Welcome friend! What part of SC are you from? I am actually going to get my old car back (sold it about 2 1/2 years ago) after it had gone through a few hands. I live in Columbia. My car isn't running or driving yet though lol.

Welcome friend. I am actually in the Mooresville area in NC. My car isn't running at the moment but I plan to have it here and driving in the next month or so.

I used to live in Quebec!!! I use to be fluent in French too, but I haven't spoken much in about 7 years so it has begun to fade.

Welcome to the site though!!

I gotcha. I really appreciate it though! I'm going to look into it. I'm ready to get it back on the road.

Oh wow man! I appreciate it! I actually got a 5speed from my buddy with a 20r I bought. It's just sitting for now. What I reall need is the pedal assembly. What year is your car? Or do you still have it? I haven't seen another 1st gen around.

Turns out that stuff is parraffin wax that has been removed from oil that is probably ages old. From all the heat and such, it likes to collect in tight areas, like the valve springs. I hope to fix the stick valve too. I think some fresh oil and some de carbon will help.

Yeah. I have no idea what this stuff is. I would like to say a chemical reaction to fluids mixing, but I don't know. I've never seen it before. But at any rate. It didn't fix my issue. So I'll just drive the car until she quits and then either swap another 18rc into it or if I have the money, I'll j...

I will definitely be doing a compression test. I did, however, pull off the valve cover to see if anything was noticeably wrong. Well, I found this... http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt95/SVTflyer03/4d30ea71.jpg It has the consistancy of jello. I wanted to eat it, but I'm pretty sure that would h...

Awesome! Thank you so much man! You've beena huge help! Only problem I have now, is actually burning oil. Doesn't smoke to bad, but then again a have tons of exhaust leaks. But you can just sit there and listen to the motor run and it sounds to me that it has a pretty messed up valve. Not positive, ...

I just saw the edit. ^^ that's crazy. I'm actually not a huge fan of the goldish paint color. The interior doesn't bother me though. I do have some big plans for the car eventually. Power plant swap, paint, lowered, the whole game really. But I am in school and currently unemployed so that may be an...

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Thank you. And I'm all updated!

Hello all, I just picked up my Celica today! I am super excited about it. Not in the best shape by any means but she is definiteyl clean. Main things I need to clean/fix are weatherstripping, driver rear window does not work (off the track I do believe), Some minor rust on the roof and trunk pan, no...
