6G Celicas Forums

Hello--I've been planning to get another Celica, but that may not happen in the near future. I've been hanging on to these tires/wheels that I had on my previous car, and I might as well try to sell them at this point since I don't have a Celica right now.

The wheels are Ray's Volk Racing AV3, size 17x7, +37mm offset, 5x100 bolt pattern from Japan. The center 5-spokes are silver and the lip is polished. They are a true 2-piece wheel which means the center "stars" can be removed. There are actually two sets of bolt holes, but both patterns are still 5x100 by design. Also included are the OEM center caps, valve stems, and Volk valve stem caps (blue). I am also including a set of "tuner" style locking lug nuts and key. These wheels were over $500 a piece when new. They are in nice shape. There is one small ding in the inside lip of one of the wheels, not visible when the wheels are installed on the car. The last picture below shows the ding at the top of the wheel (12 o'clock position).

The tires are Yokohama S.Drive 215/40R17 and have about 90% tread remaining and are in great shape, no uneven wear. The tires are currently still mounted and balanced on the wheels and balanced about 1500 miles ago by Tires Plus. The tires alone are $99 a piece on tirerack.com plus shipping.

As a whole package (tires, wheels, lug nuts, etc...), the price is $850 plus shipping in the U.S. lower 48 states. But if there is interest, I will sell the set of tires separate from the wheels. If you would like to buy just the tires, it would be $300 plus shipping. The wheels (and related accessories) would be $550 plus shipping. PM's are the best way to reach me.

Below are pics:

radio acquired, thanks!

No longer searching

I'm looking for either an aftermarket or stock CD player/radio. Can be single or double din (such as the stock CD/cassette/radio). I'm not looking for anything high end. In fact, I'm looking for the opposite. Just looking for something that works to put in a beater vehicle. Please PM me if you have anything.

tires/wheels have been sold.

Bump during a good old fashioned Minnesota blizzard!

just let me know if you end up being interested.




I sent you an E-mail just now. Since you are NOT all the way across the country, shipping will be a bit cheaper for you. I will need your full address to get an accurate quote, and if you can give me a business address, it will also reduce the cost. Check your E-mail and we can discuss more details offline. Either way, don't go in the ditch!

No problem, just PM me if you are interested. I think I even have a set of lug nuts if you need them.

You are wrong about the EGR--USDM 3SGTE's have EGR (I've owned 2 all-tracs). It's the JDM versions that do not. The JDM intakes do not even have the holes drilled into the intake to be able to bolt EGR up to it--a USDM intake must be used. That being said, it is popular for people to remove EGR on a USDM car and just install block off plates.

If anything, it would be illegal to drop a motor in a car that is older than the car it is going in to. Normally, only a same year or newer motor is considered a legal swap. I believe this was federal regulation at one point, e.g. not at the State level, but I don't know if or how the rule exists today.

seats are sold.

as of 10-24-08, all seat stuff is pending being sold. I will update the thread if the status changes (e.g. officially sold).

Sold the brake shoes and hardware kit to Muggs (thanks!). The brake cable and Clarion head unit are still available.

I've found a set of wheels and am no longer searching.


I'm looking for a set of stock steel 15" wheels that I can use for a set of snow tires. I will not be able to use 14's. Please PM me if you have anything. I'll consider alloys, but I'm not looking for anything fancy or expensive for this. If the wheels need to be shipped, just calculate the cost for slapping a label right on each wheel and shipping as-is.

Sure, we could do something like that again. Granted, shipping would likely be pretty cheap since you are only 2 hours away. If you want to PM me your zip, I can check what it would be.

Hello,

I've got a new, still in box, parking brake cable section. This is the section that connects right at the handle (e.g. not the cables at the wheels). The price is $40 and shipping in the U.S. 48 states will be $4.50. Pictures are below--though I sold the other brake parts pictured and do not have any other brake parts besides this cable.

Also available is a Clarion ADB340MP double-din head unit with CD/MP3/cassette/AM/FM 50x4 watts with an RCA input and output, with harness. The RCA input is nice because you can hook up a "mini-headphone-to-dual-RCA" plug (Radio Shack etc...) and hook your iPod or other player up to it (does not control the player though). which is only a few years old. The model # is ADB340MP. This unit works well and includes the owner's manual. New, these units are still selling for about $229+ new or $189 refurbished plus shipping. Mine is NOT a refurb. My price is $120 shipped in the lower U.S. 48 states.










Thanks!

Yes, $350 for everything and pickup would be just fine. There is someone ahead of you that says they want them, but feel free to check back at the end of the week in case the other deal falls through.

Unless there is a buyer for just the back seat, I won't be parting out the seats. The shipping costs are in the first post. And to further add to it, the max anyone will get charged is $45 per seat, and if it ends up being less than that, I will refund the difference. These items are simply too large and bulky to box up in different combinations to get unique shipping costs for every situation (I've been asked about front seats only, back seats only, one headrest only, both headrests, just the front cushions, just the leather covers, seats without brackets, just the seat brackets, one seat, part of the rear seat, and etc....).

The tires and wheels have been sold.

I've got 4 near new Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 snow tires (less than 1,000 miles) mounted on stock 14" steel wheels fort sale. These are probably better for a local sale but figured I'd try here anyway. I used these on a '95 ST I used to have and I was hoping to use these on my all-trac but they hit the dust shields (the all-trac has 15" wheels). The tires are in basically new condition. I would prefer to find someone local (I'm 2 hours north of Minneapolis/St. Paul), but the chances of that are pretty slim. So if you want these shipped, shipping is roughly going to be about $25 per tire wheel. I will not separate. The price is $300 for four near new snow tires mounted and balanced on stock steel wheels. Lowballers will be ignored.

This is roughly your seventh "for sale or trade" post regarding a Hiro spoiler in the last few months. Do you have numerous Hiro spoilers for sale? If not, quit starting new posts.

Really???

I'm talking about any cars, trucks, SUV's anything in the Automobiles for sale section. There are literally about 6 in there a day now for the passed 2 weeks. I used to see hundreds of cars a day (obviously, more than just 6GC's). Even if I do a search, it won't bring anything up that may be hiding.

Well that's interesting. I think I just figured it out. I had the car and truck section of craigslist bookmarked for a long time, so I could just jump right to that section. Well, if I go to my bookmark, teh link is:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/

But if I "manually" go to craigslist by typing the main URL into my browser, then selecting the Car+Truck link, then I get this link:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/cta/

So at some point, someone changed the link! I had the car and truck section bookmarked on two different computers on two different ISP's in two different cities and states and couldn't figure out what on earth was going on..... until now.... I'll bet if you click on my first link above, you'll see what I've been seeing for the passed couple of weeks.....

If this is the light I am thinking of (based on a Camry that had it), it means you have a bulb out in the rear, either a brake light or a tail light. Does the light look like the image of a car with lines behind it that could either look like it's driving really fast or that the back is shining? If yes, check your rear bulbs (tail lights and brake lights).

Where are you seeing (any) cars on craigslist lately? For the last 2 weeks or so, I'm lucky to see 6 cars of any kind posted per day on the MPLS/St. Paul craigslist. The auto parts section seems to work ok for me, but the actual cars section isn't working right (at least for me).

Could be a wheel bearing and could also be brake pads. Usually, a wheel bearing will make a grinding/growling noise when it's gone bad. You may not hear it at all while driving straight, but when you turn you can hear it. The harder you turn (and put the weight of the car on that side's wheels) the louder the noise.

I heard strange noises on one of my previous celicas, and it turned out to be worn brake pads. The squeaker bar built into the pads had broken off so I never heard the traditional squeak (but this may be what you are hearing). But while braking, I would not hear any noise. When I drove, and often while turning, I would hear rubbing noises. One pad on each front caliper had worn mostly down to metal and that metal was occassionally hitting the rotor and making noise.

The best thing for you to do is block the rear wheels (set the parking brake if it works), jack a front wheel up, put the transmission in neutral, and try spinning the wheel and shaking it to see if anything is loose. Then, put the transmission back in gear and remove the wheel to inspect the brake pads and rotor surfaces.

That being said, it could also just be a loose belt (though there usually would be squeaking in both direcxtions).
