FS: 1995 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 Front end conversion and ST205 motor sw, $1500 Options

[SlvrCelica09]

Hey guys.. It would seem that sad time has come. I no longer can afford 2 cars, I need to focus my attention on school.. so sarcrifices have to be made. I have up for sale a silver 1995 toyota celica with a gt4 front end(black) with a st205 motor swap. has 18 inch rims, drilled/slotted rotors... the engine starts up and runs.. but needs a new sensor as it has a rough idle.. also needs a new alternator.. and the intercooler and intercooler pump wiring needs to be completed.

The driver side door is pretty beat up.. got hit by a car a couple years back and never was able to fix it.. the interior panels were spray painted silver and are chipping out.. the GT4 hood suffered that notorious hood to windshield fate so its not in the best shape.. the handbrake needs to be adjusted.. i belive the transmission is no longer working.. dont know for sure.. but I would advise anyone planning to buy this to buy a either a new 5sfe transmission or a e153 transimission. engine needs a new power steering assembly.. and I believe thats about it.. heres some pictures startng from the most recent.. (about a month ago)

asking $1500 plus shipping

what kind of damage is there to the car?

[SlvrCelica09]

dude thats the price of the engine you bought. sad to see you quit and hang your boots.

Yea.. wish I had the funds.. but I just dropped 2gs in my other car and I just cant fund the celica anymore..(insurance, st205 parts.. etc..)

Im going to add this to the main FS post.

[SlvrCelica09]

[96stgreendemon]

just park it for awhile, and pm me if your interested in trading that front end for mine plus some cash, i live in nky and could meet you somewhere, just name your price if you are interested

naw, I need to sell the car as a whole... no parting out.. but thanks for the offer

[lagos]

I thought you were a leader, not a quitter?
Fix the car and at least enjoy it for a bit.

Fix the car and at least enjoy it for a bit.

again, if I wasnt paying for 2 cars.. (insurance for two cars.. 1 being a Mercedes..) and paying for school also I would definitely finish this.. but this being a new year.. I really need to get my priorities in order.. I would rather give this to someone who has the time and money to finish.. rather than possibly have this sitting for who knows long while im away in school. I just dont have the time or money.

[samir0189]

So... does the car as a whole run?? you say it needs a new transmission... I understand the engine runs, but does the car move?

yea sorry man this isnt a real GT4 just a swapped st205.. it needs a transmission however

[ajmorris1977]

so i think it needs to be cleared up here, i thought i read it runs but the transmission is fried but i read some comments that it doesn't run at all? please clear this up as it really effects the interest level of potential buyers....and guys lets be nice on here as we all know the cost of a switch and if we could do it for $2k we would all have done it already so if it is running its worth at least that right?

no one else has seen this car but me so if people claim they know about MY car they are liars. The engine IS running.. the transmission is not.. you turn the key and it runs.. it just wont shift.. It needs a new sensor, alternator and power steering assembly. It needs a transmission.

I understand it starts, but you said it doesn't idle correctly. Has this been a constant problem since you swapped, or something that recently developed?

its a constant problem because one of the sensors is broken and needs to be replaced. I bought the engine with that damaged sensor on it.

its the Valve assy Air control part # 25740‑88480

http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1996_TOYO...MVZ_1708.9.html

it was broken on my engine and needs to be replaced, there was vacuum leaks coming out of the hoses for that sensor also when I did the test

thread cleaned.
if your not interested in buying this car, please do not post.

just as an FYI for you and for potential buyers, that sensor and hoses are not needed for the engine to run 100% perfect.

all that sensor does, is basicly create a controled vac leak when you turn the wheel to full lock, so that it idles up ~100rpm to compensate for the load placed on the PS pump, and therefore the crank. you can plug those hoses, or better yet pull them off the air pipes and cap the outlets.
the car will idle down a bit when you turn the wheels to full lock, no harm, no foul.

[SlvrCelica09]

thanks manny

[D-Man]

Motor runs though? 2500?

[Toyota_Celica_97]

awww man i was thinking of buying it when i saw the 2500 sign but after seeing all the body damage and all the problem with it i think i might pass, wont worth my time on fixing it. but good luck with the sell.

[SlvrCelica09]

Motor runs though? 2500?

yea the motor runs.. 2500 is what im asking for

[SlvrCelica09]

bumpz... need this car gone asap

[SlvrCelica09]

nothing. I think I was being a bit too generous with the price the first time. I bought the engine for 2300, then add 1200 total for a GT4 conversion. Brake upgrades, and a whole car on top... yea I don't want to get shafted.

[TinoCel]

100% agreed.

[SlvrCelica09]

bump.. taking reasonable offers

[Serhey]

if no one got it for 25 hundred then shouldnt you lower the price instead of raising it a whole thousand dollars? I can see where you're coming from about investing all this money into it, but who ever buys it will need a whole new body, because as you said yourself in the other thread that when you got t boned the frame is damaged beyond repair, also your hood is all messed up, im sure its repairable but just think of all the work that needs to be put into it. Not to mention that most people are picky and will want all 4 wheels to match. Be more reasonable with the price because theres a ton of work that needs to be done to it, im almost 100 percent sure thats the only reason you are selling it. I know that if i had a 3sgte celica that was in good running condition i would hold on to that thing like no other.

the body isnt damaged beyond repair. I just never came around fixing it. I had people wanting to buy for 2500 but decided to try and fix because I didn't want to sell.. but that was in January and since then Ive never even had a chance to fix the car since its back at home and Im at school.. I want it sold now because I'm no longer interested in fixing the car and I just want something else now. I was planning on fixing the damage this summer, I got quoted to fix it for only $700 which includes repaint.. but I have my eye on a new car now so I really don't want to fix or keep it anymore. so yea the price is 3500, but I will be taking reasonable offers. This would also make a good parts car which I mentioned in my first post and on craigslist. You're basically getting a whole engine, tranny, st205 front end and a whole car on top of that.

This post has been edited by SlvrCelica09: Mar 22, 2010 - 1:02 PM

[SwissFerdi]

But there's the point...the hood is basically busted, so all that's left of the ST205 front end is the bumper, and then you have the riser blocks. You mention in the above post that the buyer gets a transmission, but you mention further up in the thread that the tranny is toast...so that's gone too.

Take this as you wish...good luck with the sale.

the tranny is not toast.. i said you would need new axles and a new clutch. the hood is NOT basically busted just a couple small dents that can be easily fixed. I edited it out the other post about the tranny.. that is not the problem. I got a call from a buddy of mine and said my passenger axle was out of alignment which was the reason the clutch was not engaging.

Heres a updated to do list for the car:

new sensor(supplied)
new alternator
new axles
wire in the intercooler
fix frame damage.. will cost around 700
adjust handbrake

[samir0189]

At this price point I'm kinda interested. BUT, I don't mean to offend or anything, however, the info in this thread is SO scattered, I think that is why no one has snatched this car off your hands yet buddy. First its the tranny is not good, then it is good, so can we try this instead and make a list of what is really wrong, whats included, etc? A little clarification is perhaps all that is needed?

From my understanding, and piecing together of information:

Engine/transmission related

-Can the car move on its own?
-Engine runs (still sputters and dies after reaching operating temp?)
-The valve needed is included but as stated by Manny is not necessarily needed
-Transmission ????
-Needs new axles
-power steering assembly - is that the pump that needs changing?
-needs new alternator
-intercooler wiring

Body
-Needs driver side repair @ ~$700
-One rim mismatched
-Gt4 hood slightly banged up (repairable?)

... I cant recall anything else. and I don't mean to be bringing up all the negative things about your car but I really think it'd help if it was clear to the buyer what all is involved here. This is still a good deal, the 3sgte is worth more than $1500 alone and its + a whole car and front end conversion. Im just trying to help ....

I agree, things are a bit scatered.. ive been going back and forth with selling/fixing.. the way the car is now:

- transmission should be fine, but I can give a good guarantee since it has only ran once with the 3sgte(october 2009) the last time I checked out the car, which was late febuary, my friend and I looked at the axle and it seemed that it was not flushing properly with the transmission.. which would support the reason for it not engaging.

- needs a new passenger side axle
- needs new alternator
- alternator needs to be wired in(relay)
- power steering hoses are missing
- damaged sensor included that needs to be changed
- driver side frame repair
- discontinued rims(suggest buying new rims.. tires are good.. hardly used)
- Gt4 hood is slightly dented.. should be an easy repair.

Its just been soo long since Ive worked on car.. but the last time I started it up.. which was march.. it started up with the rough idle.. so it still runs.
