6G Celicas Forums

Hi, I no longer own a celica. Can you delete my account or tell me how to do it? Thank you.

I bought the Haynes Repair Manual and in my opinon it is terrible. I had a question about my brake calipers and the book was wrong. The fuse/relay box layout is also wrong for my year: '99.

Any other suggestions for a good service manual for my '99 GT?

Thanks!

Yeah it was just really stuck. A hammer and screwdriver did the trick. Thanks for giving me the confidence to use a lot of force. Five years in Dayton, OH with the salty roads in the winter really does a number on your undercarriage.

Sad thing was that my Haynes manual said there were two bolts on the rear calipers when there is only one.

Also, the passenger side pads were down to almost nothing but the driver side was still useable but I changed them anyways. Is that because that's where the e-break is? If it is I didn't see it, but then again I don't really know what I'm looking for. As you can tell I'm a total noob on this kind of thing.

If anyone needs to do the same thing don't forget a c-clamp. Can't do this without one.

Hey guys,

I just tried to swap out my rear break pads on my '99 GT. I removed the only bolt on the caliper and from what I've read from other threads the caliper was just supposed to swing up but it didn't even with a considerable amount of force.

What am I doing wrong?

Can I see a picture of what you have before I decide to buy it off you?

Thanks!

I still have the actual door since it broke off as I was opening it so I won't need to pay repainting costs.

I think I found the part and it costs about $40 not including S&H for the entire assembly.

Just to wrap this thread up.....2 years later

I had to shave some of the rubber off the bottom of the antenna so that the male piece would reach the female. Then I used locktite.

Has worked and looked great ever since.

waddup guys,

Anyone know the part number for the gas tank door assembly?

The metal bracket that screws into the quarter panel is what broke but apparently you have to buy the whole package to get the bracket...

I called a salvage yard and they wouldn't sell me just the bracket. Anyone know if it's the same part on other Toyotas? Anyone have an extra one I could buy?

Well I got it all installed and bought the antenna from the Honda dealership and the freaking thing doesn't fit!

The male part is too small for the hole.

Now what?

I've read conflicting posts about this mod.

Some people say you only need this part....

But others have said you also need this one....

Who is right?

Well if I can safely say that the EGR system has been degraded because of the oil gel then they have to fix that too.

I got this letter in the mail saying that there's been a class action settlement allowing free service to fix the oil gel problem that a lot of Toyota's had between 1997-2002. My '99 celica falls into this category and has the symptoms: excessive oil consumption, blue smoke.

Question is my EGR Valve or filter needs to be replaced. Could this have been caused by the oil gel problem? What is the normal life span of an EGR valve or filter?

so what's the difference



why, do you have a tacoma?

It's a GT. Did they even make an ST in '99? I thought I remember someone saying that.

i don't know much about cars so here goes my noob question

ST stands for super turbo and GT stands for Gas Turbine?

it's a manual transmission also

thx man, i actually plan on selling it sometime soon

if you notice all the snow in the background I got snowed in so I'm thinking about getting a Tacoma

well i guess i f'd up the sizing

it's so big you can probably read the VIN!

I got a note on my car to come check out this site so here I am

Howdy!

Here's my car (hopefully I'm doing this right)
