6G Celicas Forums

I bought the car back from my brother - 6g96gt. The are definitely the stage one colt cams. I'll do what I can to help you out. Send me what you need him to answer and I'll get it from him.

thanks guys. I'm definitely leaning towards it. I have to call them to see if the offer the roof spoiler as an option. I haven't seen 1 like that before. I use to have the jdm plastic 1 you can see through. Then I ended up ripping it off when the screws rusted straight threw.

I do like it. I found it on www.madmotors.co.uk and they ship to the states. My only hesitation are the sides. They just don't fit right in my opinion. That is why I was thinking GT4 - they look lower t me.
Thanks for the info though. I'm going to mull it over a little more.

Hey guys I've been thinking about possibly doing a gt4 hybrid, but then I came across this. What do you think? It almost gives the celica a more modern (today) look. I think.







The only thing I don't like are the side skirts. I think I would go GT4 for that.

I think that is a matter of taste. Personally I like the coupe better, so I would say to go with the coupe. Plus it may not have hit a deer and compromised the cars structural integrity. If you like the convertible better and the car is fine after the fix then stay with it.

I checked it out yesterday. I had to re-torque my new wheels. So far it looks good, everything was nice and tight. I'm now thinking that it has something to do with the should strap of the seat belt. Sounds like it's right in that area. I'm going to strip the whole back out of it this Friday. Hopefully I'll find it then.

I haven't check them yet. but I definitely will. thanks.

Nice car. Looks real clean.

Let me know how it turns out. I can't get to it until next week. I had a mechanic check out the whole car and he has no clue either.

checked it and it al looks good. This is driving me nuts. It sounds like something broke off above the rear speaker. the car is clean and everything is tight. I'm going to have to rip all the panels off and probably the rear seat too.
Thanks guys. If I figure this one out, I'll let you know what it was.

The bushings are only a few months old, but I'll check them out. It sounds like it's coming from inside the body. I removed all the panels and found nothing. Just thought I was looking in the wrong spot.
Thanks again. I'll check those 2 things out.

Wow so I guess this is not a common issue

Hey guys. I just bought back my old celica and have been busy working on it. The exhaust was so loud on this beast that I couldn't hear the rattle until I just replaced my Hi-flo cat with a new quieter and deeper sounding one. Now I can here myself think.

This is the problem - I have a rattle coming from the rear passenger side. I thought it was the hatch - it is not. It is not anywhere in the trunk area. I've narrowed it down to somewhere between the b-pillar and below the rear quarter window. Any thoughts? It is driving me NUTS. I can only here it when I hit a bump. It sounds like the hatch is shaking. But it is not the hatch.

I hope 1 of you knows exactly what it is. thanks.

What?!? Then I want the cams! So NO upgrading the fuel management or head internals??

Thanks for the info...that's exactly what I was looking for. I think I'll re-think those cams afterall because I really don't want to go and up the fuel system and head. I'll just stick to the port/polish/header and quick tune for a/f. THANKS!!!

The other posts have touched upon the subject but haven't answered my questions sufficiently enough. Fuel management...no one has answered that questions nor has anyone answered the question about head work and springs or valves.

I want to get those web cams everyone is touching on...so i send my cams out to get reground to the 294s??? Both of them? Or like one's a 272 and the other is 294? What about head work? Do I need to upgrade the springs or valves or fuel management or anything at all? Please give me some advice guys cause I'm about to start the build soon.

what about castrol GTX 10w 40?? Is that good for celicas? I use it on my other ride.

HKS 264 intake/ 272 exhaust (it will give you more power all throughout the power band). Might need new springs though (stiffer) and maybe better valves...oh yeah, what about fuel management and then tuning??

do a boost leak test to see where the leak is if there is one...gotta be a pretty big leak though if you have "no" boost. Other than that, maybe the turbo's gone.

spray some sea foam in there to see if it bubbles out of the suspected crack...if there is one, you'll see it. I recently cracked my exhaust mani for my talon. It had a tick, tick, tick though kinda sound.

man, that's exactly what I'm interested in...but then I read on and you haven't done it yet...I wish you would've done it and then asked if we were interested in it. My heart jumped for a sec and then it fell hard man.

.8mm

I'm just doing this one for the gas mileage and safe dependability. I'm not looking for some nasty power, I got my talon for that eh heh heh...but these celicas are pretty fun to drive, I was instantly drawn to it when I first drove it.



Talon's got hks cams 264/272...forged pistons...port/polish/shaved head...big 16g turbo...rechipped ecu and dsmlink tuned...balanced/polished crank and acl rod/main bearings...shaved/bored block...full exhaust 2.5" front to back with 3" muffler...K&N intake...750cc fuel injectors...etc, etc...

What if I have to rebuild it and they bore and hone it for the new pistons? Is that going to be ok?
