Hey there guys and girls, i've been in a few car clubs and been on plenty of cruises and stuff like that so I love the car club atmosphere. Anyways I just picked up a light blue 86 model celica today.... hope it runs smoothly for at least a while hehe. Anyways i thought i'd say heya....

By the way, i'm Paz ;) or Pascal if u so choose... :) Hope I can meet some of you guys on a cruise.... I live in Sydney ;)

hey pascal.

i too have a light blue 86' celica.

if urs is anything like mine it should run smoothly for ages. just make sure u change the oil for fully synthetic oil and maintain the basics of the engine. i've had mine for over a year now and not a single problem.

hope u have fun with ur celica.

bad new guys, car is a fvken lemon....... (so far)

since i've had it (4 days)

- power steering is leaking like a bitch, makes awesul noise when its empty

- now the car won't start for some miraculous reason

- one of the radiator pipes decided to burst when i was 50kms from my house

you have no idea of level of frustration i am at right now, i'm tempted to go and dump it in the guys yard who i bought it off and set it on fire......

so far the only thing that works well is umm....welll.... it still goes like a rocket........when it starts....

laters

btw warrior your car is sweet man, dunno bout the wing tho.....

So it's got a few teething troubles... :(

Bear in mind it's a used car and most ( if not all ) used cars have their faults. Don't give up on it straight away mate. It sounds like the engine is a fit one ( when it starts ).

I love the Gen 4 Celica's.....by far the best looking one.

Get the problems sorted out, shout up on here if you get stuck or need advice, then get out there and play !

yeh its in the mechanic atm, i'm thinkin new fuel pump will be the go.... and hopefully pwr steering isn't too expensive to fix (i'm hoping its just a leaky pipe). Compared to my old 84 turbo exa, the celica drives a lot smoother and i love the linear power delivery...... And it looks a hell of a lot better too...... i haven't lost faith yet but its ust bad timing for all these problems i guess..... I would be keen for a cruise in syd sometime soon.....

i hate my wheels that came which are 14 inch toyota 3 spokers, anyone wanna swap for the stock polished alloy ones like in this pic?

these ones.....
