6G Celicas Forums

just a quick question have any of you guys actually been to Bastrop? My family owns some land down there and its not much of anything...I say you guys make it a weekend trip and goto Austin or something and do more than just drive around. Just my two cents. Also, Feb is going to be cold as balls, and isnt anywhere close to spring break. Let me just say as being from Austin there are some badass areas to drive in west austin and would be a much more worthwhile trip than good ol Bastrop. . .

This has been covered quite a few times...the basic answer is you can never really predict how much these things cost, there are tons of hidden costs and upgrades that come up as you go. Normally people spend around 3-4k on this if they do it themselves.

I would check out Superior Trading also, they are located in Houston i think and would save you some money on shipping ( you could just go pick up a clip) since your in El Paso.

officially for sale. Let me know what you guys think.

depends on how good of a build you do. If you just throw it in and dont upgrade the proper parts or take care of it, it wont last long if you just throw in a 3sgte and head to the tracks. Some guys here have been running a 3sgte for quite some time.

All the info your looking for has been discussed many times before...If you need any help or anything send me a message. Ive always wanted to be involved with a swap before, just not enough free time to do one myself.

if you see a white vert up there...its me, im the only white vert up there. Ive seen two red celicas and two black ones, just on campus though. All hatchbacks except for one black coupe.

yea those were all my thoughts on the situation as well. And I am asking the vert owners...and all the owners lol. Ill go get some pics, i figured someone would just say yea its stock in my vert and i could be done with it.

So i took my seats off and got my sub box finally out, I could never figure out why he did it the way he did it..Then I noticed these two black bars that go diagonally across the open area back there. Its hidden in the trunk by the lining and hidden behind the seats. I never knew anything about these or what they do so i dont know if its stock or not. They seem to be welded in there though... Does anyone know what these are?

any update on this? I was just wondering how your project was going or if you had kinda put it on the backburner. Im in the "research" stages of reupholstering my seats lol.

what do you mean by dark tint? Do you mean that natural darkness or did you add tint to these?

well its the 2nd to last peice of my puzzle to get my car running again..and the last peice is a passenger high beam lol. These are the only things i havent replaced yet on my car since the wreckage. All ive been able to find are people selling all their lights.

Did you figure out how to take the rear panels off on the vert? If not you have to take out the bottoms of the back seats, they should pull right out. Then there are two screws at the bottom of the panel and two more on top. One is black and the other is in the button. IF you remove all these screws the panel should slide right off (towards the front of the car)

Just so this is on record.

You should sell that vert cover...they go for like 8 million dollars.
People have created cup holders that go in replace of the cubby hole below the cd player. However if you have a double din obviously its not possible.

My vote is the backseat though. As big as I am no one fits. I removed the rear ashtray and put in another cigarette lighter type thing for car chargers, since im charging my ipod, phone etc all the time.

If Redline doesnt take the lowbeam housing or if you wanna let me pay more for it I need one of these badly... Let me know.

150 shipped for these skirts is a good deal... These look like they are in great shape and are always a tough find. Ive been looking for a pair of these for ages. Too bad I dont need them anymore...

when you say with "them" do you mean the c1 AND the bullet? I have the bullet style fenders...if you havent bought them yet you can have mine for cheap.

do you mean turn signals? Cuz those are the only things that differ. The clear turns are on 96-99 style bumper... the ones with the amber coverings are on 94-95... They also sell clear turns for the 96-99 that are purely clear instead of that fogged lines with the amber piece. Hope this helps.

So ive searched and ive searched, probably not very well, but i did it anyways.

My question is the guy who owned my vert before me put in this beefy box with a sub and the sub no longer works, i cant get to it except through the backseat and I cant figure out how to take the back seat out. Is it the same as the hatchback seat removal? Also I cant figure out how to take out the rear paneling in the vert where the speakers are placed. He disconnected them and i want to reconnect them. Im doing some audio work this week and appreciate any help.

Ill take some pics tomorrow of what i mean and keep trying...i just didnt wanna break anything and thought id ask first.

Josh.

have you thought about putting the components in the front doors and putting the tweeters in the stock location? Just a suggestion, but then you could get the tweeter covers and make it look stock, save alot of the custom work.

Shocker less is more... I would paint the stereo surround and the climate control surrounding. And then i would paint the door handle things and the air vents in the dash. MAYBE i would paint the little window/door lock relay thing in the door. Just enough to make your interior pop a little bit.

Yea that car is sweet. The only complain i have about it is that light blue interior pieces. I think it would look much better with black pieces or orange or anything other than a baby blue.

Yea but unfortunately I dont have the time or the money to finish this car so I am just going to sell it as is. There was an awful storm in Austin about a week ago though and it has some hail damage, including a spiral crack in the glass on the passsenger side. THe crack looks pretty cool, and its not the kind that will spread thank god. I had a mechanic look at it and he had a couple of things replaced and im going to put a new battery in it this weekend.

I will be going sunday to my other house where it is at and bringing it back to my house so i can get it ready to sell. I will update everyone again on the condition of it, but i just wanted to let everyone know about the storm we had...

This car needs some work, I wont lie. But i think for the money your saving on this car you could easily put the extra grand or so your saving into this car and it would flawless. If i had a grand i would totally keep it.

I will take more pictures of it Sunday...

Yea ive had my amp under my seat for like 2 years now and its never been a problem...its a 4-channel too. Its a Kenwood something or other. I have my other amp for my sub in my trunk though...

Im pretty sure i know about 50 people from Kingwood lol... It seems that my entire class at Texas Tech is from that place.

Im still holding out for the shift boot and arm rest cover combo... Would like black with white stiching? Im also interested in Curren tails, so if we could do some kinda package deal let me know!

Thanks guys, and to be honest...i know i could get more, I paid 2500 for it, and got it into a pretty good condition. Pending the painting it might go up, i think its still under warranty though. This is priced to sell though, and i think its a great deal.

As far as the JDM tails go, I did the white turn signal mod or whatever and removed the amber signal..so that would probably take some of the value away from them... but its got the tint, the paint, it has ZERO rust, and is in great condition.

To answer scandinavian_link's question, the plan right now is to sell it during the summer, I cant get it ready to sell until I go home for the summer around early May, so it should be ready at the end of may pending the amount of money I have... I still have to work out the price with my parents, but I am pretty sure they wouldnt mind taking 2000 for it.

If anyone has any other questions let me know, I will be honest with you about whatever it is that you have questions about.
