Thanks, guys. I was hoping to try getting it done on my Christmas break.

Hey folks. I have a 96 St (decently modified). Had somebody back into her parked in front of the house and mess up the fenders. I have since ordered and received some VIS fenders. Anyone know where I can get schematics or something detailing how to change them myself?

Ok. I own a 1996 Celica ST that I've been doing work to for a couple of years now. I just had to replace a hub bearing a few weeks ago. Well, a similar but much worse noise was back so I took my car to the shop last week. They told me that the spindle for the hub bearing was now going bad. I asked him how much that would be and his answer was "I don't know right off, but the problem is going to be FINDING one". Obviously I didn't care for the sound of that. Do any of you have any advice to give here. I don't want to have to park my Celica. Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok, so here's the deal. You guys (and girls, of course) have already been very helpful. I want your advice on something else.

My next thoughts as far as performance upgrades were along these lines...
- JDM Headers
- Clutchmaster Stage 2 Clutch
- Eibach suspension

I plan on doing the headers first bc that is the only part of the exhaust package on mine that isn't already performance. Would any of you advise doing one of the others first? Or would any of you advise doing first an upgrade I've not listed? Not a barn-burner here, I'm not a COMPLETE ameature to import tuning, just wanting to see you all agreed or disagreed.

Thanks again
David

First off, welcome to the site!

If you have an Autozone nearby, they can run a diagnostic on your car for free to see if there are any codes being thrown. If you've just recently bought your car, my initial guess is that you will have a CEL code and whoever sold you the car took the bulb out of the gauge behind the CEL icon to hide that fact. I know that's a grim and pessimistic assessment, but considering that particular bulb sees maybe 3 seconds of use a day, it's not a likely one to burn out.

The bulb type is 74, an easy to find size that is available in any store that sells automotive replacement bulbs. If you can't get your OBD2 read, try first replacing the bulb (use the search for instructions on how to remove your instrument cluster - it's intimidating at first but super easy to do) and see if the light stays on or not.


thanks, I guess I should have mentioned all that, lol. I had already gone the route of checking the diagnostics of the car, and have long sinced fixed the problem ( i had an o2 sensor out). So there aren't any more codes being thrown. I've had the car almost 2 yrs now and have had it inspected before. A few different people were telling me it was probably the bulb out. I wanted to check with the collective knowledge that you all represent to see if this situation was common. I do appreciate all the help.

And thanks to all for the welcome comments.
If needed, I'm here

Hello All. I am new to this site. Just found it the other day, but am thoroughly impressed already. I don't know if this is the right place in the forums for this post.... If not, I apologize, but I was lookng for some help.

My check engine light will not come on at all. Even when I crank the car up, it doesn't even flash. Hence, my car fails inspection automatically. Have any of you had a similar problem with your celicas? Any feed back would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you
