I'm going to see a 5th gen Celica on Friday

I'm going to see a 5th gen Celica on Friday.
Is there anything in particular I should watch for?

Which engine?

3SGE

Awesome
Oil leaks
Timing belt
Front main seal
Rear main seal
CV boots
Valve stem seals

I checked the MOT history and there was an advisory for an oil leak, was speaking to the seller today and he brought it up first saying there's a little leak from the rocker cover. Shouldn't be anything too major, right? Apart from that he said it's all good but we'll see about that when I actually see it in person.

Yeah valve cover isnt too bad. Just all that intake in the way.
Be aware that the spark plug holes will fill with oil if its leaking from that area

Yeah, rusted bolts. Car is old and cheap, not sure why you're wasting your time with a beanermobile.

Everyone will think you're Mexican driving that Celica, and they will constantly pester you to buy it. That's not a compliment to say the least.

Meant to clarify when I say 'they' I mean Mexicans

I owned a 91 Celica a few years back. It was like a Lamborghini to Mexicans

>3sge
>america
Youre clearly as smart as the mexicans

Did I say I owned that engine? Quote me where I said that or even implied that. Dumb fuck

And yeah enjoy looking like a poorfag beaner

Hahahahaha dumb faggot
OP isnt in america you stupid cunt.
You would know that if you werent stupid poor white trash.
Get back to your trailer jethro

>busrider

Oh hes just a scumbag. Thats worse than a bus rider

>nissan scum

LOL

You just mad because your memespouting was ineffective? He actually has nicer cars while you're looking to buy a 25 year old FWD shitbox lmao

Just love seeing these ad hominem fags on Veeky Forums get btfo

>nissan
>nice cars
Hahaha stfu scumbag

>post count stayed the same

Back to your containment thread scumbag

where does "nissan scum" originate?

Nissans are scummy cars driven by scum.

Keep flinging those worthless subjective shitposts, maybe you'll get an upvote XD

I posted earlier and had the thread on refresh, it's almost like you don't know how this site works.

Exactly you retarded scumbag, you posted your scum and are now in tears trying to defend your poor life choices.

I created it.
Only niggers and spics drive nissans
On top of that they are poorly built, unreliable garbage that no sane person would buy.
All of their models are btfo by other manufacturers
They made it worse by partnering with renault
At one point they sold 3 full size sedans.
The sentra, altima, and maxima all had the same dimensions.
Fucking joke of a company

Forgot your Autism meds today?

stupid dumb nissan scum

>half the posts by a scumbag defending his rotsuns

LOL

You probably lost to an Altima, amirite? Was it the 2.5?

...

That's a nice mr2 but the engine is in the wrong place

That's a limited edition FF MR2 silly.

In all seriousness I did consider an SW20 since they're cheap as fuck and easily available here but I do need the 4 seats and actual storage space for a daily.

based pop-ups

St18x is good daily. People don't really think they are cool but I would take one over an integra any day.

Look out for power steering leaks. Hopefully it has the 10 speaker system.

these are some nice ass cars. Great taste!

Great taste, senpai.

>Being a scumbag

I own an ST185. Check the brake lines, they tend to rust in the rear. If it has that sunroof, the rockers and rear quarters are probably riddled with rust.

Good luck.

You stupid faggot the detuned version was only in the 4th gen

No rust advisories on MOT history for the last 10 years and apparently it's been garaged the whole life.
We'll see though.

Good. Other than not saving up and trying to find the GT4, you'll be fine. Those engines are pretty bulletproof. Add a turbo.

The 3sge wasnt available in america after the St160.
There is no "detuned" 3sge either
Kys for being so stupid

How is gen iv celica from 1987?
Was thinking about getting it since I like the 80's car looks and has a reasonable price

Good

If you buy a Celica, get a GT4. Not worth it for the FWD.

Any particular reason why?

Can't afford to run a GT4, those things are fucking money-pits.
I considered a GC8 Impreza WRX but even the upkeep of those can be a bit much.

FWD is perfectly fine for a daily Celica and won't cost an arm and a leg to maintain, unlike a gt4. don't listen to him

Having driven both, the FWD is just not as fun, and the stock turbo is such a good feeling on the GT4.
If you just want a decent daily, get the FWD. If you want an amazing car, get the GT4.

>If you just want a decent daily

Precisely what I'm after.
If I was getting a project/toy, it would have to be the GT4.

Then, you're fine. Parts are plentiful. The interior is a bit spartan, but it has that nice, Gen 4 Supra, everything is tilted towards you, thing.
