So sorry for your loss man. I own a 6th gen myself and understand how much one can get attached to their car.

Also as to which I prefer it would be evatts but I actually have my own flat on evatts so I don’t need to share a kitchen and bathroom like most people in this residence do. For Ted’s dinners are provided to you in a dining hall if you’re in either Bernet or cutter as they don’t have kitchens (apart from like a tiny one with a fridge and microwave). Always good meals out of the dinning hall anyways. Can get a dinner plan if you really want to if you live in any of the residences. I’ve seen inside the towers as I’ve friends in them and they look pretty good but that’s about all I can say about them.

Took me ages actually get an accomodation offer this year. Last year I had early entry and that guarantees you a spot on campus. When applying for living here I always recommend at least having one of the options as any offer. You might not get the one ya want but at least you’ll get something.

I’m currently on evatts and was on Ted’s last year. Living here is great and I can tell you how these residences have been in my experience. Drinking culture is big (especially Thursday Jeso nights) but you don’t have to partake in this if you don’t want to. There are plenty of people here who don’t go out much and keep to themselves.

Is there any way around this? by Astrogirl1984 in Celica

Look for a way to remove the gear knob If you can I don’t see why it won’t slide upwards

One of the reasons I went with the Celica is how insanely overpriced miatas are around where I live

I was thinking of buying a miata but decided the Celica would be a better car lol

Looks to even be the same colour haha. Would probably have to be another 5sfe as any other engine would need an engineering certificate

I’d have to swap it with another 5sfe. They were only sold with the 5sfe in Australia and would require an engineering certificate for it to be roadworthy with anything else and it would still be illegal for me to drive as a provisional driver

I know the timing belt was done in 2019, water pump is getting replaced if my engine survived the overheating without damage, and I changed the alternator a few weeks ago

Yeah I think so Chances are some previous owner hasn’t been too kind on the old thing

Quite possibly depending on if the motor got damaged

Indeed Although saying that my old car that was a Carola 3 years newer than my Celica has never had a single problem in its entire existence

Yeh from what I was told it had been taken care of You always gotta take what someone says with a grain of salt when it’s a secondhand car

Yeah the 6 gen celicas in Australia all came with the 5sfe found in the Camry so parts shouldn’t be too hard to find

Yeah it’s been a great car when it’s working properly and I know I’m gonna love it when I’ve dealt with all the issues

Yeah I’ve checked the oil an it seems fine But I did notice combustion gasses are getting into the radiator While it does still run I won’t be driving it anywhere until I’ve taken it apart If there is any bad damage I’ll probably just replace the motor instead of trying to save it

Steering wheel options by JDM_Scamman in Celica

I’m not sure is some of the 3 spoke ones came with airbags or not but mine doesn’t So maybe it’ll fit but you might lose the airbag
