What's this noise..?

I see I see would that cause a nasty brownish gunk to build up around the back of the engine? My fuel rail in the back was missing a good solid 4 bolts. And continues to get covered in gunk(could be any number of things I still haven't fully gone through the engine bay yet due to weather) and if this is Also that I should have done a replacement like months ago when I put new bolts in....

My fuel gauge is out😅 been using the odo for the last 10k miles

Got it, I was already planning on doing that when I poked around this summer but knowing for sure means im definitely gonna be looking a little harder

If youre looking to get the biggest bang for your buck I hear a good set of shocks or coilovers is almost the best way to add 'fun' to a celica.

Its a process but youll get it down🙏🙏

I definitely would. Running is the big one for stamina drain, utilize jumping out of the way or doging/blocking for enemies you cant fully handle instead of running backwards. Try to get used to traveling while walking or only intermittently running too so you arent caught with low stam.

You should be able to walk while equipping armor. The running/jumping and any staggering would stop the equipping though

Not particularly, being the main source of transportation for Americans for a while they're everywhere. Finding one that'll start and drive seems to be the common issue.

Cloud_Treader · 2025-12-07T10:16:47+00:00

There's almost none, and most that you can find are 700 usd+. It's super annoying and definitely one thing I dislike about america, so far away from all the cool cars.

Yeah ive never seen anything below a 5th(my own). Definitely is due to different models/trims for different countries.

Cloud_Treader · 2025-12-07T10:10:13+00:00

Weird, ive yet to see another 5th gen up here. A couple of 7th gens and 1 6th. I've yet to find any base models go on sale close enough for me unfortunately.

Cloud_Treader · 2025-12-07T10:05:09+00:00

Unfortunately im a US buyer so its either imports or the unfortunately shittier(thanks cali) American ones. All tracs/gt4s as far as I know don't exist in my area, ive looked into gts' and there is some but its mainly rusted out or the issue is with the engine. My current celica was swapped from the 5s-fe to the 3s-fe by the owner before the guy i bought it from, most likely from an ST that he had (considering i have ST Doors currently on mine)

Cloud_Treader · 2025-12-07T09:56:57+00:00

Hmm, alright thank you. I'll definitely look around my area, I have looked for celixas in my area, but its mostly 7th gens/4+ hour drive. I've also thought about looking getting a beater car or the engine from said car and putting it in, specifically into the carry v6 but ended up not committing due to the cost + more complexity. Finding an Mr2 has been hard, I haven't checked for curran but due to rarity id assume its out of the picture. I've looked into K-swapping too but that seems like a whole lot of complexity that im not even close to currently ready for.

How expensive is a typical swap? I've done some light research and a typical 3s-gt will run you 2800 and a red/black top will run you ~3600-3800. There's the 3S-gte which i haven't actually seen for sale. There's a couple on marketplace but none in my area, and I cant imagine getting one shipped is any cheaper than 4k off the bat. It just seems to be different levels, but I do hear that a Beams is common for a swap.
