6G Celicas Forums

Thx Smaay , tried wat you said and (adding oil above the hash mark) ...no more flashing (life can be so simple ...somethimes)

what's the colour of the car? in most case's and for dark cars i would say ; chromium black , flat black for brighter cars.
Too bad we don't have any sellers/importers in Belgium for these XXR wheels, they're awesome.

Every now and then my oil pressure lamp lights up during a fraction of a second and this mostly when taking fast left corners, it's a 1.8i from 1994 and the oil level is normal.
Reported this to my mechanic and to him everithyng seems normal.
Any problem on its way, or is it just a "20 years old car" issue and no need to worrie?

Hi, another low cost mod.....
When i bought the car it came with a front grille but the previous owner fitted it for some reason with a "blanking plate" so i decided to fit a black mesh instead together with the same black mesh for the lower (bumper) part, the bumper was an easy fit but the upper grille was a p*** ....the alternative way would heve been removing the bumper( might do that at some point).
Also tinted my rear lights and front indicators (not extremely, for security reasons)

Here you go aldizzurp...few pics after a couple of "settling" weeks , is 35 mm's lower and pleases me (daily driver...) but for some "tuning" lovers it may still sit a bit high, comfort and handling are just great (lot less bodyroll) but remember ; these wheels are 17 inch (215-40/17) so i believe that if you ride 15 or 16" it would just look great.

A while ago i had the oppurtunity to drive a friend's facelift Celica (mine's a pre-facilift) and i believe these seats are comfier (more padding?) and maybe a bit lower too, is that correct?
I also believe the shape is better looking but that's just my opinion...
If i will go for a leather upgrade then i could swap my seats (in excellent condition, from a GT-four) for his seats ,they have few hole's in the fabrics and look a bit dirty but they would be recovered anyway.

Well, they're fitted (Apex lowering springs -35 mm) and these are my findings; looks are just a bit better but i believe they need a few weeks to settle properly and they might drop a bit more , no?
Comfort is ....amazingly good, i can even say it's a lot comfier than my Miata fitted with way more expensive H&R springs, off course it's another car...
Price is ...even better , about a third cheaper than the "big" brands.
I'm running 17 inchers with 215-40/17 tyres and after lots of reading i found some sources pretending that for a correct look -35 mm is not low enough, but if after a few weeks it still has that monster truck-look then i'd rather switch to 16 inch instead of getting any lower.
Hop this revieuw is helpfull for any potential purchasers.
Pics will follow in a few weeks (after the "settling" period and the snow).

Nankangs are great.....for the price, which is unbelieveably cheap but.....i would not buy them again , had them on my 944 and the griplevel was way below the car's capabilities, if you're not that sporty driver then i would definitly say yes, if you like sharp handling and cornering i would say; spend a bit more ,go for a compromise, brands like Falken, Hancook and Toyo offer great handlings and the price level is in between Nankang and the top-tyres; Bridgestone,Michelin......

Thx guys , these foils are a great and are an easy way to solve the problem but.....i've been googeling for hours and i can only find them in white.....which is not my cup of tea realy.

Hi there, just received my Apex lowering springs (-3,5 cm), oredered them in UK and they get good revieuws.
They have to be fitted now......question is; is there anything specific about fitting these springs (on a 1.8)? the guy who will eventualy install them says it is a "different" fit compared to most cars.....
How many hours labour should i expect for the fitting of these?
Prefer to be informed/prepared when the bill (fitment) has to be paid.

Question: as that foil covering the heather control partly became scratched/dirty ..is it "repleacable" with new foil, or could i just simply pull it of and leave it (without making the final result worse than it already is off course...)

Thx for the possitive comments guys ,

Idd i'm selling the roof spoiler but if you might be interested i believe it will be costly to send it over (no idea how much realy....), maybe i could eventualy send it trough DHL , i know someone working there , have to chek that out.

The roof spoiler (Booster) on itself is fine for me but i believe it's just a bit too much in combination with the rear spoiler .
When i went to see the car it had an air scoop on the bonnet and a much bigger rearspoiler... as the seller is a garage keeper and a Celica specialist a part of the deal became ; removing of that hood and replacing it with an original one , also swap the big spoiler for this one (original Toyota? not sure about it...).
As he just resprayed the car due to minor chips/dents and faded away paintwork it was an easy task for him.

Thx (all of you),
There's no noticeable power loss on LPG (unlike the "old days" of LPG motoring)......even the fuel/gas consumption difference is ignorable (about 5% more on LPG).

Hi there, my name is Desmet Patrick, i live in Belgium and am new to the forum, just baught this Celica 1.8 from 1994 and very pleased with it.
It wil be my daily runner and is converted to gas (LPG) as fuel in Europe costs us a leg....., she wil stand next to my Mazda MX-5 (Miata for you guys ) which is my summer car.
She has 180.000 kms (110.000 miles?) on the clock and runs great, planned mods in the future are lowering it about 3 cms (too high now with these 17 inchers), removal of the roof spoiler, other exhaust, discrete front lip and leather interior, that's basicly it.
Sorry for my "broken" english , it's not my native language but i'l do my best.
