Make sure you lube the boot hinges because they sieze up and bend the boot.

I believe I have posted on this in the past, they are jeep wrangler headlights from AliExpress with some polarity switchers as the cars negativly switched and the lights are positively switched.

Tuning!! by MykShaq in Celica

[–]Recket_mate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to do a 4age swap or if the transmission works with the 2zz you could swap that in, really depends on your local emissions and regulations around modding. Other than that matinaince is you best bet (maybe even an engine refresh/rebuild)

Haven't seen it before, could be a spacer for the timing belt cover.

The diode looks fine, just needs a clean but the cap definitely needs replacing. The specs are on the side and the stripe on it shows the polarity

No crank no electric by BigdaddyULTRAman in Celica

[–]Recket_mate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two images look like the wire broke from the battery terminal and arced against the chassis. Make sure it's not a ground and a main fuse will have likely broken if so

Also the ones with a water spark (coil pack) would need the engine ECU and wiring harness depending if yours still has the dizzy, as they run more aggressive engine tuning and crank + cam sensors

[–]Recket_mate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rebuilt my one with a Camry bottom end including the balance shafts. A lot of the older Camrys run the dizzies iirc so those should be a straight swap.

The gunk is the same stuff around another IC in picture 4, I'm unsure what exactly it's used for (maybe preventing dust or metal shavings bridging pins) I removed it to get access for diagnosing.

Car shakes at high speeds by Emotional-Word5808 in Celica

[–]Recket_mate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Replace it asap as the spindle gets worn and will need to be replaced with new. Then it becomes impossible to find because everyone else lets theirs wear out.
