I say you got a good deal then. The rear strut bar was exclusive to the GT-Four though I want to say, so of course it'll be more expensive. Yeah tell me about it i got mines for 90 bucks and it came with the leather protector. But I'm not doing nothing to that one since it got that leather feature. |

Ahh ok. So there you go. I thought there was something about the TRD 3-point and the intercooler, but at the same time I remembered there was one that would clear. Though at the same time, be careful in the future not to pay more just because it's a "GT-Four" or "SS" part when a regular GT had the same thing. Actually i didn't pay much theres ones on Ebay that go for $90 to $100 dollars i got mines for 30 so didn't pay much and the TRD strut bar is the one with the 3 Point . i just called it GTFour since is the one that comes with it. And i didnt know the GT came with it ![]() |

My celica Got back Yesterday nothing serious it was just one wire that was on the relay box. Thanks to all of those who told me possible things that could of started the problem. So one day while browsing for Celica parts i came a cross on a pair of Curren Headlights: ![]() But they are not any Curren headlights they are a rare kouki dark tint Curren headlights. still looking for more parts to make the Curren conversion. Once i got my new radio/DvD player on i wanted to make my console look different and unique and with the help of one of my friends we Carbon Fiber wrapped it: ![]() And heres a little video of my celica and a few other celicas: Toyota Celica Meet |

Hopefully it's something simple and the engine didn't suffer any damage. Aluminum heads don't like overheating at all. Well the engine is fine it didn't heat up all the way i tried to contain it by using the air system thats how i noticed that both fans where not working. but the engine didn't suffer any damage |

Though there'd have to be a reason for the fuses to blow in the fashion they did. They'd have to been overloaded quite significantly to throw smoke. Could be as simple as someone used way too low of an amperage fuse, that or the motors shorted out. Yeah it's weird but I'll get to the bottom of the problem . |

Sounds more like an electrical issue involving the fuses to me rather than the radiator failing. If you were in stop and go traffic in the city with no direct air on through to the radiator it would start climbing with the temp due to your fans not running. It's amazing how much they keep the motor in check with the temp. Which fuse boxes smoked out on you? Both the relay box on the engine bay and the fuses that are on the drivers side they both started to smoke. The relay box has two fuses for fans and the drivers side underhood fuse box has one, so its very possible that it burnt out those fuses. give all the fuses a look though to see if anything else could have burnt out. Quite possible though once you replace any bad fuses that it will fix your issue. Did you have a chance to check the radiator yet? The radiator is fine, I'll check the fuses to see how they are thanks for the recommendation. |

The radiators are notorious for cracking due to age, so maybe you lucked out and that's it. If it were the fans it would've taken some time for it to overheat and you would've noticed the temp climbing. When mine cracked there was a large amount of steam and the temp gauge indicated it was overheating, even though I know it didn't because it happened when the car wasn't even running and I was listening to the radio. It sounds like coolant found its way into the fuse and relay boxes, will just have to check things out with a multimeter. Yeah it was really weird tho since it was working fine the day before that. ![]() |
