it's had it since i test drove it, but I've been having a good think about it and it can't be healthy. Every time I accelerate from 1st gear through to 4th the engine/trans/drive whines almost like a super charger. Any idea what this could be?
The car drives completely fine other than that. Should I be worried??

I'll take your brakes and driveline :) haha

thanks mate. the paint is in pretty damn good condition except for the minor paint chips on the hood and front bumper from being 10 years old.

I'm after a few interior upgrades. Nothing drastic, but just little things.
I'm after the following:
- new pedals (preferablly carbon fiber)
- new shift knob (once again, carbon fiber)
- an Indiglo speedo face
Any idea where I can get these? Also, what are the sizes for the shifter and pedals? Sorry, I know **** all about the Celica haha

Hi all :)
Loving my Celica from the second I picked her up.'98 Celica SX-R Manual w. 184,000k's.
Here's a few pics for now!
Planning on throwing some 18" Volks on her and an Indiglo dash at some point, aswell as a new shift knob. Any recommendations?

3SGTE is the engine your thinking of... 180k on the celica depends what sort of km's they are , if it's had a hard life it may not be as tight or honest as an example thats been treated well...
yeah i believe it's been treated pretty well. picked it up from Subaru Glen Waverley last monday. Got a great deal on it. Completely stock, but so far I've installed a head unit into the car.
I'm looking to install a custom dash face, just like this one:
but i can't seem to find any anywhere!! Can anyone send me in the right direction?

thanks guys! yeah i know there's no way a 2jz could fit in the celica :P i guess i was just dreaming that day.

I've got a few plans with this.
- remove all badges from rear except SX-R
- tint tail lights
- 17 or 18" wheels
- full pioneer sound system
- shift knob
- carbon fiber foot pedals
- paint the dash silver or apply carbon fibre to it
Apart from that, I'm not going to do anything. The car is completely stock so far.
Is there anything I should be looking out for on a 180,000+k car? How many K's does all your Celica's have??

Hi all!!
The names Dylan and I'm usually found on the SupraForums.com.au but i thought i'd come here to have a chat with you all!
I just recently bought myself a '98 ST204R Celica SX-R with 183,000k's on the clock, manual for $7300. Loving it.
I wanted to come on here to make the most out of my celica for the time I have it. I would like to rebuild the 5S engine at some point, either drop in a 2jzge or just rebuild it as the k's are getting high. What are your views on this? I don't have to much knowledge of the Celica, only the supra haha.
I have plans on purchasing myself a lovely SZ-R Supra or a RZ Supra in the near by future.
Here's a few pics of my baby at the dealer when i first got her:

haha im 19.... no wife :P just the girlfriend
ummmm DreadAngel, that actually sounds like it could be my problem! Shifting is slowly becoming more and more difficult. I get stuck trying to get into 1st, especially when just sitting at the lights. Is this an expensive problem to fix? haha
btw, yes it is manual
