Sup 6gc, so here's what I'm worrying about, my ceica is near hitting the 220k mileage mark soon. Was wondering what can I do to make sure it will run strong/well for anther 150k. Some of you well advise a swap, but I really don't have any time or tools for a swap. So is there any advice, I'm welling open to anything. Oh yeah I'm on a tight buget too.
ok here's the specs/mods of the car: 1996 Toyota Celica St 1.8L 7a-fe 16valve 215,xxx miles KYB strutt/shocks all around N1 style exhaust Short ram intake 17in TSW Revo, but is sitting on 14's for now 4-2-1 headers .................... Thats pretty much it. |

Do the basic maintenance- timing belt, water pump, oil pump, all the seals, new plugs and wires, new distributor, and regular oil changes, She'll run forever.

Just keep up with the regular maintenance. If you haven't already you switch to oil meant for high mileage engines. Just keep driving it until something breaks.
