TTT

I still have the hood. So there is no confusion this will fit any 94-99 Celica, except GT4, and it uses the stock hood latch.

VIS Zyclone Carbon Fiber Hood Painted Red. Needs refinishing. $150 prefer local pick up

If you want me to ship my zip is 93534, or for my local greyhound 93550,
The measurements of the hood are roughly as follows. 55"x50"x4" and the weight is around 15 lbs. I do not have a box to ship it in, so... kindasad.gif that would be in addition to shipping as well.

Some underside pics of the hood.

I wish you were willing to ship the hood greyhound...


i might be willing to in a few days as i really have no use for it, packaging so it doesn't get damaged could be a problem, but greyhound is pretty affordable too. i'll check with my local greyhound and find out more details after the weekend.

Bringing this thread back from the dead.

See first post in thread please. smile.gif

It's been a few years since i came on here.

I just moved back to my hometown and parts that i thought had sold are still in my family's backyard. I don't need them and could use the cash, so back to the forum I came.

To clarify the parts i still have are: Replica TRD splitters and a CF VIS Zyclone Hood


I will be checking back on here occasionally. I'll give it a week for any potential local people to pick up before I am willing to ship out.

Email me for quickest response.

My celica was recently made a total loss due to vandalism so i'm bringing this thread back from the dead.

Still Have..
1)17" Konig Theory rims Graphite w/Polished lip (Needs tires)
$300 OBO for local pick up.
2)VIS Zyclone Carbon Fiber Hood Painted Red $200 local pick up only
3)TRD Replica Front and Rear Splitters Also Painted Red. Rear are damaged but easily repaired at a body shop or for someone with fiberglass exp. $200 shipped for all 4 or $120 for Front and $80 for Rear
4)OEM JDM ST205 Taillights $150 shipped
5)Autometer 52mm CF Air/Fuel Guage and Greddy Guage Pod and Greddy 60mm Electric Oil Pressure guage all 3 for $50 plus shipping
Greddy Guage is not in the prettiest condition but works.
The Greddy Pod was $30 so you get the guage for $20 which is a great deal.

Willing to ship rims and hood but prefer not too due to annoyance of packaging.

What playr158 said...


My suggestions are to ensure that the title is clear and in the person who you are buying the bike from's name. Stay away from a salvaged bike in spite of what the alleged cause of the loss was. You never know what problems you could be getting into with a salvaged bike.
Learn the controls and make sure all electrical controls work.

A few weeks ago I took the MSF course in order to waive the riding test at the DMV and highly encourage anyone who wants to ride a motorcycle or who even has an interest in riding to take the class.

I am not a huge guy but at 6'1 i felt uncomfortable on the little Ninja 250's we had in class so i rode the cruisers instead. I felt a lot more comfortable on my friend's 2002 Honda CBR 600 F4i, which i have been riding around a little bit here and there for the past few months, and am actually highly considering one as a first bike for myself. My intentions are to ride track mostly(after classes) and occasional highway to my parent's house(100+miles away) so a 250 doesn't really suit my needs as sufficiently as a 600 would. The Suzuki gs500f and Kawasaki Ninja 650r are also 2 bikes i am considering.

Here is a forum that has a lot of the questions that you might have and has them answered already Sportbikes.net I suggest that you read most of the stickies.

I apologize yet again but there are a lot of things going on in my life right now and trying to make a priority out of selling these parts right now is proving to be very difficult.

I will most likely be replying to PM's i have recieved before PMing those with requests in this thread. I will not be accepting any money from anyone until i have ensured that i will be selling the parts and have sufficient time to ship the items out as well.


As far as the car i suppose i would like to hear some offers of the value of it in this thread. I am merely trying to get an idea at this point. I know KBB says around 3200. But i'd also like to hear some other perspectives.

One detail on the car that i think would make a it a prime candidate for any swap is the fact that i have taken steps to ensure that the car is smog exempt in the state of california. I will not be openly discussing the route i took to accomplish this. But i assure that the car is smog exempt.

I had planned to take advantage of this but i have grown tired of the fact that everytime that i save up for the swap that i want to do, something else in my life complicates things(school, family, housing changes, etc).

Car has around 145k miles and the engine is at about 70k if that makes a difference.

i wish my girl would let me get a bike.


my girl is taking the msf courses with me biggrin.gif

try talking her into getting one for herself. show her one in her favorite color and tell her about the matching gear and stuff and she'll see it as an accessory.. kind of like a big coach handbag(about the same price as some too laugh.gif ). I've also heard that the ladies like the rumble of the seat for some strange reason.

So, you have an st with a 7AFE alreaedy in it and want to install a 5sfe?

If so, that is pretty much a pointless swap. If you found a mint corolla engine it wouldn't be a 5sfe anyways.... i am just confused with what you are asking. I think you need to do more research or to edit your post.

To answer the question if the 7afe transmission would work on a 5sfe the answer is.. No it wil not. They are two completely different configurations

If you search and there are too many results, refine your search. This question has been asked several times.

take into account the cost of supplies and make your decision on which place will deal with you the best if there is still a problem. I think $350 sounds about right for changing out the clutch and stuffs. $425 is steep but Aamco is a big company and generally they do good work as far as i've seen. My clutch cost me the same price as having someone else install the cheap autozone one but i love the way it feels.

Your synchros shouldn't be bad if there werent problems with shifting before you had the problems with getting it into gear at all. A way to check if you've ground anything up in the tranny is to change your fluid and see if there are any metal shavings/chunks/etc.. there's a how to on here somewhere for it. If you have a shop manual for your car it might have a section for helping you troubleshoot the problem as well. If you have any questions I'll try my best to help you out.

i was either thinking the f4i or the 650r would make a better starter. I plan on buying used mostly because i know i will most likely be clumsy and drop it at some point. thanks for the link.

As far as gear: I plan on riding in board shorts, no shirt, no helmet and sandals. biggrin.gif

One of my friends told me its better to dress for the worst case scenario because if sh*t happens its better to have taken all the proper precautions and get hurt instead of ending up dead or living off of machines for the rest of your life.

Did the MSF course help you with learning?

I have recently decided to get rid of my sixth gen and get a bike instead for personal reasons. I have narrowed down my choices and feel that i have a few different options for a first bike.

CBR 600 F4i(108BHP), Kawasaki Ninja 650R(73BHP), Suzuki GS500F(44BHP) or if i can find one in my price range an R6(120BHP) but i'm pretty sure that'd be a bit too much power.

Seeing as i am a newcomer to sportbikes I want a bike that is pretty easy to learn all the basics on and then even improve upon. I've already scheduled my motorcycle safety course and have been studying the handbook from the DMV to take my test in the following week.

On another forum called sportbikes.net they seem to think that the 2008 Ninja 250R(23BHP) is a great bike for any beginner and that it is pretty much the be all end all of beginner bikes. I've sat on the 250r at a local dealership and its pretty fricking small. Also not to mention these bikes are as expensive as the other options and harder to find. I'm not a huge guy but i'm 6'1" and 225 lbs. A few of the 600's feel kind of small to me too, but not as bad as the 250.

My question is, Is there anyone on this forum that is rougly the same size as me who does ride streetbikes? If so, what did you start out on and how easy was it to improve your skills? Any helpful input is welcome.

Also. Are there any motorcycle forums that you post on where i could find information as easily as 6gc.net or that have a nice community?

i kept my stock ones for the longest time until i bought coilovers. but now it doesnt matter. the ride was ok for a while and then got pretty bad after about six months. the stock shocks just cant handle being that low.

Sounds like the clutch to me too

do you feel confident doing that much work yourself? if not you should definitely take the car to a transmission repair shop and let them do it. and while they are replacing the clutch,pressure plate, and throw out bearing as well as getting the flywheel resurfaced, the rear main seal on the engine should be looked at too since you don't get in there often and the car is 11 years old. something else to look at are the inner axle shaft seals on the transmission might, they need to be replaced as well.

It's kind of a pain dropping the tranny out by yourself. i just dropped it down on my chest with one arm and using the other to wiggle the thing off the crankshaft, it only weighs about 75lbs. i wouldnt reccomend that technique either laugh.gif . It took me about 1hr 45 min to pull the whole thing out. Took a lot longer to go back in though.

Personally i would of rather paid someone to do it or had someone at least help but i had no other option. I had to replace the whole transmission due to the popout i kept getting in 5th gear. So replacing the clutch was kind of a bonus for me.

If you are mechanically inclined and have some good help from friends or family i'd suggest that you do it yourself, otherwise take it to someone who does it for a living.

w0000t tanabe makes spinners.

i think i'm about to roll out on some of those.

i too have the DF210's. i've had them on for about two and a half years. if you get them upgrade your shocks for sure. mine went out not too long after the install. i wouldnt recomend KYB's because they are just an oem replacement. Koni adjustable's or bilstein's would be my only two options.
