Well hello their 6gc
 . Let me start off bye saying I found this website about six months ago and immodestly fell in love with celicas. I had no idea of what all could be done to them so my research began. I started saving money to find the perfect car and bam I bought a 94 gt with the 3sgte for 3 grand! I really know little compAred to the pros on here And my journey begins. The car is lowered on tein springs. It is just an absolute beast to drive but their is much to do. I don't think the engine is wired up correctly, the mph gauge does not work. The rpm seems like it is off(original dash) which could be the problem. It's hard to reverse the car because it shakes and kinda wants to nose dive the front end. I believe this is because it is still fwd and needs to be awd? The motor has 80k miles on it from wat the owner told me but I can't verify that yet. I don't know anyone in georgia on these forums but if u are out their I'd love to meet up someday To see each others rides and maybe help me out with some of my problems. First things first though I need to get it fixeddddd! She will crank like a beast but the guy told me the "ignition coil" was bad. When I turn the key to start the car it just dims all the lights. I basically have to Hotwire it everytime And it's starting to get on my nerves. My name is tothetop on here and that's my goal. But to achieve this goal I know I can't do it without you all. My iphone won't let me upload photos saying their to big. Lastly I would like to introduce myself  . My name is James, I am 20 years old basketball player and professional painter. I hAv plenty of construction experience but lack hard when it comes to cars. I hope to get my project off the ground soon but I just found out I have a tumor in my leg so I'm not sure how this will effect my build. Please be patient with me as we'll  . I really love 6gc.net just reading ur stories helped motivate me through my own struggles, and hopefully one day I might to help someone unknowingly.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
