6G Celicas Forums

Bugger, got a mate who bought a Toyota 86 with the 16inch wheels, after placing a wheel on the back and front, I can safely say for those who were after this wheel option for their 95 Celica, sorry but the 86 wheel will hit the front brake caliper, back is fine but no go on the front.
Cheers

Yes Peg, the 86's here can have 16 or 17 inch wheels.

Thanks all, the wheels are off a Toyota 86 and the tyres on it are 205/50/16, so I figured that if I'm currently using the 17's with the 235 width, I believe the 16's should not give me too many hassles when fitting, unless I need spacers.
Cheers

lol, soz Bonzai, I wasn't clear, I meant swapping the 17 wheels and tyres for 16 inch wheels and tyres

I currently run 235/45/17 so I'm thinking the 205/50/16 should fit without too much hassel.

I intend to use a 205/50/16 tyre.

My appologies for the simple question all, I'm looking to go to 16inch rims for my 95 Celica and was looking the the Toyota 86 rims. They look great but I'm lead to believe that they come in 16 inch but have a +48 offset? if this is the case, is it possible to put these on my car without too much work? I run King Springs (low) and my current wheels are 17inch with a +38 offset (close to struts but does not touch) they scrape a little when turning and you hit a bump, but otherwise they fit ok.
The offset will look to be a problem, will I have to get the guards rolled or put in spacers?
Any info would br great

Cheers

Now that's how you improvise! nice one mate

Thanks Scott much appreciated, I am going to replace the rubber components with neoprene, good to see the rubber units can be pressed out

G'day all, after a wheel alignment issue with the rear wheels the mechanic said that the rear bushes that connect the rear track control arms are worn and need to be replaced however after talking to Toyota, I have to buy the complete arms as the brushes are not replaceable. The part number for both left and right arms is: 48730-20210 which is the rear track control arms for the ST204. So my question is, can the brushes/bushes be removed and replaced without having to buy new track arms or is there a business in Australia that can deal with recondition arms or replacement bushes.

Cheers

Update: found a supplier

On a side note for these JDM lights and people fitting them to their Celica's, in my home town of Canberra, Australia, these lights will not pass rego! I was informed that these lights need to have a leveling system in them, they cannot not be fixed in place so that you can blind others drivers. I thought it was a bit slack but those are the rules here in Canberra, so if you are planning to get your vehicle registered in Canberra with these lights, remove them and fit standards and then put them on after. Hopefully this will help you avoid the issues I had with ACT rego

Hey all, does anyone know how to make after market centre console face plate surrounds? My shift boot surround clips are broken and no longer hold the shift boot in place, so I'm looking around for replacement surround and also the face panel for my heater controls.
Are there any plastic, carbon fibre options out there? any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Prefer the seller to be in Australia

Hey all, I'm after a set of 5, 16 x 7inch wheels for my ST204. My car is silver so I'm after wheels that would suit it nicely. I need a +38 offset or close to it. I currently have 17 x 7 VIA multifits on the car but I no longer have any boot space as the spare, which is the same as the other wheels, wont fit
I'm willing to swap my current wheels, they have 80% tread or better and the spare tyre is still new, also the wheels are in very good condition, if you like a pic just let me know

Cheers

Thanks all, a club member has helped out, much appreciated

G'day all, I'm after a set of oem outer low beam lights for my st204, my car wont pass rego with the HID lenses so I have to put in the originals. I'm based in Canberra and prefer an aussie seller for obviuos posting reasons, so if you can let me know on a price that would be great

Cheers

Much appreciated, I rotated 180 and LED's now work, checked the dimmer again and you are correct Noah, works with normal globes but not with the LED's, but fortunately the lighting is at a good spot, so I'm lucky there. Also I found that rebending the earth contacts on the plug helped as well and a gave them better contact with the plastic board. Thanks again for the replies

J

Just a quick question all, replaced my old cluster globes for LED's in my st204, but only the tacho is working and the dimmer for the dash lights is not working either (stays the same brightness). Any suggestions from the electrically inclined, would be greatly appreciated

I like the JDM rubber mat, do you have the link to the supplier? I have looked on ebay with no success. Just for interest, my tyres are 235/45/17, they fit well with no scrubbing and thats with a 38 offset. so if you want to go a little wider, you can :)

cheers

J

I am thinking of going in that direction as I am not a huge fan of the standard antenna, reminds me of a RC car, so that might be the go I think

G'day all, I'm after a replacement Electric Antenna for my ST204 and the gear shift surround that holds the gaiter boot in place, my clips are busted and no longer holds the boot.

Cheers

G'day all, just a quick question, tried having my wheel alignment done today, the mechanic has found the bushes on the track control arm (Toyota calls it that) are worn and need replacing, however, when trying to order these through my local parts suppliers, they are unable to find them.
Would anyone know where I can buy these in Australia? Ive tried numerous places but no luck. The Toyota part number is: 4873020210, but just the bushes not the entire rod.
My Celica is the ST204 1995 model

cheers

So a quick question, is the crank angle sensor on a 95 celica (5sfe) located at the oil pump sprocket or is that function controlled by the distributor?

J

I'll have a look Box, but would you or anyone on the forum know, where is the crank angle sensor located, or is it controlled by the distributor?

O.k, replaced with new unit, cleaned throttle body, still idles rough, and after a bit of smoke clears, it's still idling rough. When I go to start it, it seems to back fire/pressure then after second start, it goes into rough idling. It's got me stuffed as I haven't had much experience with EFI, it's almost like the distributor was moved and the timing is not quite right. Any suggestions all?
Oh, if it helps, I did a minor service, oil/filter and air filter, I also put in some injector cleaner (wynns) in the tank, maybe that has unsettled some fine matter in the tank and has blocked the EFI baskets?
Or, the only thing I can think of, would be the crank angle sensor.
J

Thanks Galco I've taken out the unit and it was pretty filthy. I ve decided to replace the IACV, with a new unit, I hope this will fix the issue.
