Still looking

Have posted on OZCelica as well. As per title, looking for; a drivers door card, needs to be in good condition, and not broken like mine! (the arm rest is farked - is this common??) a pair of front seats in as good condition as poss, normal wear is fine but please no holes/tears/burns (my drivers seat right bolster is worn through to the foam), same trim as pic below if possible, otherwise I'll take matching front & rear seats replacement carpet, again needs to be in good condition, ours is worn through on the tranny tunnel near the drivers footrest!! can't recall if they come in 2 halves, front & rear, if they do we only need the front half. Located Brisbane Northside, but willing to travel 3-4hrs for the right parts at the right price! hopefully someone can help B)

wow, plenty of views but no answers.... OK, unsure if they are 1.5 thread pitch, but replacements are readily available through your Toyota dealership....around $6 for a new one.... To change rear wheel studs you need to; jack up car (chuck it on axle stands!!) remove wheel handbrake off unbolt brake caliper, sit it on the lateral suspension arms remove handbrake adjuster grommet on brake rotor face and slacken handbrake shoes right off pull rotor off hammer out the offending stud carefully install new stud so it's nice and square, use wheel lug nut to pull it through reinstall rotor reinstall caliper (attach a brake bleeder kit, and crack the bleed nipple to push the piston back) adjust handbrake (tighten adjuster so handbrake shoes just bite, then slacken 3-4 clicks) put wheel back on that's about it I think!! shouldn't take long and minimal tools needed.

Can anyone confirm they're M12x1.5? and they're replaceable through the back of the dust cover? Cheers Rob

Hi guys, Newbie forum member, hoping you can help me out.... Background: car is a dead stock Celica SSII auto, so has the 3SGE with A140E transmission. We've owned it for 4 years and never had any probs whatsoever until late last week...... Backed it out of the garage and discovered 3-4 teaspoons of engine oil had leaked out from somewhere......damn I thought.... Peered up underneath and found the following (excuse pics quality); Does this look familiar to you guys? the leaking is pretty much localised to what you see in the pics, as you can see the oil has travelled up & down the engine mount crossmember thingy. There's no oil leaking down the back of the head/block, and no oil leaking from the dizzy so I'm thinking either leaking sump or leaking rear mail seal....any definite thoughts/ideas?? The local dealer "wasn't too sure" and quoted AUD$140 to replace the sump gasket (is there one??), but said it would be around AUD$700 if it's a rear main seal. Now that sounds absolutely ridiculous given the cost of seal kits - is he off his head?? As an aside, the ST202 Celica never had the 3SGE here in Auz (much like the States) but the MR2 did....so it's not like the Toyota dealers will be unfamiliar with the motor..... Q: is the Celica 3SGE much different from the MR2 3SGE?? they're both transverse so I guess not...? Couple of new pics: I undid the engine crossmember to get a better view. Q: if the main seal has gone, should I expect the ring gear to be splashed with oil?? it looks clean, but there's a small pool at the bottom, you can see it in the mirror... Hoping you can shed some light on this for me, I had a good look around but couldn't really find what I need to know. Cheers all Rob
