6G Celicas Forums

Hey whats up 6GC community? Last weekend I bought a 1997 GT for a good price. I like it a lot. It's only got 78K on the clock. It's renaissance red, a liftback but auto I have some stuff in mind for it, but probably not till next year. I also have a 2005 Tacoma XRunner that is my weekend warrior and I have a good amount invested into it. So far for the Celica, I bought some new old stock floor mats, picked up an owners manual and I'm looking to get the spoiler re-sprayed (it's peeling) and get the drivers seat sewn up, one of the seams has lost it's stitching. I would like to do a BEAMS swap but I dunno what I'd be getting into with an auto trans and emissions and stuff. I just sold a 1993 Corolla wagon I had swapped a 20 valve in to Other than a few minor dings (I mean after all the car is 13 years old) it's in really good condition. I look forward to my stay here on 6GC Hope to meet some nice folks on here.



I'd get some more pics but it's really dirty, it's been raining and I haven't had time to polish her since I brought her home yet. Oh and that's not my house lol, that's a building at my work we kind of converted into a shed.

WELCOME, good sir.

thats a nice fine ride ya got there.

NOOOOOOOOOOO, another one with less miles than me.

Congratulations guy. I'm not sure if the BEAMS will swap up to that S54, but it could be possible. Then again, I can't think of another 6th gen tranny besides the E153 and the E154F and the C52.

Ferdi,your missing a few...He has an automatic,that's not the s54,that's the manual for the 5sfe..The auto,as he stated he has, is the A140E.

beams came in auto as well, not sure what tranny is used.

welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. It's good to know the BEAMS came in auto, I haven't seen them pop up before though. I still have to pass emissions up here... I'm not sure on Japans emissions regulations but would it work with OBD2?
