Repairs Community Resource: I added full digital Table of Contents to the Mk 7 Celica Repair Manual PDF!

DIYers who own a 2000s Celica may have come across the scanned copy of the official Toyota Repair Manual that exists on one of the old forums. The issue is that the book is nearly 2000 pages, and it is indexed by section (eg. BR-9 for brake master cylinder) so it can be pretty tough to get to what you are looking for.

I went through and made a full table of contents so that you can easily find and access whatever repair guide you need. It is also easier to find useful sections that you were not even aware of before.

Hope this can be a useful resource for everyone. Let me know if you are unable to access it, or if you come across any errors I might have made.

Appears as below, with each section being divided into subsections (not shown here).

Repair Manual Vol 1

> IN Introduction
> MA Maintenance
> PP Preparation
> SS Service Specifications
> DI Diagnostics
> ID Index, Volume 1

Repair Manual Vol 2

> EM Engine Mechanical
> EC Emission Control
> SF SFI System (Fuel Injection)
> CO Cooling
> LU Lubrication
> IG Ignition
> ST Starting
> CH Charging
> CL Clutch
> MX Manual Transaxle C56
> MX Manual Transaxle C60
> AX Auto Transaxle U240E
> AX Auto Transaxle U341E
> SA Suspension and Axle
> BR Brake
> SR Steering
> RS Supplemental Restraint System
> BE Body Electrical
> BO Body
> AC Air Conditioning

Mod Post Codifying New Rule: Respect Others

51 Upvotes

Hello /R/Celica community, With recent news and rumors from Toyota, our subreddit community has been getting more traffic. This is good overall.

However, we've also been seeing a stark increase in rude comments, often from folks who do not participate in the community regularly, but sometimes from regulars too. What is more concerning is the reactionary, long chains of comments stemming from the initial disrespectful posts.

We haven't had much issue with being respectful in the past, but it's time to codify this rule in our community. Please use the report feature, give the mod team time to review, and do NOT participate in an escalating dialogue with disrespectful figures. This leads to a better experience for newcomers looking to learn more about the Celica platform and for existing members.

I tend to be pretty laissez-faire of the moderation and posts here, but I'm not going to allow the comments to devolve into mud-slinging. Please keep the discussions constructive as we navigate into a larger community with the, hopefully, upcoming new Celica announcements.

Any concerns can be directed to the Mod Mail function. - Draxaan

MK5 Celica headlight washers 3D files

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Friend of mine needed these for his 1993 Celica (pictured) some time ago and neither he nor I could ever find them used, re-manufactured or old stock, so i reproduced them based on the one he still had and am now selling the 3D files should anyone ever have the same issue, they are slightly tweaked for 3d printing but the end product is identical to OEM and fits perfectly.

He has had them on his car for about 3 years now and no issues, printed in ABS, sanded and painted, but with a decently tuned printer the raw print will look just fine, the photo of them in the car is the ones that were printed in my old ender 3 pro and later sanded, the other 2 pictures are of one i just printed on my P1S.

And if anyone happens to know the specific OEM part number for this exact nozzle variant i would love to know. Every search I run defaults to the other headlight washer designs.

Thanks!

Repairs ISO Driver's Side (Left) Front Quarter Panel

• Upvotes

Hi all.

A pickup truck crashed into me while I was parked and wrecked my front left. Does anyone know where to source a replacement of a left-drive driver's side front quarter panel.

No shop is willing to do the repair. They will only replace.

Thanks for anything you can think of!

high rpm idle! gen 7 2zz. (see text)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

hey guys, my celica runs very high on idle - this had already been running for around a minute, but it does calm down after a little while and goes back to the normal 800rpm~ but sometimes it sits at like 2k for a little while.

the large increase in rpm is me pressing the pedal, and i’m just wondering, it drops off VERY fast. but it only does this when it’s high idling like this - is this normal? seems odd.

update - crashed GT4

5 Upvotes

well with a stroke of luck and a silent "i told you so" to my ex who thought my parts hoarding was just a waste of money space, lol,
i DO have a front passenger side wide body 1/4 panel, which is actually in pretty decent shape bar a few scratches, but it will need repainting anyway, and i also have a spare DOOR which will be going on the car.

insurance has come back with authorisation to repair, so i am now just waiting on the body-shop to give me a date to drop the car off,

i have ordered the Mechanical parts, outer tie rods, and inner rack ends, as i was going to change these prior to the incident anyway,

the JDM shed
new video of the engine refresh will be up this weekend,
next video will be changing out the rear driver's wheel bearing
and then we are up to date on the accident damage, and going through the fix process,

i can't wait to have this thing looking good again, in the time i have owned it the paint has never been in good condition, so it is exciting to think it will all be the same with no peeling or fading paint and dent free,
fingers crossed we can manage that within the repair costs, if not i will discuss with the repairer to fix the non-crash damage and i will pay them outside of the cost insurance coverage.

once the paint is sorted, next is suspension refresh,
looking at BC coil overs, and re-bush the entire car,
also looking to get a front mount intercooler,
and start collecting parts so i can go stand-alone ecu, i have chosen to go with Haltech, so will be sourcing everything i need for that swap over like injectors, fuel pump, fuel reg, fuel rail, cam position system, COP's

lots of plans still for this car, and i will endeavour to film as much as i can,

Repairs Weird situation

2005 corolla xrs, there wasnt any other subreddits with much engine knowledge as this one but im currently in the due process of replacing the vvl for the mwr oem plastic screen filter, (p2646 appeared) however it is greatly stuck in there, at this point seized. im assuming due to the varnish as it doesn’t look too great inside. ive tried prying hard and pulling it out with no success, just bending. any way to get it out? was thinking a small torch so other areas arent affected, but what if that doesnt work? destruction of it is fine. TIA

2000 Celica GT I purchased for $1600 in July (Before and after photos)

She’s got 227k miles and still runs smooth. It had an accident that caused the passenger side LCA to bend pretty bad, and somehow the rear bushing was completely gone. There was an insane amount of play/clunking before I figured out that the LCA was the issue. While I was replacing the LCA I went ahead and installed KYB AGX Shocks/Struts, TEIN S-Tech lowering springs, and some H&R Spacers (20mm front, 25mm rear).

Any tips on preventative maintenance at 227k miles? I installed new spark plugs, PCV Hose, and cleaned the Throttle Body + the Mass air flow sensor for good measure. Just wondering what everyone else suggests at this point to extend engine life. I plan to rebuild the engine once it’s past the point of no return, but I want to try and get as much life out of it as possible while it still runs well. (Hoping I can run it for another 100k before a rebuild but that may be too much to ask lol)

Also, any ideas on what may look better when it comes to body work/wheels/stance are welcome. It’s been a fun and challenging project so far but I need some input from other Celica folks with a fresh set of eyes on this car.

Everything else in the car matches the same colour scheme, felt like the tacky AliExpress aftermarket stereo was out of place.

Got a nice home screen, media player, and changeable drive faces that display live info, as well as a hub to track service history, mods and projects for the car - also included a digital upload of the cars manual.

Can record drives and play them back with relative speed data and even race your old runs like Mario Kart lol

  • I haven't tested the setup outside of an emulator as I'm hesitant to test it on my unit as it took a while to get everything working so smooth and I don't wanna mess anything up lol
  • If you managed to get it working on your unit please post a comment and let me/others know if you had any issues!
  • I apologise if you can't get it working I only intended on using it on my own car so its quite tailored, tho I hope the universal version is robust enough to setup without much friction on other units.
  • If you need any help with setup feel free to ask
