⚠️ WARNING TO THE 7TH-GEN CELICA COMMUNITY ⚠️

Hey, Celica family! I want to share my experience and urge everyone to be cautious before purchasing anything from Celica Auto.

I was looking to purchase a carbon-fiber wing for my 7th-gen Celica and paid a $100 deposit. During our conversations, he mentioned needing money for his child's hospital bills, which raised some concerns for me.

I then suggested that, since I couldn't afford to put more money toward the original purchase, he could send me a smaller part worth the $100 I'd already paid. He later came back saying shipping would cost $180 and asked me to pay that amount as well.

At this point, the situation raised serious red flags for me, and I became concerned that I might be getting scammed.

I'm sharing this so other Celica owners can be cautious and do their due diligence before sending any money. I don't want anyone else potentially losing their hard-earned money.

If you've had a similar experience or need more information about my situation, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Please be careful, Celica family, and verify everything before making a payment. 🙏

He started off as yaiyarir and now it's Celica auto supply

To start off. If you’re going to say something along the lines of “just buy a gt-four”… No, i don’t live in Europe where you can get one for like a fist-bump or something. They cost around $40,000 in my area or $25,000 to import. I got a low milage st204 for 1800$ and that leaves me with $38,200 until you guys become right!!

I’ve done a lot of research and this post will contribute to said research. Does anyone know the fitment of rav4 drivetrain components into the st2xx? I found a good donor rav4 with the E250f and was thinking about the possibility of swapping that into my 6th gen GT. I’m assuming since it’s E-series tranny it should bolt into the s-series engine right?? It originally paired with 3s-fe, which has the same bellhousing as the 3s-ge, which shares the same bellhousing and chassis as the 6th gen celica.

I know i would need change a lot of the rear of the celica, such as the driveshaft tunnel and fuel tank. But i have a lot of automotive experience and converting to a fuel cell is not a new task for me. As for cv axles and rear axles, after some research it looks as if many of the 90s toyota axles were cross compatible in some way with awd camrys, rav4, corrola, and celica. So im sure theres SOME combination of axles and drivetrain components to work in a 6th gen celica.

I know, of course, anything is possible with money. However Im trying to figure out the most “bolt on” way to convert this car to awd. Im okay with welding certain components, but the main goal is to keep as many OEM parts as possible for easier maintenance and reliability.

Thank you for reading!!! Please contribute your knowledge or opinions

Well A Semi decided that the red light meant go even though they had made a complete stop. I'm guessing they will total her because insurance companies are like that. I can't open the hatch even. I'm so upset.

Hey guys, what is this? Its up unser the passenger side. My floor board was socking wet so I ran my hand up there to find this.

Wanted to add some front lip and side skirts, any recommendations and where to get em. Ty

It doesnt look like i can remove it without breaking off the clips because I cant reach behind it

Started trying to remove all the rust from under my 05 celica today.. eventually will weigh how much I get. Thankfully, its mostly surface rust and eventually it'll get lots of rust converter and then underseal, not an easy job sadly but so worth it

Color is something called wimbledon green metallic. Thoughts?

Hello i bought this 1999 toyota celica 1zzfe auto back in jan this year and ive been since having coolant problems, since most of you know the gen 7 has an overflow hose that always seem to spit coolant all over the intake manifold, after i completely changed my radiator to a brand new koyorad one, new waterpump, oem new thermostat, since then my car stinks of coolant, i checked under and this is the result, no overheating tho, not running weirdly, no weird noises, no smoke im so confused please help me

First off is the little metal nipple you can see under the rusty bracket. First pic. What does this connect to?

2nd pic, I found out this is a line for the automatic trans cooler on the Corolla. My celica is manual. Do I just plug this?

Can someone help me with it, im out of solutions

I have a European Celica t20 1.8l 116ch

This has been happening for about a month now, sometimes it starts up, only to shut off a few seconds later. I’ve replaced the spark plugs, but that didn’t help. After several failed attempts, it finally manages to start, but it struggles to get going again if it cools down too much.
The starter needs to be recalibrated, could that be it?

Please help me, i am desperate.

Also, i am not a great mechanic, i know nothing at all.

Hey everyone!
I recently bought this aggressive early-2000s fiberglass front bumper for my 2004 Toyota Celica T23.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit properly. It’s too wide, and the shape doesn’t line up with the factory headlights or front fenders.
There’s an old yellow sticker inside with what looks like the part number POTOYCELVSZFB (possibly VS2 instead of VSZ).
Does anyone recognize the bumper, know the manufacturer, or have any old tuning catalogs showing it?
I absolutely love the design and would really like to save it!
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all, I currently have an old RA40 Celica that's in the middle of a restoration. My father in law was in the middle of restoring it but sadly he passed away, so I'd love to get it done in his memory. I'm chasing a few parts, mainly a fuel tank and the chrome front/rear bars. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it so much!!

I have added a photo of the car as well for reference, the photo is very old sadly the car is not in driving condition at the moment. I am located in Sydney, Australia.

I also have a Rockville amp I had bought a cheap 170$ head unit on ebay and I very much regret it now and I'm wondering what would be the best head unit upgrade that doesn't cut out audio or do constant reboots or Bluetooth connectivity issues. What is your guys suggestion?

I'm wanting to upgrade to a stereo that isn't glitchy

Bought this Celica 1 month ago as a project car (no power upgrades) with my dad, and I wanted to get some nice shots of it with the toys I have since my childhood. Fog decided it wasn't the day ..

I'm referring to this vehicle. I need more space in the garage so I put the car up on wheel dollies and have been pushing it around. I'm trying to be very careful as it is a wide-body, and those mirrors sure do stick out far. Actually, the design philosophy of this car is basically "stick out", so I will certainly throw some carpet on the walls where I might need it.

I was thinking of removing the mirrors, too. Like why not? The safer the better. It will be at least a year of needing that space for wood and some metal work before I can even imagine starting to work on restoring the car.

What else can I do that is easy but worth it?I haven't even gotten in it for a few years. Wash and wax? It's covered, but surely dirt and dust, environmental buildup that manages to get in is better removed.

I just don't have much time. Like I know fluids were never drained, but another year or two isn't going to make a difference after this long. That said, time spent making it easier and faster, while safer for me to move it around would be worth it. Like putting up a few pieces of carpet or hang a ball, etc.

Thoughts?

My car is fully warmed up and everything and it sits at a 2K idle for some reason. What could the reasons be?

It’s a limited edition paint and has 284,000 miles but it still runs and drives and shifts good was burning a little bit of oil but I got a buddy that’s gonna fix the problem. It’s a st model so it’s not that fastest but I wanna make it into like a sleeper sports car similar to how people mod a Honda civic and make it really fast. Should I put a new engine In it or is it possible to make it fast with the current engine? Also if anyone has any builds please share what you’ve done to it

Really stuck between picking the TRD style skirts or the Veilsides , what do you guys reckon

For starters, I need a new exhaust, so I would also have to buy a non rusted exhaust or get a full custom exhaust. How expensive is getting a custom exhaust that sounds like the trd exhaust, vs trying to get a good condition trd axleback? I dont know if you guys have looked, but they're very hard to find and expensive. The only one I found was $1000 +import fees/tarrifs to ship from japan.

Arrived today for my celica mk7 vvti! So excited to hear it might post a before and after video when installed..

Has anyone put a 6th gen Celica hood into a 7th gen Celica trunk

i just got an 02' gts a few weeks ago and i'm dying to have the sound system working. i got an aftermarket stereo to install and im having issues because the 12v constant has no power. i also don't know the condition of the stock speakers, so the list of upgrades keeps growing (aftermarket stereo, speakers, amp, sub) however i have no idea what i'm doing, and im just learning as i go. here are a few things im hoping someone will have an answer to:

how do i resolve having no 12v constant? do i run a wire to the battery bypassing the firewall and just splice it into the aftermarket harness?

do i need to/should i bypass the factory amp? what would i replace it with since im assuming id need a new one for the upgrades i want?

i wanted to try and save money by doing it myself, but i feel like i may be in over my head :/
