6G Celicas Forums

Neoklis is right. The rear light bulbs have 2 elements. One parking light and the other lights when braking. The 2 elements have different resistances and sizes.It is
possible to still get a brake light warning light after you've replaced a blown bulb.
This is because the bulb can be fitted accidentally so the elements end up on opposing circuits. If you've changed bulbs recently and still have the dash light
just switch the bulb around 180 degrees.This is the case for jap cars, don't know
if it applies to US models.

Hey, if your looking for Manuals for the ST205 a fellow GT4 owner in the UK is allowing access to the scanned manuals in Word Format. Their pretty big files, found them easier to handle when converted to html,

heres the link : http://andrewmcc.com/bgb/

Don't forget to thank him

BRRRRRRGH !!
All we need now is a celica meet in the Sahara desert to balance things up

Sweet, love the colour aswell but not down with big rear spoilers on convertibles, JMO though...

Just curious, are the clips you guys get sold to be stripped of the engine parts etc or are they used for a "cut and shut" (two car halves joined together).
The latter isn't seen as safe or ethical over here...

Just ocurred to me that "if" I was just passing through the 6gc website and
got hooked on the idea of buying one (and having no previous knowledge
of the car), how useful it would be to have a page dedicated to buying a celi and what to look out for. You know typical checks, all the usual stock problems
that occur with our celi's, that way you don't end up with a car more broke
than yourself.
Second Idea- a fault page with categories relating to our cars, engine/transmission/
electrics etc. When one of us has a fault and manages to sort it out we log on
go to the appropriate category, enter the fault and what we did to cure it.
We build up a database of faults and cures !
If enough of us contribute all the faults/problems we had in the past and the cures
we'll have a pretty impressive fault database.
The current method of searching past posts is just to long winded!!
Let me know what you think and hopefully Coomer will come back with some
feedback on this

Sorry bout that dumbass question, I didn't bother to read through all the posts

How easy is it to remove the needles off the guages, just asking as the last
person to try this on my speedo wrecked the speedo. Can't use the posted template as the GT4 layout is different..


Jon

hey that looks awesome, lots of potential here to create a unique look, why didn't
someone on 6gc come up with this idea before

Cataclean is a regular used product, methanol based cleaners also supposedly
help with emissions, did you replace your lambda sensor, this can also cause the problem since its operating out of range. Cataclean by the way is only available on
cable shopping channels over here.

That rear lip kicks,... someone find a website link or contact !!!!

I had this problem on two occasions, first was sourced to the pedal lever
mechanism (usually a common feature on imported vehicles which are exposed
to the sea air on the boat). A good can of WD40 and lots of elbow grease eventually will get rid of the noise. The other cause where the noise comes
from the engine bay will usually be due to the clutch slave cylinder.
Follow the clutch fluid resevoir to the first cylinder (master) then follow
the fluid line to the slave cylinder near the front of the engine, need a good
torchlight to see this. You may have to take any relay boxes etc to get
your arms down into that area. Get someone to pump the clutch pedal and
at the output end of the slave cylinder there is a rubber boot (the cylinder has a rod which moves an arm).Get your WD40 again and spray generously at the
point the rod moves in and out of the slave cylinder.When the noise subsides just
replace the boot and thats it. Hope this helps,

Oh and before you ask the warranty past !

Anyone opened up a clifford Smart Siren (G4). Mine's stopped chirping and
I've been told that its a sign that the internal back up battery in the sirens
failed, usually due to the high temp of the celica engine bay.
If the back up battery is easy to remove and replace, I'll do that, otherwise
its a siren replacement at £80

Have recently started to get a juddering when I re engage the clutch (worst in
either second or third) not so bad in 4th, accompanied by a metallic sound
(not cog grind). Doesn't happen when driving from cold but builds as the cars
driven a bit. Is it a synchromesh problem ?, worst when decelerating and shifting
down gears. Got any ideas?

I thought you mean't a loved one had died (girlfriend, family member)
in that car, S**t then I realised you mean't your car, your okay right!.
Hey the car's replaceable, you or a "loved one" isn't ,

Jon

It really is pot luck out there as to whether you get involved in an
accident , at least she had insurance cover. Premiums round my way are sky high because most road traffic incidents usually
involve one of the parties having no insurance. Hope you get your car sorted out,

Jon

UZ,
you've got the original GT4 alloys in that last pic, are you sticking with those or
upgrading later on ?
Seeing engine bays like that makes me wanna go out now and start detailing

As Neoklis said, your may have had a decat, did your lambda sensor perform in range, should show up on your emission printout. Some fuel cleaner/ injector cleaners can knock your emissions down,best to go for that route first as its the cheapest, then check for leaky injectors,fuel regulator problems.

Five spoke, show of those brake discs and calipers!

Yeah, WRC intercooler water jets disabled, antilag disabled, no point activating
these, the lifespan of the engine would be limited.

TTE rally specs with these activated :

300 bhp / 5700

6speed Manual Transmission

1200 kilos weight

smaller fuel tank - 60litres

TTE car slightly longer and wider 1730mm/ 4424mm

Welcome Jean,

Looking at your car I think the train journey to Italy was worth it !
There's another frenchman with a GT Four on 6gc (Maxi) but I don't
think he posts much on here........

I'm impressed. Bronze really works well with those wheels, maybe you should do a "how to" for the 6 gen site...

Who said needlecraft in Primary School would be a waste of time !, can't
spot the joins , nice picture Simmo!

Hold on, you said that was last year!, so the pic you posted with the C one front
is after the crash damage repairs ?. Damn your guys did a good job. How's
she handling now ?, you usually get some chassis allignment problems with
a smash that bad, uneven tyre wear etc.
