eNtrax's 3rd celica (3S-GE/5SP)

YES THATS RIGHT. I finally got the car I want.

The car has 223k and has been restored by the previous owner, 1 year old paint, interior looks good, motor pulls hard, trans is good!

Sold both GT cars to him + $1000 for this car. He's got a 3s-ge in his garage with .020 oversize that he's gonna put into my 1st celica and he's gonna play around with it for autocross.

He gave me two sets of the 10spoke wheels, one set of the honeycomb wheels, all of which we know comes stock with our celicas. there's little shits like plastic pieces missing, some wiring mess, but all in all, she's fast as hell! she does slow down at 6.5-7k rpm, you guys know anything about that?

PICS TMRW!

 

i still have the digi dash, i was tempted to include it in the deal....but i kept it quiet

 

we'll see, i don't know if i want to put the digi on the GE

 

thanks guys!

so some diagnosis:
-heater problem, doesn't go from hot to cold (what a surprise), pretty sure this only needs the resoldering fix
-trunk latch area rust, spare tire area needs attention, wheel fender lips need attention, some rust is starting to be visible...
-fuel level stays at full, even with a different sender.
-tiny exhaust leak

WAYYYY easier than my other car lol

work done this week:
-fixed driver's side power windows
-LED everywhere (can't stand the yellowish courtesy lights)
-replaced non-matching grey interior bits to blue. (it's supposed to be blue, but previous owner had grey on it...)
-overall clean up: previous owner was a smoker...fucking ashtray was gross; trunk area was a pool...
-claybar!
-facelift front end + euro corners
-autopal h4's + 6000k hid's
-new spark plug wires (old ones were ripped...

Check out my emissions testing:
2011-10-12 @ 224,000km
DRIVING: 8 ppm HC/0.00% CO/23 ppm NOx
IDLE: 8 ppm HC/0.00 % CO

 

- fuel gauge fixed, after a new sender, i realized it only needed a new gauge...oh well new for both now lol
- passenger's side locking mechanism needs some adjustment, it only unlocks halfway when a key is used.

HVAC controls still don't move the motor. i've detached the motor from everything, yet it doesn't rotate at all. rick89, do you have a working one from your 86 gt-s that i can borrow to try out??

previous owner was a smoker...i've tried a plethora of scents but the smoke smell keeps on coming back, how do i get rid of this??
