6G Celicas Forums

would that also be the case if i bought some gr-2's to go with it also?

what do u guys think about these? Celica coilovers

my cousins found someone who can sell me ones like these for pretty cheap. just need youre guyses opinions and experiences. thanx

dude i totally feel ya on that, the same thing happened to me. i was driving my friends home and peeled out in my moms accord. cops pulled me over and cited me and everything. when i went to court the judge said that the maximum fine for spinning your tires, or "exhibition of speed", is $1000 and 6 weeks in jail. luckily i just had to do 3 days of work project. the worst part about all this is that the night i got pulled over was my prom night. talk bout a night to remember.

my cars an auto so its not really that big of a deal.

iono, im thinkin of just getting some muffler thats quieter, cuz now im getting tired of the sound. its not really high pitched or anything, its really really deep. my friends thought i was driving some domestic when they first heard it. the piping though im gonna keep. any good ideas on mufflers to get?

yah i kno 3" is a lot for an st, but it really kicks @ss in the top end. before i couldnt keep up with my cousin who has a 01 v6 accord. now though im able to keep up with him through 2nd gear, after that i get my ass handed to me. my low end sucks a lot though. i have to actually press the gas whenever i back up from parking spots because otherwise i wouldnt be getting anywhere. but for all the power i think its worth it.

BTW, whenever i drive down the street i try really hard to keep the revs down. i usually go about 15 or 20 down my street. that usually keep down the muffler to a purr. even if i do that though my neighbors still give me glares. nobodys complained though, and i dont think anyone will. im pretty much known as the good kid on the block. everyone here has known me since i was little. o well

well im my celica i have a magnaflow exhaust, 3" piping, and a free flow cat. nautrally my car gets really loud, especially around 2000 to 2500 rpm. i've noticed though that my neighbors give me really mean looks whenever i drive down the street, and i have to drive all the way down the street because i live in the court at the end. has anyone been through the same problems?

good luck man and be safe

thanx for all te help u guys. i was trying to figure out why the strut brace wouldnt fit, and upon further inspection i noticed that the strut on the driver side had different welds on it then compared to the welds on the passenger side. my car is salvaged so im not reallu surprised that this happened. my guess is that the previous owner got in an accident that involved the driverside of the car smashing into somehthing. and the person who had fixed the car didnt really allign the everything as well as the factory does it. o well, thanx again u guys

hmm... well that kinda makes a lot of sense. that kinda sux though cuz i dont really have any friends that would have a welder. maybe i can find some way to get this to work. thanx a lot u guys

yah i thought the bodies were the same also. i really dont kno what to do. well my car has been in an accident before, but i really dont think that would have anything to do about it because it was nowhere near the struts. this really whomps...

its the three point brace that came off the celica gt. its not adjustable anywhere, its just a solid bar.

well i got my gt srtut brace in a few days ago, and i finally got a chance to install it today. the only problem is that it wont fit. am i doing something wrong? i thought you just take off the bolts from the strut, then place the brace over it, then put the bolts back on and put some bolts to connect it to the firewall. when i tried installing it, it was only able to fit to one of the struts. it seems like the brace is to long or something. because when i try to install the brace to the other strut there isnt enough slack because the bar keeps on hitting the firewall. any help would be appretiated. thanx u guys.

dude, just lookin at the car makes me sick. that guy must have been high on something in order to make such a nice car look so bad.

i know that the gt celica has a strut tower brace and all, but i was just wondering how good these braces in comparison to something like a cusco strut tower brace. im mainly curious because i had just ordered a gt brace for my st and i dont know if i should have gone with something else. thanx for the help u guys.

hey all, so i was reading car and driver magazine a few days back. in it it was saying all these things about double wishbone suspensions. what is that anyways? do our cars have that? what makes it better then other suspensions? well i was just hoping that some of u guys can help me calrify this for me. thanx.

dude i totally know what you mean. i could totally use the extra power from a turbo, but i just dont wanna go through the trouble of installation. and then theres ther california smog regulations that i have to go through. so from here on out im goin to focus totally on the suspension setup. the way i see it its a waste to put any more money into the 7a. i would rather spend money on upgrading the best feature of the car, the suspension. thats just me though

thats just sick...

that looks really sweet dude. congratulations. where did u get it from anyways?

ok i think i can help you out here. this is what i have learned. somebodyh correct me if im wrong though

3s= type of head
gte= turbo charged perfroamnce engine

the same thing goes for any other toyota engine. the first 2 characters denote what kind of head it is, and the last charcters denote whether the engine is an economy engine or a performance engine. the last charcters go something like this.

fe= economy engine
ge= performance engine
gze= supercharged performance engine
gte= turbocharged performance engine

hope that helps u out. anybody correct me if im wrong though

im from elk grove, about 5 minutes south of sacramento

orrite well thanx a lot u guys for the advice, i really appretiate it. and by the way the last time i went to the track was only 2 weeks ago.

ok, well i just got back from sacramento raceway. i had a good time and all, but i was really disapointed with the times i got. the last time i went there my best time was 17.58, that was with my shortram intake. now i have a cold air intake, and after a few runs my best time came out to be 17.62. can somebody help me? can it be the diameter of my intake? i am running 3" diameter on the intake pipes. if so i think im just goin to go and make one with a 2.5" diameter. what do you guys suggest?

ok well i got everything fixed with my car now. apperently the cai was just pressing against the cable leading from he throttle to the transmission. but now i have another problem. the cai woks great and everything, but it is extremely loud. im scared im gonna get pulled over or something. do u guys know of any way i can make the car a little bis softer? or should i just go back with my short ram intake?

well whenever i put it into drive it engages and everything, the only problem is that it doesnt really lock in like it should. most times it would require a some force to put it into nuetral. but now that i put on the CAI all that is needed to pop it out of drive is a little nudge.

ok well i just installed my CAI today, but im running into some problems. for some odd reason whenever i go into drive it feels really slushy and im able to pop it back out really easy. im really scared to drive my car now cuz i dont know if it's safe or not. if any of u guys can help that would be great and very much appreciated. i have an automatic ST by the way.
