icon10.gif  My ?A61 Celica XX - Now NOT powered! Mon, 22 November 2004 00:39 Go to next message
Hey, I thought I'd finally put up one of these things for at least one of my cars.

I have a Dec '83 Celica XX.
7M-GTE powered, until Damo buys the motor off me.

Factory options are as follows.
Sunroof
Cruise Control
Cruise Computer
Digidash
Manual
No LSD
Black interior
Auto Aircon
Little portable map reading light thingy
Hatch cover
Park bench rear bumper
Head light washers
Under bonnet light
The list goes on, but I'll leave it there

Some pics you ask?

Oh, its huge.
All Celica XX's have the park bench.

NO! the damn cruise/trip computer doesn't work.
It get constant power, accessories power, ignition power, and earth, so something must be blown inside it.
I opened it up (VERY basic) but nothing was obvious.
Will give it to someone who knows what they are doing to check it.

But with the 7MGTE it will read WAY out, so, it will be useless.

Cruise doesn't work either, gotta sort that one out.

I talked to JCMF about that clutch LSD, I am tempted by it I must admit.

Cruise computer + control would be great, but a PITA to set up.

What engine did your XX come with factory?

Factroy 5M-GEU, still registered with it too Rolling Eyes

You know the cruise control and the cruise computer have nothing to do with each other?

Forgot to mention, dunno whats been done to the suspension, but this is what I can tell

Rear springs look stock, not sure why it sits so low, maybe they are fux0r3d?
Rear shocks are Monroe. Silver canister, dunno what model. Any idea?

Front springs are blue, I am assuming Lovells standard height replacements?
Front shocks I dont know, and won't know until I pull them out, but its pretty hard.
They are probably the same as the rear.

I need some Kings and Tokico's

Wow, looks a lot like mine ... right down to the blue Lovells in the front. Though I've put Kings and KYB Gas-Adjusts in the back. And improved upon the 5ME a bit. Razz Tell me that's not a monster windscreen washer bottle in the rear right if the engine bay!

Yeah, it had a polish, and I didn't take any snaps of the other side on purpose.
Its not very nice.

However, I have a litre of paint sitting in my shed just bursting to be applied.

Hahah, nah, I don't even know if they work.

When I bought the car, the horn didnt work, but just last week, it started working.
But I don't know if its the air horns (I don't think they are airhorns) or the normal horn.

Meh

Its not lacoocarahcha either.

Will it basically be the same process as per the MX73 ? Are there any forced induction plans at all ?
