6G Celicas Forums

Yes, as it says in the title..finally a Celica.
About 3 weeks ago I purchased a 1998 2.0 GT with 130.000 miles and in a pretty good condition overall. Both the interior and exterior are in very good condition and mechanically the car has 2 faults:
1. clunking noise on the rear end. That's because of the droplinks and ARB bushes. I tried to change them yesterday but one of the droplinks is stuck so I have to go to a garage to change them.
2. I noticed a very small oil leak. After not moving the car for more than a day I found a spot(less than a square inch) under it. At the last mot the car had as an advisory one oil leak but the owner told me it was the sump seal and he changed it. I don't really know what to think about that .

Other than that....I LOVE the car and is something that I always wanted.

I will order this days the front ones too + front droplinks. I have a slight noise on the front too..

Thank you! I should order them soon...

Hi guys!
I have a very small misfire and I plan to change the plugs and the distributor cap. Any suggestions? What plugs should I go for? Any specific distributor cap?
Also even if there are 20 degrees C outside the car still revs pretty high 1600-1700rpm when I start it with a cold engine. is that normal?
thanks!

Nobody?

Toyota parts, IK20's for the plugs.

See the 3S-GE repair manual in the NA sticky for the misfire.

Thanks Rusty!
What do you think about the high revs? is that something normal?

yup that's normal cold start

After reading one of the sticky threads I decided to go for Bosch super-4 plugs. The thing is I cannot find them for Celica 3sge, only for mr2 3sge. But am I stupid or it is the same engine and it means they will fit?
These are the ones:

Yeah they will fit, if they are for the 3rd Gen 3S-GE out of the MR2. Bit of a gimmick imo

Thanks Rusty!
I'll give them a try.

Plans for next day off...new plugs and heat wrap my exhaust

I can't decide if I should stick with the actual wheels (15") and refurbish them, or change them for bigger ones....
Any ideas?

P.S. I love my car!!!!!!!!

What about some 7 gen wheels?

Bigger with lower profile tires. Just don't make the mistake buying something big and heavy.
Personally I would spend the money on one thing you've planned, coilovers, then get wheels.

Yeah..that's what I am afraid of..getting something heavy.
Yes.. saving money for coilovers...cheapest one I've seen..~£500
