Is a Toyota Celica a girl car?
depends on the year
anything later than 1995 then yes
i have a 1987 Toyota celica gt and am a proud owner
HELL NO A CELECA IS FOR SURE A MAN AND WOMAN CAR I HAVE A 2003 AND I FOR SURE A MAN !!! BEST CAR I EVER HAD !!
I am a man and I own a 2003 solar yellow Toyota celica and it gets all the girls to look. I love it. so I have to say also that it is a MAN'S car.
ok if anyone thought a solar yellow was a girl car color i got an 03 celica and its metallic baby blue. its gonna become red soon but for now i look good in it. i think it depends on what you do to your celica to make it a guy or girl car. i see mostly girls in my town in them and my friend too but they don't "trick out" their car as much as guys go all out for. and also i see more girls in camaros than i do guys and ain't nobody sayin anything. so it all depends iv only seen two baby blue celicas and its me and some other guy. no girls lol if you wanna talk about a girl car go to the chevey colbalts talk about girl car!!!!
How to replace windshield washer pump on 1994 Toyota Celica?
I've had a look at mine today as I've got the same problem. My model is the '94 GT-Four. I got to my pump (which is offside front, in the wing) by removing 3 of the splash guard screws along the bottom front of the front bumper and 1 of the splash guard screws in the front of the wheel arch. Then the splash guard can be peeled back to reveal the pump. As far as I can see this is 'popped' off, spilling all your washer fluid on the floor!! AND mine is full at the moment...that's why I haven't tackled it yet. I'll wait till I get the new pump!!
How do you change front wheel bearing on 1992 Toyota Celica?
it may be a press-in bearing, check the manual everyone should have a manual for their vechicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available in the reference section for FREE to make copies of--the PRO manual has more detailed info, and may have wiring diagrams when needed...read up and fix 'em like a PRO...good luck Dave :)
How do you change the light bulb in a 2000 Toyota Celica?
Could you please narrow down what lightbulb?
How do you remove a crankshaft bolt from a Toyota Celica?
Removing this bolt can be hard to do...-right? With the belts still on all pulleys, try spraying penetrating oil on and around the bolt...let it sit at least a half hour or longer to "work". Use an impact wrench. Mine is an electric DeWalt, which I found has way more torque than an air unit. Still no joy? You may have to CAREFULLY heat the bolt with a propane or MAP gas torch...(found at home centers, or if you really have to, Wal-Mart as a LAST resort. I try to avoid giving them my business) If you overheat the pulley, you can expect it to melt the rubber part. (it acts as a dampener in the pulley -yes, there is rubber there in between the pieces... Then try the wrench again. That should get her done. If not, keep applying penetrating oil...maybe overnight. Clove oil can work miracles too. Once the bolt is removed, you'll need a puller to get the pulley off. Auto Zone has a loaner tool for that. I use a steering wheel puller I happen to own and it works. You need to mark the point where the divit in the pulley edge matches TDC (top dead center) if you are doing a timing belt replacement. On my older Celicas, they mark the cover underneath the crank pulley, but not the housing underneath. You should also take the time to highlite the crankshaft cams-to-backing plates marks at top of engine if doing timing belt. I find ducking down helps while looking at cams/turning bolt on crank to get the spokes lined up with the marks that ARE on the backing plate here. (It is a bit difficult to get right if you look down at cams...especially as you can't really turn crank bolt pulley with your wrench that way, except with your foot! If you fail to get them in the right spot, you'll be off a tooth, and that would suck performance-wise. Good luck!
Whats the difference between a hatchback and a liftback?
Nothing. "Liftback" is a specific Toyota term. "Hatchback" is a general street term. Both mean the exact same thing. It is the type of car that when you open the "trunk" area, the rear window glass raises with the lid. As well, and since we are talking about it.. "Notchback" is the type of body style with a conventional trunk lid (like your grandpa's Buick) which is also a Celica model type.. but it looks a lot different from the back and side view than the liftback/hatchback models do.
Hey.. I know these things.. lol.. just look at my user name.
Where is the fuel filter located on a 1985 Toyota Celica st?
I have a 1985 celica GT and the fuel filter is located above the oil filter on the engine block. If the ST model has a 22re engine it should be the same.
Top speed for a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS?
Wrong: a 150hp 4-cylinder in a 29-3000lb car will only go about 125-130 max. Speedo's are not an indication of how fast a car can go. the speedometer says 160 but it would probably go faster but i dont wanna try it
How do you properly install a CD player in an Audi?
How do you fix wiring problems in a Toyota Celica?
First step: Check all your fuses! (driver's side kick panel, passenger side kick, two boxes inside engine bay. You also may have fuses on your positive battery terminal connection AND fuseable link wires coming from the terminal.
Pro mechanics always look first at the battery and grounds!!!! Most often, that is the place.
Check all your grounding points. look at the ones coming from negative battery terminal to frame and auxiliary motor ground(s) (little piece of wire bolted onto engine and then to frame.) I even added an extra one myself to be sure after almost completely melting one that had a plastic connector clip in the middle between two pieces of wire. The car "searches" for a ground if the main one isn't making good contact and will overheat the little guy.
Also check for any place where there may be collision repair. Sometimes the damage affected the wires in the area and the repair may have damaged the wire. Or, the repaired wire isn't wrapped or shrink-tubing wrapped and is corroded from moisture getting in.
Blower not working?= blower fuse or motor.
Climate control panel? = on the late eighties models (and maybe beyond) you will find solder joints on the wire harness connector in back have cracked loose (not visibly) from vibration, causing heater/cool air lever to short (or some other control to as well). All you need there is to re-melt the solder points carefully where the circuit board connectors go into the circuit board (don't heat them too much- just enough to melt the solder. The dealers would just replace the control panel at $400. a pop. Not necessary. Stereo Amplifiers will do that too! Cars vibrate. Deal with it.
Tail lights? In the eighties models, there were wire terminals attached to the light "pods" (where the bulbs were housed) with screws through the terminal ends INTO PLASTIC POSTS. Guess what happens when screws get hot from electrical current? They loosen with all the vibration and then the light doesn't have good contact and dims...setting off the tail-light failure sensor. SOLUTION= take out screw and apply loc-tite inside the plastic post so when the screw goes back in tight, it stays tight. Don't apply loc-tite to the screw itself, as it may get on the contacts and block the current.
If you touch the top alternator wire post (the one with the nut on it) and accidentally hit a ground with your wrench, it will blow the high amp fuse (80 amp on my two cars) and it is damn hard to find the long-eared fuse block at just any parts place. I found a Ford block, but the tabs had ridges and were too short to fit the battery terminal block connector. Went to Toyota in the end.
Another spot to check can be the master connector from the wiring harness in the engine bay to the connector coming from the passenger firewall (inside vehicle wire harness). I had it overheat from a bad blower motor (maybe someone put too big of fuses in the holder?) and it carboned up the connection on the inside being so loose. Now I have to tap the connector occasionally when the blower stops working. The only cure there is a new engine harness= $$$$$$$$$$.
Best advice? Buy the Toyota wiring manual (a companion to the big service manual) at your Toyota dealer. MUCH BETTER THAN HAYNES OR CHILTON! It will show you the wiring layout and what goes to where in the car w/color code. ALSO....go to a friendly salvage yard (where you can pick your own parts) and gather all the fuses and relays you can from similar year models! They won't usually care or charge you for those kind of electrical parts (as they can't guarantee them due to the outside weather). I haven't bought maybe one fuse EVER for my cars. If you have a bad relay, circuit breaker or fuse you can look at the numbers and match them and swap them to see what happens!
Also notice that Toyota fills connectors with dialectric grease...it blocks moisture from the contacts when the connectors are filled.
Good luck...clarify your question if you need more advice!

Can you put a celica engine in a 01 Toyota Corolla?
You can put an engine, from your Toyota Celica, into your Toyota Corolla. The wiring harness and the motor mounts will need to be changed.
Where is the fusebox for the rear lights on a Toyota Celica 1992?
If by chance by "rear lights" you mean backup lights and yours are not working, consider that the switch is faulty. That part goes into the transmission from the outside. The reason I'm telling you this is because our 5th gen Celica had backup light trouble and after all was said and done, we found out it was the switch. .
there is also a small fuse box with rear light fuses on the driver side under the dash. good luck.
Where is the turn signal flasher on Toyota Celica 1993?
Junction Box 1. Driver's side kick panel. At the very top of the block (probably square)
i had the same problem but it was my fuel pump. have you replaced the fuel filter also?
Why was the Toyota Celica discontinued?
Look at what is being pushed out of dealers today...Celica could not keep up. People were just no longer interested. Toyota moved on.
AnswerRead somewhere that stringent emission norms was a reason.
Don Esmond, senior vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division - Addition of more exciting and youthful products to the lineup, such as the Matrix and Corolla XRS, Solara sports coupe and the Scion xA, xB and tC was a reason as sales for the Celica reflected its declining fortunes, slumping almost 50 percent compared to last year. Year to date, the Celica had dropped more than 33 percent off its 2003 pace.
ANSWER:
Because they are fools.. at least that's my opinion since the Celica has always been an awesome car! Honetsly, though, it's because their other models closed in on the Celica from both sides and outsold it. I guess you can't blame them from a profit standpoint, but from a dedicated Celica driver.. I still do :-)
When will the Celica gt4 come in the USA?
It already did, in-fact it was back in 1987! Though it was dubbed the "Turbo All-Trac" Celica.
What oil goes in a 2000 Toyota Celica?
It should say on the oil filler cap... but.. psssst.. come 'ere... let me tell you a little secret. If you live somewhere where it never gets much below 35 degrees (F) and is a generally warm climate.. use straight 30 weight oil up to about 200k miles.. then straight 40 weight after that for high mileage cars. It's MUCH better for your engine and keeps your emissions lower for smog checks. Oh, and ONLY use straight weight oils that are rated "HD" on the label!
Where is the fuse for the radio located on a Toyota Celica GT?
Not sure what year you have, but on my 2000 GT, it is in the fuse panel located on the right hand side of the console behind a pull off door.

Porsche, Corvette, Viper, Lotus, McLaren and Ferrari build street legal racing cars, that you can drive on the street today. A Sports car was a car that could be raced in the Grand Prix on the weekends, and used to take the kids to school during the week. Generally a Sports car, has no back seat, light weight, and has the engine between the wheels for better weight distribution. It is a car designed for the racing track, and to be driven on the public roads. A true Sports car cannot be front wheel driven because it asks to much from the front wheels, and to little from the rears. Racing cars, and the street versions of racing cars, balance the forces in a corner on all four wheels.High performance Cars designed to haul people more than go fast are Sporty cars. BMW, Lexus, Cadillac and some Audi's among others are Sporty cars.
Why do the brakes in your 2002 Toyota Celica squeak while in reverse and only in reverse?
there are wear indicators on both inner front pads on this car. when the pads wear to a certain point (about 3/32") the indicator rubs on the rotor, causing a squeak. when youre driving, the torque from the axle distorts the position of the rotor in relationship to the sensor. it just so happens in this case that when youre in reverse, the rotor tends to bend toward the sensor. when in drive, it bends away.
