Hello guys,

Just let you know that the Celica Club Cyprus will make the 3rd meeting for this year and we will travel to another town named Pafos.
More than 100 cars (143 car members) will be with us so if anybody reading this and its not members send me an email at : magikos7@hotmail.com.
We will let you know how this went.

Thanks

Hello,

Just installed HKS heades and HKS Super silent Exhaust on my car.
Also Tein Coilovers installed.
I upload few pics.

Check them out.

I think the problem is on the weight!!!The CRX is not so fast but its very light,it has nothing to do with the driving

Nice pics but i like more the one that you can see the back of the car

ITS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!

Yes my brother GT-4 and my SS2 are 180KPH Limited

So small island but TOOOOO Many Celicas,right maikl???

I think you should find out what you want to do(boost) and later you can add the oil cooler.The priority for you should be the builting of the engine around the turbo and you can add later those things But always an oil cooler for turbo engines is a good option

M8 i think its tooooooo much;)......

He was just lucky that he didnt had any problems with the WRX but believe me,its a matter of time for something to start ticking
Also another thing i notice today with the GT-4,the AWD of GT-4 has nothing to do with Subaru AWD,when i`m turning and i`m on boost the Rear wheels push hard,its somehow intelligent how it works for the WRX wasnt like this.

Yes!!!!!I went to a car wash,left my car and after 1 hour i was driving throw there and i saw a COOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Black GT-4 and i start wondering how lucky is the bastard owner!!!...

If you thinking to buy cams choose them for daily driving (stage1 or stage2) and i recommend valve springs and retainers,also if you dont have metal gasket go for it and polish the port.Then upgrade the ECU and also a VAFC will be nice and later go for the intake monifold.

It should be the same,but if you are planning to modify the internals why dont you go for aftermarket performance parts?I mean not Toyota parts.

Peace

Nice Pics and great color,trust me "MAGE" YOU DONT WONT TO GO FOR THE WRX...stay out of troubles(i moved from WRX to GT-4)

Not i used to have a prelude(Skunk2 camshafts etc a lot of mods),then i bought a WRX Version 4 Subaru and i sold it for a GT-4!!!The car has 42k kms,its black and wild.I will install at Monday the HKS TUrbo timer and the boost gauge from my WRX.Does really need oil cooler or not?Beacuse here at my country the weather is really hot,what oil you suggest using for the GT-4?For the WRX i was using Castrol GTX 10-40.But guys ITS A HEAVY CAR!!!!!!!!When i went for the Test Drive i was feeling the weight so much(WRX was 1250kg),and the guy from the dealer told me that GT-4s are 1400kg,is that true?What about intake(air flow system)?What you suggesting?

Thank you for your replies

Hello again,
Well finally didnt got the SS3 BUT i got the GT-4 sooooooooo, i have to start from Somewhere,I sold my WRX and i`m getting my new GT-4 next week and i`ll put my WRX stuff on it (HKS SSQBOV,HKS Turbo timer and Boost Pressure cauge),but what you guys recommend for the GT-4 first to be upgrade?For the WRx they used to said for sure you need OIL COOLER,what about the GT-4?I`m talking of course about safety first and then performance,and also what you suggest for Performance.

Thank you

Grade 4.5 is the rating of the condition of the car lets say 0 the car has accident 1 accident and repaired 2 lot of scratches(not in good condition) 3 small scratches but in very good condition grade 4 very good condition and 5 ecxellent condition. I will send a fax tomorrow then and i `ll ask them about the car.
I`m getting car from Japan beacuse are cheap,its not easy to buy a new celica or a new WRX or a new prelude.
Wrx seems to be a very sensitive car,its fast but its not reliable and i know that Celicas are reliable from my brother beacuse he owns one for almost 3 years and he is giving so much pressure to the car with no problems.WRX ARE ****.
No i its not the same dealer.

What i mean is that i took the Chassis Number from the dealer but he dont give me the auction paper of the car so i have to find out by myself the history of the car.The dealer told to me that the car was bought in auction at Grade 4.5 but who trust him?All my previous cars was imported from Japan and i`m very sorry that my last one Subaru WRX broke after 6 months of use.I found also the company won the car at the auction but they dont have details for what they selling on the web,do you think i should send them a fax?

Hello again...Today a car dealer imported a Celica SS3 manual 98 i went and i check it and the car looks fine but how can i find out the history of the car?I also go the chassis number,can somebody help me?

Thank you again for your post wst-minist and i checked the urls you gave to me but only todaracing and junauto links work.Maybe i`m not expert at stressful engines but i think i know some basic things checking the oil 2-3 times a week not moving the car before waarm up etc but boxer(wrx) engine its so sensitive that it doesnt worth it.I`ll make a better research about the SS3 and i think soon i`ll be a member of 6gc.net I trust celicas very much,more than hondas.
If you have any other links for modifications and appearance please send them to me.
Thank you.

I only have HKS SSQBV ,SARD Air filter and Greddy PE Catback Exchaust nothing more and i was pushing the WRX only until 6000RPM NOT MORE,never.My prelude was hitting 9600 and sometimes 9800 RPM(with Skunk2 camshafts and valvetrain upgrade) but stock was running at 7800RPM and was fine for 5 years and believe me i was driving this car like mad i upgrade everything on it,and also my brother`s Celica SS2 i`m pushing it almost until 7000RPM and its perfect but listen this, i was thinking to keep the WRX and upgrade the stroker kit with JUN and make it 2.2 but what for?Lets say it i`ll keep working for 12 months?18 months without problem?I dont think so,everybody tha gots WRX its trying to sell it beacuse if they dont have problems with engines they have with gearbox.I know about the GT4 and an import dealer near to my town he is selling one(white color) with body kit,the car its a beauty but what is worrying me its the Turbo.Something else that its worrying me about the Celica is that you cannot find easy aftermarket performance parts like the Hondas or WRX what do you think about that?This is worrying me beacuse i love to upgrade my cars for some extra hp.How much do you think i can push the SSIII?Is there ECUs or camshafts?What you suggest?

I dont want to go for a Turbo again,i already had enough problems with the WRX,I know WRX is VERY FAST car you only put exchaust system and air filter and you easily notice the different BUT its not reliable,i have this car for 6 months and before few weeks ago i heard a rattle in the engine and the engineer said its a problem with the 3rd piston.The car is still working fine and still have FULL boost but it rattles at 3500 rpms so i dont want to go for Turbo anymore and i`m trying to sell it.I was thinking to repair it and keep it but i`m watching my brothers 6g Celica he is driving the car for almost 3 years now and ITS TROUBLE FREE!Even my Prelude wasnt so reliable than the Celica.I`m really confused about cars(i`m driving fast cars for over 6 years now) but WRX REALLY SUCKS i prefer reliability than performance.I`m thinking to get a natural inspired car now and i`m in the middle of RSX and SSIII.

Hello....My brother its been a member of 6gc.net and i like very much the site and i`m watching almost all the topics.My brother has Celica 96 SSII JDM Specs imported from Japan.My first car was a 94 Honda Prelude 2.2 Vtec JDM with A LOT of mods and my current car is a 97 Subaru WRX JDM.I`m planning to get a 99 CELICA SSIII VVT-i JDM those days(i recently blow up my WRX Engine) and i`m looking for a reliable car like Celica.I found 99 Celica SSIII and i will check it again at tomorrow and i want to ask if somebody can compare it with Honda RSX or ever race one RSX.

Thank you very much
