for $10 (also before shipping). Passenger seat:  Rear seats/seat backs (I probably should've vacuumed the seat backs before taking that photo):   Turn Signals:  Spectre Intake:  |

QUOTE (Special_Edy @ Dec 12, 2013 - 9:52 PM)  Use a multimeter to check primary and secondary resistance on the coil. Remove the valve cover and check the valve shim clearances with a set of feeler gauges. They should of been checked when reinstalled, they tend to get smaller gaps till the valve is being held perpetually open When i rebuilt the engine i had the valves done by a local machine shop, but it can't hurt to give it a check. I'm a little concerned that the misfire is on one cylinder specifically, wouldn't a problem with the coil affect the others as well? |

So, about 3 weeks ago my 94 ST started getting a misfire. Initially, it was only under mid-heavy load, like going up a hill at relatively low revs. I replaced the spark plugs and it got better for a few days, then went back to the occasional misfire. However, a few days ago it suddenly got way worse. I pulled up to a stoplight, but when I went to take off, it would barely go. It's nearly undrivable. It's pretty much a constant misfire now. It seems to be cylinder #2. It tries to die if i pull a spark plug wire/unplug an injector from 1, 3, or 4, but nothing changes when i unplug either from cylinder #2. I had changed out my spark plugs and wires probably less than a year ago. I rebuilt this engine June of last year, and have had a VERY slight miss with this engine all along. I assumed it was due to the ever-worsening crack in my exhaust manifold (located closest to the cylinder #2 exhaust port). So: ---Rebuilt 18 months ago ---Replaced spark plugs about 2 weeks ago, the old ones weren't broken or particularly noteworthy ---Replaced spark plug wires within past year ---Switched over the injectors from my other 7A-FE thinking one may have been clogged, no change Anyone have any ideas? Advance tells me they can't check the CEL code on anything pre-96. Second edit to add that I replaced my distributor cap/rotor around the same time as my spark plug wires. I took the dist cap off today and cleaned up the contacts, they looked fairly bad again. Unfortunately that changed nothing. |

Guessing you sold it, since the CL post is removed? QUOTE (ink_eyes_25 @ Jun 21, 2013 - 11:12 PM) HELLO FELLOW 6TH GENNERS, I HAVE A STEAL OF A DEAL FOR YA! IF YOU'RE NEAR HIGH POINT, NC, LISTEN UP! Not looking to part out but if car doesnt sale and for the right amount of money i may consider it. I have a project celica gt up for salesale that i dont really have time to work in anymore and i could use the money to finish up another project. It has a JDM complete swap 3sge and 5sp transmission; with about 70k miles on it (the jdm odometer reads 125,xxx km when removed from front clip ) and a clean primmered body with 180k miles on it. I have a spare 2.2 5sfe block that I will give with the car. Was planning on stroking up this jdm 2.0 to the 2.2 (parts are interchangable). Also will throw in an extra 5sfe 5sp transmission from the stock motor flawless smooth shifting (again parts are interchangable so it will fit the 3sge swap). I need to clear up some space and put to money toward my other project. Other wise I wouldn't sell it. I believe in and honest sell and Iit.m letting you know every detail about the car, so rest assure no bs here  also title in hand.I estimate $550 to get this project completed. Hard for.me to sell but i have to come to my senses and let some of my projects go. Got 4 projects going on in my driveway lol.

Whenever I'm driving while using the A/C, I'm used to it taking a fair amount of my engine power and acceleration (that mighty 7afe  ) . Lately, the A/C will frequently stop compressing for a few seconds, giving me a puff of damp, smelly air (it's generally fairly humid here in SC), and removing the A/C load from the engine. Then a few seconds later it'll kick back in.Anybody have any ideas on this? I picked up an A/C recharge kit from Autozone, but when I hooked the gauge up to the low-pressure port while running the A/C at full blast, the pressure would fluctuate between 25 and 40 psi. I decided not to add any refrigerant, since that wasn't the behavior I was expecting. Is it possible my evap core is all gunked up, or that the system might be over-charged (like if the previous owner added too much refrigerant)? |

I bought an adapter on eBay last September, but I can't find any on there now. After a quick Google search, I'm pretty sure they're identical to these. In fact, those might be the exact ones that I bought. They fit nearly flawlessly, with the one caveat being that the added 1/4" thickness causes the heads of the screws holding the adapter plate to the enclosure in the door to contact the ring around the speaker grille on the back of the door card. It's possible that the entire width of the plate would cause a clearance issue even without the screws. It doesn't bother me too much though.  |

QUOTE (nics @ Jun 6, 2013 - 9:40 PM) QUOTE (PaukST @ Jun 6, 2013 - 5:43 PM) Any word on the parts I posted about? Did you see my reply back then? The only problem is the hood cable, it broke but the latch and the lever are good. I haven't have a chance to put together the stuff. I get overwhelming amount of inquiries lol. I'll try to find time this weekend to list what I have, box it, give you a price shipped. Thanks man nics Yeah, I did. Seeing as you still have the car, I'm actually trying to replace most of my plastic interior trim pieces (ABS plastic mostly). They're painted red (badly) and I haven't been having much success stripping that paint off. Long story short, I'm interested in all of the remaining dash vents, the driver's side window/door lock piece (I don't really need the switches, mine work fine), both door handle trim pieces... basically everything in this picture. Of course that's in addition to the other stuff. So whenever you get everything set up, just PM me so we can set up a price. Thanks!  |

Forgot about this topic, lol. Thanks for the input, everyone. I ended up picking up a 4-channel Alpine MRP-F300 amp, and a pair of Infinity Kappa 6.5's for the rear. I saw a lot of good reviews on those speakers, then after I bought them saw some reviews claiming they're too bright/harsh. Hopefully that's not the case, but if I don't like them there's a fair chance I can get someone to take them off my hands. I'm going to hopefully be installing it all tomorrow, and then with a few days of listening I'll look for the next steps to take. |

Got the window/lock control panel today, it's in great shape! Thanks a bunch! I'm also interested in a bunch of other pieces, that I didn't think of before... 1) the shifter plastic trim (does it have all/most of the tabs for holding the shift boot?) 2) the short cable that goes from the rear hatch latch mechanism to the rear hatch lock 3) the aim-able passenger side climate control/blower vent closest to the door (if it still has most of the tabs to hold it in place) 4) the driver side mirror 5) the turn signal/headlight switch 6) the windshield sprayer nozzles (assuming they're not clogged) 7) the entire hood latch mechanism (the handle thing under the dash, the cable from there to the latch, the latch mechanism itself, and the loop on the underside of the hood that it hooks onto, and all the bolts/screws to go with it) I'm also trying to get the inner fender well plastics, but they'd probably be way expensive to ship due to their size. If they won't be super expensive to ship I'd love a price on those as well. I wish I'd gotten to your thread sooner - I'm trying to get myself that rear hatch cover as well, but someone beat me to it  |

How much would you like for the passenger side window and lock control panel (assuming it's not already taken, and all the tabs are intact)? A pic of mine so you know what piece I'm talking about.  |

Actually it looks like those speakers are 60w RMS. My head unit puts out 22w RMS (x4). I may have to upgrade my head unit or get an amp to power the whole set. |

QUOTE (Keiri @ May 8, 2013 - 4:32 PM) They may not be exactly what you're looking for but I have the following: Pioneer Premier D720C 6.5" Woofer/ 1.75" Tweeter Component Set (Fronts) - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12224_...-TS-D1720C.html Pioneer Premier D702P 6.5" 2-Way Set (Rears) - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22430_...-TS-D1702R.html The ones I've linked are non-Premier but basically the same speakers. I've had them about 4 years this month and they're pretty decent without an amp and sub supporting them so I'd assume they'll be plenty with what you're planning. Those look pretty promising (especially the reviews that say the tweeter isn't super bright like many others). Did you have to do any cutting/drilling to get them mounted? |

So I'm looking to replace all 4 of my speakers in my Celica. The front has some excruciatingly bright Pioneer 3-ways, the rear has stock speakers, although 1 of them is giving me weird noises. Can anyone recommend me some speakers that aren't going to be painfully bright? I'm on a budget, not looking to spend more than $300 on the whole set of 4 - I'm planning to pick up two 8" Kicker subs and an amp in the near future also. So if anyone has any advice, I'll be glad to hear it. My headunit is a Pioneer DEH-44HD, which I'm also open to upgrading. Edited for spelling. |

QUOTE (black13 @ Jan 18, 2013 - 2:19 AM) QUOTE (richee3 @ Jan 16, 2013 - 8:44 PM) I lost interest in mine once too. My solution: I drove something else for a while. Trust me, you'll REALLY want your aging, slow, oversteering, but cherished Celica back. As strange as it sounds, the 6th gen Celica just has a certain "feel" that other cars just can't match. Of course, boosting and swapping are great options to give the car the power you want. However, both cost a lot of money and if we all had that much money, odds are we wouldn't be tinkering around with Celicas. My advice: Freshen the car up. New struts, ball joints, tie rod ends, polyurethane bushings, sway bar end links, take the seats out and steam clean everything, etc. You get the idea. It'll still cost a good bit of money, but it can be done one day at a time. Even if your car still feels good, there's room for improvement by replacing aging parts. Plus it's a great feeling to replace parts yourself then take the car for a drive and be able to feel the results. It's also cheaper than car payments. When you are finished fixing everything up and you still aren't interested in the car, all of the new parts are an excellent selling point. lol so true. But it has to be a ****ty car usually. I drove a Saturn for a month while I was working on my celi and boy that first drive after it was done was just priceless. Although driving anything after a Saturn is an improvement. Haha! QFT about the Saturn, I just picked up a 5speed Saturn SL1 to drive while fixing my Celica. Haven't started fixing the Celica yet, so sometimes I still drive it. It's like lightning comparitively. |
