Hey, my names Loki,

Im new to toyotaowners.etc waiting on OZcelica too. :)

so in the meantime ill be hanging round in here hopefully getting to know all you other celica owners & toyota enthusiasts.

Im currently driving round in a white 1992 Celica ST184R

I've had the car for around 3 years and everything possible has gone wrong with it, some things more than once, but i suppose thats what you get if you have an addiction to getting from A to B in the funnest way possible.

Stuff happened & I joined the army, have been travelling ever since with my celica.

My car is more important to me than any family member, or in a guys case.. the wife. :yahoo:

Im here now to learn a bunch of new stuff about my car that im sure you guys have been through with yours and some tips i wont have to find out the hard way :D

Recently ive just purchased a bodykit for it (first one ever.o.0 ) and holy ***** is it a pain to get on(technically im still re-fabricating the skirts to mold properly into the guards)

I was skimming these sites for info about alot of things(finally decided to join) and some of you guys really helped me out so thanks! :D

Anyway ive probably bored the hell out of you if your've read this far, but thanks for reading and i hope to get to know you all better in the future.

cheers, :D

:spiteful:EDIT:

Thought i should mention, below attached celica isnt mine, its a photomanipulation, ^_^ im not game enough to post mine up here yet!

hi just my 2 cents when putting body kits on your car there is a certain limit at where a car looks good and where a car looks ridiculous jus my 2 cents i do like bodykits but nothing over the top and btw these forums throught the week do get a heap of people in here prob one of the best forums ive joined especially everyone on here is very helpful hope you enjoy yourself on here

hmmmm...

interesting thought...

I agree with body kits if they actually offer some kind of aerodynamic improvement to the vehicle... i.e. a proper front splitter that has a skid / bash pan that extends to at least halfway underneath the engine bay to offer some kind of drag... or a wide body kit with vents that forces the air through the guards to create a smaller air vortex at the rear of the vehicle and accordingly less wind resistance...

but when ppl just put oversized wheels on with a body kit to make it look lower than it is and it serves no purpose, that's a bit whacked in my opinion...

My Rolla is rockin 17's and is as slammed as it can get without hacking away and custom fabricating suspension struts and tucking the under carriage of the vehicle, or adding a body kit (and i have trouble with speed bumps now so to hell with that) and it doesn't attract heat and it serves its purpose... good stance and doesn't look ridiculous... and at the end of the day it has a 7A-FE in it... i won't be travelling fast enough to require any aerodynamic improvements... remember, a rear spoiler, even a crap one, does not start to have any effect until ur travelling at least 230km/h (or at least thats what i've been told by someone who worked for a legit racing team)...

Not to mention the fact that on a front wheel drive car, you want downforce on the front wheels, not rear ones :P

Totally,ILMAO, agree with you on the kit view for sure :) nothing more stupid than a massive wing on a fwd n 20kg chromes on each wheel.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
