6G Celicas Forums

I am new to this forum and i am also new to the jap scene.

I got hold of this little beauty about 2 months ago from a good mate of mine for £450 and have finally understood why people say "Once you go Jap, you never go back".

It was completly standard when i bought it apart from the wheel that are on it.

Current specs are;

Engine: 1.8L 16V
Mileage: 145'000 miles
Current mods: some tiny wheels that dont look right on it.

so here is a picture of when i first got her


not long after getting it i had to add some audio


my mate also had a exhaust that he bought for the celica but never fitted it so he sold it to me for a good price

Exhaust could do with a clean


i have got some plans for her, just got to fugure out how i go about it.

Plans for the future

sort out the interior
- new seats
- new dashboard gauges
- redo the roof line and door panels
- it some pillar pods
- new steering wheel

Exterior
- GT4 bonnet and front bumper
- new wheels
- lower
- fit spoiler
- vinyl wrap roof and bonnet
- change headlights
- change back bumper

well that's what i have planned for now let see how it actually turns out.

let me know what you all think.

i knew the clutch was going to go soon but i thought i might be able to get more out of it before it started slipping.

i can at least still drive it to the garage to get fixed thats why im taking it off the road now.

Just float the gears, who needs a clutch anyway.

Can anyone help me, i recently bought the above manifold and down pipe from ebay and it turns out that it doesnt fit at all the manifold holes do not line up with the engine block.

Could you guys let me know what model my Celia is as i thought it was a ST202 and also what manifold you guys would recommend?

ahh yeah can see why .first your st202 has the crap slow engine and is hassle for parts and to mod . and your st202 is the SS1 . you realistically wanted the uk version GT or import SS2 like mine with the much better 3SGE 175BHP if you decide to keep that car i would not bother putting money in to that engine and just find a uk GT or import SS2 model 3SGE engine and is a very easy swap and easy to find and fairly cheap like £300-400 as for that manifold its for the 3sge engine . i know because i have one and does say in the ad its for the 3sge model . so remember your model is the SS1 . and so you know when you decide to get new discs yours will be listed as import model 255 size discs and pads you will have to do some research

any more info just ask bro

The header you bought is for a 3S block regardless, so my advice is to use a burr drill bit like this:

Basically all you need to do is widen the mounting holes a little so they will line up with the bolts. I had to do that with mine because of it being a generic corolla header for the 7A, gotta love generic aftermarket parts. Of course your motor like mine is the FE or economy model motor, not saying that should stop you from anything but do your research on engine parts and upgrades before committing to them. There are members on here like Tigawoods and hurley97 who have taken FE models and made them more of a sports engine. Keep the progress coming
