wouldnt that sensor already be in place so that someone doesnt hold it in the "UP" position for a long time and damage the winder/motor? Interesting, i would aslo be keen to see if this mod could be done.

" I retract my previous statement"

there is a rev limiter, but when u downshift before the rev limiter, the engine can go way past redline/rev limit even though it may not show. I cant remember but the dude with the celica, when toyota examined the box they told him it went beyond 9KRPM. seriously though, the guy has screwed his car, theyre takin their time to fix it properly and hes whinging like somehow hes been rorted.

***** where do people come off thinking they can ***** rape their cars and then winge when they have to be fixed. n00bs. DOnt blow up your engine and then you wont have to wait for it to be fixed. a guy in syd who blew mis-shifted his new celica waited over 6 months to get his car back. "To cut a long story short the engine was over revved so a Toyota Technician has told me" the celica is fitted with a "black box", and since the corolla also incorporated the 2ZZ I imagine u guys will have the same deal, toyota can tap into it and retrieve vital data before the engine blew etc (such as RPM etc).

where did u hear that ?

It was called a "Car-baby"

influx u didnt make the celica cruise while back did you?

Yeah for sure man, I was actually thinkin of aqua golfin it one night this week, might post it up and maybe we can get a few of us together

Clicky <_<

Suggest some places for the man to go to, hes in need of some advice here blade.

Penrith, Sydney

Double dins are now coming with fully/partial detachable face plates, otherwise the majority are and still remain non-detatchable. Its a draw back. But nowadays people break into ur car for mobile phones and snap-on seat covers, you cant win. <_<

where did everyone shoot off into the tangent of installing splits in the rear

This was investigated by celica owners, and those who have installed aftermarket parts to lower the setting where lift kicks in, have found no noticable benefit or difference, unlike VTEC.

oh it works well, has all the standard high end funtionality, with the built in lcd screen and DVD/VCD/MP3 playback youd expect.

In sydney a new celica dude was showing his mate how the celica could perform using lift. he was taking on a WRX, and maxxed lift in each gear change and managed to stay level with the wrx. till he miss-shifted and then it was all over. Yes he kept up. But a few thousands dollars or so later and a 6 month wait till the car was back on the road. yes lift can perform and it can be used against a car like a WRX, but no way did the WRX work anywhere near as hard as the celica did using lift.

WHY WOULD YOU BUY a TWO WAY SPEAKER AND BUY EXTRA TWEETERS!? DEATHZONE: Damn, very nice setup, cant wait to see it/see pics! :D BLADE: Mate I hear you. I understand where your coming from, basically as stated in my post, To each their own. ORROCK: Mate i know where you are coming from, but sometimes it makes sense to do the line-out conversion and run amps of a head unit. I was tempted for quite a while. Stock in the ZR, they give u a double din AM/FM/TAPE/CD - which includes the 6 disc indash player. DOubt you will ever find an aftermarket unit with the same specs/functions at a reasonable price. And when it comes with the car for free (well not really u paid for the car) why throw it away. like i said mate, Everyone has their own ideas and preferances. I still upgraded the head unit anyway, and am happy with the results so far. E-GENE: That head unit (7550) is pretty good man, you should be happy with the functions/stuff it will offer you. Just be weary if your going to buy it off Ebay. Basically you would get decent sound with 2way or 3way speakers. Again its personal preference, three way speakers offer better clarity for sound (treble/high end, vocals etc). 2way still sounds good and gives the mid-range sound or bass that people like, but at times the clarity/treble/vocals can sound "tinnny"/flat. In an attempt to make some kind of sense, think of two way as "one-way bass + one-way treble" and think of three way as "one way bass + 2 ways for treble". Though this maybe grossely inaccurate, it'll give you an idea of what each can offer, but is better explained by listening to them. Run the same song, through a set of both speakers at a sound/car audio shop and you'll hear it for yourself. -Sharmz. BTW I work for Strathfield car radios

for those who went to the celica cruise back in jan, naresh from the new celica group had one of these bad boys (or similar ) in his car, by eclipse.. Very nice, watching 2fast2furios . looks the part anyways.

usually once a day, depending sometimes more sometimes less. I dont use lift at all during the day if its hot if in general if the whether is unbearable and the air is WARM/hot, there is no point putting so much stress on the engine. But at night or when its cooler in the evenings/raining periods, yeah I hit it a couple of times.

E-gene: Mate your speakers are matched to the current stereo/head unit in your sportivo (factory), and most of the time these are usually a low power setup. I have run an aftermarket head unit (pioneer) in the celica and have found it to give an overall boost to the stock speakers (splits front, std speakers rear). I was contemplating using a Line out converter to run an amplifier and subwoofer setup as you are now, but after hearing a few setups I decided to go with a newer head unit with more funtionality (mp3 etc). Everyone here is telling you to buy a good high pass filter and roll with your idea. Its not a bad idea and will certainly improve on your standard setup, but alot of people dont take to running a line out converter. No matter what anyone says, there will always be a loss in sound quality, especially when the volume is turned right up (ofcourse this depends upon the products used). But at the end of the day it comes down to your budget. You can only install what you can afford . Running an amp of the stock unit can mean saving hundreds of dollars versus <$100 is parts for a converter. If you can, listen to a few setups that have used the stock system running amps using these line-out converters/filters, and see if there is an audible/significant difference. If it sounds ok, go for it, at the end of the day its not an expensive mod to add (converter that is) and you can always build/change the setup if your not happy later on (say with a newer head unit/amps etc..)

chris that engine would last all of one year by the sounds of it. These mods are nice, but as a daily driver, is he rapes the **** out of his engine, how long do you really think it will last, before something goes wrong. Also you forgot, addding a mugen sticker to the front screen is good for 5kw, so he'll be like 175kws

that american kit is kinda

if you have time check out some of the celica websites. The TRD exhaust has been engineered for the celica (2ZZ) engine, and offers decent power increses for such a simple mod. It is probably the one I will invest in soon enough, i think a few people here have it too!

w3rd homie y'all be showing some respect now. :D /sportivothugs4life bahahaha
