Could somebody recommend a celica forum? Options

[Con99vert]

I need to find an active celica forum with "how to" articles and knowledgeable people. This obviously is not the best forum out there and I am tired of waiting for days to never for answers. Please recommend other celica forums that you guys are using. i am not trying to bash this forum, it just doesn't suit my needs ever.

[95CelicaST]

This is the only 6th gen specific site. You can try celicatech, but its mainly 5th gens.


Sorry you expect instant results from a forum that really only has a small amount of regular users. I have been here for over 5 years and have had nothing but good things to say about the help I have received.

but i understand..






6gc is like a blossoming flower it needs time to grow

how to

this site is the best place you can go for 6th gen related to be honest. You just need to know some of the more knowledgeable people don't talk much because the recent immature-ness this site is showing and some other of us are just too busy to check the forums everyday. Other celica forums are just about dead as here too.

if its technical issues with the car, you can go to celica-tech
you should stay around here as well. as soon as summer comes, all the younger members will be more active.

i've found a lot of good information by just searching.. seems like a lot of common issues have been disscussed before... but if you need help right away. you can always try PMing some of the moderators..

I think a lot of people have a good heart just may not be able to check the forum often enough.. i know for me my computer at home is down so its hard to check it everyday...

Like I said, I was not trying to bash this forum. I was only trying to find a more active forum so i can get my questions answered. I see so many unanswered questions on this forum(some of mine) and there are very few tutorials. I figured there would be at least a tutorial for brake changes. yes, I know it is a simple task, but it is still nice to have an article when questions come up. As suggested, I went to Celica-tech and my question was answered right away. I am not planning on leaving this site, I just wanted more resources. Membership to more Celica forums means more information at hand...RIGHT?

Wow. I too have nothing but good to say about 6gc. It has recently been slow, yes, but from what I've seen, most threads get answered.

Also if you search, 99% of issues you could have has already been had by someone else, and you can find a plethora of ways to fix whatever it is you have that you so desperately need fixed.

Anyway i looked through your posts that you have created and I only saw 1 WTB without a reply, .... that you posted yesterday. You could do some searching yourself there are many part-outs going on and PM whoever to get what you need.

And you are never going to find a more thorough resource for the 6gc, if you need more urgent help on mechanical problems join some general mechanic forum, its just a car after all.

Good luck with your search.

[96bluevert]

Just search.

Sorry, I'm going to agree with what you said here... and what other people have said as well though. I've had great experiences here and have learned SO SO much from members on this site... but yes, sometimes it is frustrating to have questions go unanswered, or worse yet, have a question and have a reply like "yeah I don't know one time that happened to me and I just used tape" or something along those lines. (my frustration comes in with people complaining about it, yet expending minimal effort to change it - and terbear that's not directed at you, it's just a general statement)

I'm on Celicatech too (94Celigirl) but I definitely spend more time on here. I also appreciate having different resources to glean information from. There's a lot of misinformation out there as well, and sometimes a consensus really helps as well. Plus, the more information you have, the more you have to share, just as you said.

[flyinglizard]

You can't expect to get answers when you thread jack. I just looked through all your posts, and it's difficult to answer your questions when they are buried in someone else's thread (all 2 of your questions which have been asked just in the past couple days). Learn how to use the search function.

Also, a dragging caliper is a general car question, not a 6th gen specific issue. I'm pretty sure google search would have netted you much better results.

EDIT: I just searched "dragging brake caliper" on google and came up with tons of info

Dont complain if you threadjack,make a new thread,or just search,OR take the car to a mechanic!This site welcomes new member with open arms,we give advice,thoughts,and concerns,until they make an ass out of themselves(which you have just done) and then we dont want to help becuase we know the person thinks that we ow them somthing.You dont pay for this site,so your not ENTITLED to anything.If u were to post a question in a new thread multiple times and get NO responces then yes i would think you have reason to post a thread like this,but every single one of your threads that is asking a question has been replied to...



If you have any questions that you think no one has answered feel free to message me and i will give you the answer or tell you where to find it..

[Con99vert]

Sure, I could start a new thread, but then you people would tell me to search because it has already been asked. There is no reason tostart a new thread when a similar already exists.

BTW, I do appreciate how you guys make me feel welcomed.

[Rusty]

I've updated a few sticky threads, I hope it makes it easier for getting the info your after, but yes there are still 'how to' threads we dont have, its up to the 6gen community to write them. I'll do a bit of looking around for how to/ info threads we still need and post them in the 'sticky update' thread in website discussion

But...if you know there is a thread about your topic...why not just search for it then?there are thousands of topics on these forums.Plus, i think,that the search function is very useful when used correctly.You can put a + in front of the words,that makes the search only search for threads with ALL the words that have a + in front ..such as: +3sgte +gt +swap, or +gt +caliper +grinding, or +gt-4 +conversion +ST ....it makes it a bit easier..

My god you are ****ing dumb. A similar thread already existed, but it did not answer my questions fully. So I asked some questions pertaining to that thread. I did not start a new one because the problems were the same, I just need more info. For ****s sake, if you are going to bitch and moan about this then at least read the threads you are talking about.

[jordisonjr]

..And you're wondering why you don't get any answers? No offence but no ones going to answer your questions when your a complete dick. And on top of that yous tarted a thread on a celica forum, for BETTER celice forums, When you simply could have gone to google, searched celica forums, and I'm sure every forum mentioned above would have shown up. I don't blame the guys for not wanting to deal with you..

[Con99vert]

Yes, you are another brilliant one. I was only a dick after asking a simple question about other forums. I don't feel like signing up for another 5 forums only to find out that one of them is decent. That is why I asked. I know I could have googled Celica forums, but I would rather be referred to someplace. So all of you can **** off. Thanks for the tip about celica-tech. I can see why this site never took off like it should have.

[Con99vert]

IF this forum sucks so bad why are u still on it?Why don't u go find another forum to cater to your every whim,but i suggest you lose your retarded ignorant mouth or no one is going to help you.

I am still on it because dumb asses keep responding. I have found another forum that answers questions, is very helpful, and the people are actually friendly. I am not asking for any help.

[CelicaST_CALI]

Thanks for making 6gc.net a better place

..... no one is keeping you here, nor should you feel compelled to reply unless you are enjoying stirring things up by calling 6gc members "not knowledgeable" and "unfriendly."

If you want to go, go. Sick of you calling us all a**holes already.

When they direct you back to 6gc for specific info, there is an anonymous mode you may use to keep from looking like a fool.....................again.

[Batman722]

ok let's just relax now.

this site has it's good and bad points.
We're on a site about a car that was was produced for 5 years and is at best 11 years old. There weren't too many produced and most are not owned by enthusiasts. There are many members here that have a very good working knowledge about these cars, I'm sure we can all agree on that. There are other general celica or toyota sites out there and they have there fair share of ups and downs too but this one is specific to this generation.

I can only say post up questions, search, ignore jerks and hope for the best

[CelicaST_CALI]

So,i was looking through the geniuses posts,and found a few things that made me laugh and i thought id share

Oh wow! I like that. Thanks for the fast reponse Luke.

Thanks, I am not worried about the mileage at all. Engine swaps are cheap and easy.

I am going with HID in all three because of all of the driving i do at night.

I am thinking John Deer Green with some matching John Deere Yellow wheels. lol

I just hitchhiked 400miles and picked up a 1999 GT convertible.

[Batman722]

Cali, posting something like that is just dumb.
I'm sure anyone can find 100 post you made that are probably some of the dumbest on any site...ever.

[95CelicaST]

I wasn't going to say anything about how high and mighty Cali is trying to make himself in this thread.



Sorry bud, but you've got a couple years to go before you get there



And OP - Glad you find Celicatech helpful. The main reason it is more popular than 6gc is it is open to all 7 generations of Celicas, whereas this site is specific to one of the more rare generations. We still have 10,000 or so members (albeit not all active), which is pretty good.

[CelicaST_CALI]

no im not trying to sound high any mighty at all,but i sure as hell know more about this car than he does and did not deserve to be bashed like that by someone who shouldn't even be posting because this site is full of "unresponsive assholes".(ur just mad about my mr2 comment )

Silly Cali, I don't care what you say about my MR2. Everyone knows the SW20 is legendary.


And you fail at searching for users.


Here is our newest user - member # 12,639

http://www.6gc.net/members/12639

[CelicaST_CALI]

5308 rides were found. Currently showing rides 1-100.

[95CelicaST]

Just because you keep posting that number doesn't make you any closer to being right...

[CelicaST_CALI]

[95CelicaST]

I understand what you're trying to say - now that you have restated the same thing three times in three different ways.


However it doesn't take into account anyone who hasn't filled out their profile, or anyone who hasn't stated which kind of Celica they have.


For example: member number 12638

http://www.6gc.net/members/12638


They do not specify what kind of Celica they have, thus they do not show up in members' rides.

edit: I like this one better.
