Bye Bye MKVI- Farewell Fellas!, Moving on forward Options

[jdg371]

Now is the time to sell. I thought it would be the week where I will actually dish out money for my suspension, but my plans have been destroyed by a different car. My 97' will be forsale. Some modifications left to do. such as paint the trimmings and give it a deep wash.

Heres the new Toy for me. Should be easy to tell what it is.




So Long. Time to move on to a different site to get and share my information!

MKVII GTS 6sp - quite a great deal on it. 80K miles

[Jen]

I guess I am an idiot. When I first IM'd him, I thought it was a Corolla. :x

I'm no good at this game.

good buy, have fun. First thing to check are your lift bolts. Good luck! you will have a lot of fun with this car

First thing is replacing the clutch and putting in my TRD flywheel. Its been collecting dust in the garage for a year now hehe.

It has a borla exhaust, AEM CAI, and DC header =]

Any sites based on the MKVII? Im trying to see how the tC wheels look on them. I just ordered a set of Fuzion ZRi [215/45] and I don't want to sell the MKVI with those.. Im putting the GTS wheels on the MKVI and saving my BBS for a rainy day

im in no rush for engine work. Im coming from my puny 90hp 7AFE to a 180hp 2ZZ

Enough power till I can control it. All I really need is around 200hp for autocross. Unless I plan to run with my brother to Canada for a MR2 Meet this July.. Track racing FTW

K. TL vs TL =] Can I use the TL-S 6sp from my work? hahaha

[j0e_p3t]

that's a nice lil upgrade. have fun autoxing with the vvtli. and i demand more pics. and take some with both celi's together.

[Mynzeyes]

Jasper thinks he's cool by calling the 6th gen celica a "MK VI".

Fuggin' newbie.

"Mark __" doesn't apply to Celicas. MR2s and Supras, yes. Celicas, no. Stop trying to sound cool, Jasper.

[jdg371]

Which rule book does it state that o.O

[sinner96ST]

i've done a metric ton of homework on the 7th gen. the 2zz is a decent motor, but Toyota sure does know how to make your wallet thin by trying to get some gains out of it.

save up 5 grand if you want boost, otherwise do some basic bolt on work.

get a good intake, header, exhaust, butterfly mod, PFC, a good tune, lightweight flywheel, and try losing some weight on the car. the most important thing you could possibly do is figuring out how to stay in lift between shifts and know how to launch/drive the car.

i hope you got an 01-03, those are the best years of the car, imo. higher redline and no drive by wire junk.

i'm jealous, i want one! i just don't have the money and i can't see spending close to 10 grand on a highly used one cause i know i'll want to dump money in to it. have fun with your car and read up on newcelica.org for some more tips.

LoL. Don't forget that the Celica and the Supra WAS once ONE (Celica-Supra). So it isn't a total crime to state it's title as "Mark".

NO you can't, use your own car so yea. post more pics!!

[jdg371]

Ah the Celica Supra. MKII Supras is a more common name for em. The MKIs are lost in time haha.

Pics will come when the car moves. Its chilling in my driveway waiting to get its tranny back with the fresh clutch and stock flywheel. [my TRD is fuxxed.. damn chromoly!] also its too cold to do anything.

I got the car very very cheap. I'll just say im spending under 5000 to get it back to running condition.

I plan to build my suspension on it. Unlike my 97 which I procrastinated on...

Hotchkis Springs and rear sway, C-One bars, ES bushings, AGX springs etc...

[jdg371]

Bumpity Bump.

The GTS is ALIVE! as of today. Lift was heard for the first time... and the Borla exhaust is actually quiet! LOL.. did a test drive around with both celicas [my bro in the GTS w/o a hood... me in the ST] Funny how you see heads turn.. and little kids wonder.. wtf wheres his hood! Pics coming tommorow.. im numb from working on it while the weather is crap [30d with strong wind.. ]

[Jaws4God]

any pics?

[jdg371]

any pics?

umm ok..lol heres some from my driveway.

I need to wash both of em =[ Especially the ST since its for SALE











and for the hell of it..
Jasper powered Celica..



I love working on cars when its 20D and 10 calculated with wind chill.

[Mynzeyes]

you make it sound like I just hit puberty.. o.O!

Didn't you..? You were bragging about it just the other day...































Was I not supposed to tell anyone..?

****...

[jdg371]

It was out secret johnny now you ruined it! /cry o.O

[jdg371]

A week of driving. And wow.. I haven't tried "pushing" yet just yet....Still no 2nd gear so.. bleh! One thing I do miss about my other Celica.. is the torque..

Comparing between my ST and the GTS [should be obvious..]
I LOVE how the 2ZZGE screams from 6200-8400RPM. It's crazy loud and im not sure if its just me.. but the steering wheel is fighting.. I know its not too much torque.. LOL..

BTW... using premium kicks my butt.. Ive killed a full tank already.. [wed-today..]

I'll get some other pics tommorow.. or tuesday LOL

[Mynzeyes]

do you mean that you miss the 6th gen's LACK of torque..? because that'd make a lot more sense...

i <3 the Spec's 180ft/lb. mmmm.

[jdg371]

No. My ST felt much torquier [sp] than my GTS

The can is just dead below 6000
