Projek_01's build/restoration tread =D Options

I never thought I would have one of these threads!

This starts off with a good-ol 7th Gen Celica wheel. Looks like we have a problem with the cruise control wiring and controls. Each toggle on the cruise control has it's own resistance value. The 6th Gen Celica and the NewCelica use different resistance values so this means open heart surgery. I havent seen a how-to before so if there is demand, ill make one.


The 6th gen stalk PCB with larger resistors with lower resistance


The 7th gen stalk PCB with smaller resistors.

THe 6th Gen resistors were transfered over to the new stalk. The plastic around the resistors had to be cut away to make room for the larger components. Careful soldering is required.


The harness is spliced on to plug into the 6th Gen clock spring.

Didnt really update my thread after my car came out of the booth. I was a little depressed because the paint was quite oranged peeled and had poor coverage. A quick wetsand/pp helped a fair amount.

Wanted a second attempt at painting a 6GC..
I would say that my Celica is basically done. I am leaning towards saving money for something with more power and reliability and just using the 6gc with the blizzaks for winter.
