6G Celicas Forums

Ok thanks for the help guys

One last question. If I put LED lights in do I have to wire them differently or are they just a direct swap from the OEM lights?

Ok thanks guys. I'm definately replacing all three bulbs while I'm in there. Not sure which color yet but your right I can't stand that ugly green.

I have the 17" Scion TC wheels on my Celica and I am not sure of the offset. The wheels look good except for they are very sucked in. I was wondering what size wheel spacers would I need to get the wheels flush. If anyone has used wheel spacers with these wheels before I would greatly appreciate a picture of how they look now.

So tonight one of the bulbs behind my guages went out and I have a few questions. What type bulb do I replace it with? I did some research and think it is a Type 194 but I'm not positive. Also if I want to upgrade to indiglo guages do I still need to get a new bulb or do they use a differnet type of lighting/bulb?

Does anyone know of a good toyota mechanic around south Atlanta that would do the swap for me?

I found an engine and tranny for $1300 shipping included so if the labor is only $500 I could pull it off.

I currently have a 95st that needs a new tranny and I would like to replace the engine as well. I am thinking about getting a 4A-GE with transmission and having it installed by a professional. I was just wondering how much this would cost and would it be possible for under 2K?

PM'd

Thanks for all the advice guys. I saw megan lowering springs on ebay but I wasn't sure if they were any good because I never heard of them. I might try them with the GR2's. Let me know how you like that setup Salica.

Thanks guys. Hard to believe the paint only cost me $500.

Here's my new paintjob I got for Christmas. Also has my new wheels and tires. What do you think.

This is the best I could do.

I would like to spend around $500. I have searched a little through the forum but not many people have tested more than one or two types of suspensions, so I don't know how reliable the info is.

I want to lower my celica but I'm not sure what to buy. I was wondering if anyone here knows a site that compares all the different lowering springs and shocks/struts. I just want to read up and make sure I get a good set up that I will like.

ok thanks guys. The reason I want the 5th gen lights is because I can't afford Wolfie's. I'll just try to use the write up and see what happens.

I've seen several posts that say 5th gen clear turns will fit on prefacelift 6th gens with a little modification. I was wondering if anyone has done this and is it hard to get them to fit and do they look good?

I didn't think about that, could look pretty good. I'll have to try that out first and see if I like it or not.

Ok thanks guys. I can use the ones I have but they are black and my new wheels are chrome.

I just bought some 17" scion wheels for my celi but they did not include lug nuts. I need to get new ones but I am not sure what size lug nut to get. Do I need celi or scion lugs?

ok thanks

What do you call the thing that is just behind the rear seats and goes over the trunk. It keeps people from being able to see through the hatchback window and into the trunk. For some reason the guy I bought my celica from did not have this piece. Also does anyone know where I could buy one other than a junkyard.

Thanks for the help guys. I finally got it to work. I switched the remote wire to a blue and white wire and what do you know it works.

You have to make a custom bracket. There are several posts on this forum that show how to do it.

hmm that is weird cause like I said I just replaced mine saturday and the 6.5" just fit right in the stock bracket no problem.
