[Mister Celery]

uhhhh maybe......

damn yes LOL

[Shizuma]

Hahahaha Lololo Roflcoptr!!!!11

[vegeta4ss]

i hope he fixed what was wrong with it if he's selling it.

[Mister Celery]

^^ whats wrong with it?

the rubbing?

[GotParts]

hey guys whats good gotta question is it worth it to convert my auto celica to 5spd

[bman365]

Probably not.. what year is your car. You can probably get a gt for around $5-6k now.

There was a guy in nc selling a gt for a little under $5k..not sure if it still is.

the midblade needed a whole new clearcoat. the left side base of the wing had a small crack in the outer fiberglass because I used too long of a screw and it cracked the surface. This one isn't a big deal because it will get covered with primer when you paint it. and finally...the rubbing. F'd up my paint.

I'm pretty sure mine didn't mount correctly either (hence, why there is 2 sets of holes in the base unit), but I'm almost convinced my hatch holes were not drilled correctly so you want to check with filegro and see if the back of the end caps hung over the edge of the trunk on his celi too or if it was just mine that it did that on.

If it really is my old wing, then it should be super cheap. I let him give me $200 something for it and that was 2+ years ago. Don't let me scare you though, it should still be a good part.

[vegeta4ss]

woah, hold the phone. Didn't you get your hatch welded shut when your car went in the bodyshop? Don't drill more holes. Trade hatches with me. I'll pay for paint.

unless you have a parts car available probably not. You could trade up and come out with a lot less work involved.

[Mister Celery]

^ I think i can remedy all those problems with some extra elbow grease thanks for the heads up

as for the hatch I wouldn't mind swapping but if the holes weren't drill correctly it would add trouble for me with the fitment of the wing. and I cannot afford the downtime. If you could address these two issues i wouldn't mind swapping hatches with you

my hatch holes were filled & shaved and repainted not wielded shut
i use the space in the back here and there :P

yeah after I posted I remembered the thing with the holes. Oh well. It was worth a shot. If you had another car this would work.

[vegeta4ss]

oh, and i'm confident that when the wing is mounted in the proper alignment the contact area under the tips of the endcaps will be minimal. You can probably bring the area down a bit. I'm not sure if the cap is hollow inside though, so don't go too far.

[vegeta4ss]

ok so since I am getting the new manifold and stuff I decided it's time to sell my beloved rare @ss intake - my TPR 2piece. It literally takes 5 mins or less to convert from CAI/Short Ram, or vice versa.

I wanted to offer it to you guys first because I would like to keep it around this area rather than selling it to someone out west or overseas. Make me a solid offer and it's yours. I might even be able to get it painted whatever color you'd like. Currently it's a silver that almost matches 1d0 exterior paint.

I have the same wing and mine rubs/hits on the passenger side.
You'll be coming right by me on your way to Anderson.

[03GTSTRD]

vegeta4ss I sent you a PM about the Cusco bar. MWR refunded my money so I will definitely buy yours. Thanks man.

[Elkal900]

Have any pics of the intake Vegeta? I wonder if it will still fit with the SC...

[vegeta4ss]

i'll take one or two of the inner pipe at the maf sensor that has the dividers and stuff. I gotta put the CAI lower pipe back on to show how it looks installed as a cai.

but here it is in short ram form:

[sleeprcelica]

any chance all you guys would want to have a east coast meet, maybe in charlotte this summer? I havent seen one and one love to meet all yall!

[hmartin303]

Charlotte meet?? Just let me know a date, and i'll attempt to pass the word on to the other Wilmington celicas...

[bman365]

Was suppose to have one around new years but no date was set.

We are only 25 google minutes away. There is this other guy on the forum that lives near connelly springs and he/she has a cousin that has a celica..so maybe we can meet up?

^ good deal if you aren't busy that day itll be great if we can meet up





lets do it! this time we'll have a location, time ,and date......

i think charlotte is a prime spot if people are coming from Greenville , Wilmington and the western part of NC

you guys want to meet at a park and do a pot luck type of meet?

[hmartin303]

or we could go to Dave and Busters .... lol ive never been there and itd be a reason to go! but anything sounds good to me. just as long as the parking lot is big enough, and details are completely set before hand.

i remember we tried to do a jacksonville meet, but things changed after I left the house and wasn't able to check the website to find out where everyone was. so i drove and hour up, an hour around, and an hour home.. eventful day

[bman365]

What is dave and busters.

[Mister Celery]

its like a bar + celebration station combined
err its more like a casino

I hope everyone here is 18 and older because they wont let you in without ID

[bman365]

Oh..well I'm not 21 yet so I guess that means I will have the least fun.

[Elkal900]

Only other time I've been to Dave and Busters was at a celica meet in Atl, they have a big ass arcade if you are into that kind of thing its a blast 21 or not

[bman365]

I meant the casino and bar part. I can play the hell out of some arcade..or bowling if it's that type of place too.

[Mister Celery]

^ oh no its not a casino lol

i was just simply saying the atmosphere is like one

because there is a lot of people drinking and playing on machines

[bman365]

Well you said casino..so I thought gambling.

[hmartin303]

its just because its set up like one .. huge as room of games, but not all just arcade games from what i understand.. but we had Wilson's here in Wilmington, but it shut down plus i turn 21 in 2 weeks so i'll have to bring a DD with me !!! lol

[Trikster04]

yall wait till late june ill be home from deployment

[vegeta4ss]

alex, how have you been? Long time no see.

[03GTSTRD]

I would love to attend a meet but Charlotte might be a little to far for me. If it's in Greenville SC I can come though.

[Trikster04]

ah not doin too bad, sittin here soakin up the sun in the Desert lol. Saving up $$$ to get the celica paid off and hopefully the bike.

[Mister Celery]

^ hey tanner im about to hit an oil change you still want to split the cost of a case of oil filters?

[hmartin303]

[Mister Celery]

^ hes located in flowery branch, Georgia according to his location tag

[bman365]

Anybody interested in a primered carbon fiber cargo cover.

i guess that means its a fiberglass cover now? What happened to the fibers?




Ok so does anyone want this TPR intake? Since there's only like 50 in existence I wanted to keep it close to home with it's next owner. I'm going to list it later today in the main for sale area unless someone speaks up.

That is correct man!

The wing is very tempting even though I won't use it now. I could put it on my stock hatch where my TRD wing was incase I ever sell the carbon fiber hatch and go back to stock.

It's the thought that counts carbon. But I think it had too many bubbles in the epoxy. Will sell cheap..trying to find out how thick they do the top coating to see if it's that bad.

Nam, buy this and paint it silver. The carbon probably could have been fixed though unless the bubbles were really deep into the epoxy.

[vegeta4ss]

At least $100. I was hoping to get close to $150 but i'm open to negotiation.

Before I can sell it I need a new set of the silcone couplers that connect the pipes. One got old and dry, and ripped open. They were blue but I am replacing with black since it's more of a generic color. Also includes the little 3" VSV filter and instructions.

How far toward the passenger side of the car does the intake go before it bends down?

That's where my cruise control sits now, I was wondering if it would fit in there.
