[snwman86]

Just said i'd through up a few pics and specs of my car bit detailed but had it on another froum so just copied it hope ya like.. also pics wher takin with a camera phone:o:

2000 Toyota Celica Trd M Sport spec as follows

interior
trd dials rev goes to 10,000rpm and its in the center and the speedo goes to 240kmh and is on the left normally its the other way about on standard celicas..., gets a short gear lever thanks to the trd short shift, special cloth covered seats which can be got in red (not nice) or blue which is most common, a sports steering wheel matching the coloured trim.. all electric, air con the works none of it was takin out even though its a focused track car compared to the standard celica..
body/shell
ok here is where the fun begins its a stronger chasis compared to the 190 celica or even the t sports uk spec celica.. seemed welded roof pillars and along the suspension points to make it more rigid, but due to this it added weight so they counteracted this by taking out some of the sound proofing.
suspension
full trd m sport suspension, shocks, springs, rollbars the lot very good setup if ya dont want coilovers
exterior
trd m sport bodykit, which cannot be gotten again this is unique to the trd celicas and cost alot if ya sell it on but i would change it, where the toyota emblem does be on the front bumper its replaced with a carbon trd m sport badge, wheels are toyota standard ones sprayed in black or dark grey ya can get different ones but very rare to get them if ya do keep them..
engine/exhaust
forged high compression pistons set, remapped ecu , re-profiled camshafts, lighter valves and a trd exhaust(back axle only not full system), k&n filter in standard air unit with a cold air feed goin into it..
transmisson
6 speed close ratio gearbox with the most importand thing a trd helical lsd cost around 650 to 700 euro worth every penny, also has the trd short shifter, also trd light weight flywheel and a trd clutch cover and a standard celica clutch disc not trd or anythin just the clutch cover that is trd..

furter mods in a few months is a free flowing custom s/s exhaust and a cai then maybe a tune with a apexi neo

[dead_star04]

lookin' good,hows it handle? also, did you bronze your stock rims? they look good

[ikhaffaji]

The APEX'i neo doesn't work for 7th gens. You might want to look into an APEX'i Power FC instead because that's been proven to work on our platform.

[Soo__Fuego]

rare breed ..................... i like it

[Lex_2k]

M sport with no M sport headlights? Thats a bit strange, any idea where they went?

Also if you want a tune you would be better with an apexi power fc, but with few mods there haven't been great gains with it... With an M sport you would probably get some better gains, but I would have thought TRD would have tuned that engine to within an inch of its life... Worth looking into before you spend the money on it.

F*cking nice car though, glad theres atleast one within 1000 miles of me lol

[snwman86]

they are the stock headlights lads that came on the m sports no differenet than the rest of the 7th gen celicasmost of them that are in ireland are same as mine few differnet but aftermarket ones..

and handle is great only better option is coilovers ans the apexi does work on the celicas but its under a siffernt unit same as the camcon enterprise unit is a basic tunning device but i know ill get a power fc agian towards end of year can get them for 500 but im not goin to tune a power fc just for a exhaust and cai be a waste of money

[evil eye]

The Sport M headlamps were only an option, not standard equipment.

What happened to your Sport M badges that sit in front of the rear wheel wells? There should also be on on the right of the trunk lid as well.

Car is amazing though. It's the only 7th gen Celica that's a true collectible.

[snwman86]

there was a load of options with the car.. like every car ya can debage them from factory mine didn come with the stickers on the side but have the badge on the back alright..

dont like the lights rather the oem ones on it only thing i mad i didn get was the rare alloys they are lovely.. but ya can get the interior teim in red also but is tacky with blue.. ya can get the car in white and black as well not sure of any other colours

[c3ll]

and what about this sweet ass spoiler ... i want one of those ...

[snwman86]

i actually know wher one is for sale but pricey go to www.fensport.co.uk and look in the parts section, find the zzt231 celica model and then browse through the sub menus.. im nearly sure i seen one for sale there.. but other than that there impossible to get

[evil eye]

Oh ok, didn't know those badges were optional on the side. Are you talking about the TRD T3's? I've seen them on a few Sport M's before, i figured they were an option as well. I've had them myself at one point in time, they were awesome.


http://www.newcelica.org/photopost/data/500/Trialcomplete10.jpg

[snwman86]

yeah they wher also an option but an expensive one i think would love a set of them but they way the roads around here are id only ruin them so im happy with the standard ones

[Celicasaur]

With an M sport you would probably get some better gains, but I would have thought TRD would have tuned that engine to within an inch of its life...

The M has a bone stock 2zz-ge just like the rest of our cars.

Internet rumours of the 'TRD Extractor' (lol, why don't people just call it a manifold or a header!?) and all the other toys are pretty much just internet rumours.

I've seen a block from a sport m (I knew a car breaker in Birmingham a while back). The piston shape and dimensions looked indentical to stock and I sure as hell didn't see the rare TRD header either as it was the same rusted old one that you see on any other gt-s. I've also owned a TRD manifold so I know what they look like (it's got much bigger runners).

However I'm pretty sure that all of those toys could well have been dealer options. So some sport m's might have had been purchased with bits like the exhaust, flywheel etc etc....and then some probably just had the nice body and other garnish.

[snwman86]

ur prob right man like whos to say whats on it or not i know for a fact there is no trd header on it, however i have seen trd pistons in a trd m sport like.. i know mine defo has the trd exhaust on it and i might just get a compression test done to see what its at just out of interest..

but sure its like everythin else some celicas are faster than others stock ive raced a few and i always seem to pull away in 3rd slightly then pull stronger in 4th so i dont know

[snwman86]

sure ur from england almost forgot.. fensport reckon that they are 210bhp standard i was dumb founded on the phone when they said that.. they wher sure they seen one dynod at that and i quized them about it and the engine and they wher sure it has all the parts it has... funny might be a project for me around christman rip the block apart and see 1st person

[Celicasaur]

but sure its like everythin else some celicas are faster than others stock ive raced a few and i always seem to pull away in 3rd slightly then pull stronger in 4th so i dont know

Yeah I know what you mean mate. Mind you, it could be the smaller wheels factor, as not many celica's that I see, have 16" wheels.

sure ur from england almost forgot.. fensport reckon that they are 210bhp standard i was dumb founded on the phone when they said that.. they wher sure they seen one dynod at that and i quized them about it and the engine and they wher sure it has all the parts it has... funny might be a project for me around christman rip the block apart and see 1st person

Put it this way...going by the rationale that 210bhp is ~180whp. On a stock ecu, would these all yeild ~180whp: higher compression pistons, TRD header, higher flow air filter, and an axel back exhaust that flows a teeny bit better than stock........................ ? It still keeps the oem cat and even if it had the TRD flywheel, that wouldn't affect the power anyway.

Fensport suck. But that's just my view on them from the poor service I've always had from them in the past.

Oh and lastly, a lot of bhp dyno numbers are largely irrelevant, because the number is derived from an estimated transmission loss. The resulting number can vary, based on how much the dyno operator guesses is the right % loss.

On a more positive note, your car looks lovely and I'm glad you've kept it all original :thumbup:

[snwman86]

ha ur in the same frame as me fensports just got slacker and slacker for me to ne honest so i have a contact now that can get parts from me in ireland so i doubt ill be using them agian..

yeah like if ya had a stock celica brand new and put htem parts on it should see clear over the 200bhp maker but on jap fuel like.. alot of ppl when they ask me about performance parts for celicas.. they keep comin to me with this air filter gives ya 10bhp i just laugh..

i actually did a test on my car with the stock air box setup and the car ran 190bhp on 95 ron fuel and a k&N filter, now the dyno technician claimed that a k&n short ram typhoon induction kit gives 10bhp and i just said to him right ill put that part on my car and if it makes over 5bhp ill buy it.. so he said grand so put it on ran the car and it made a bit 3bhp and two of us laughed and just carried on.. just shows ya if ya believe everythin that the products tell ya yall be disaponited..

but cheers man ill keep it stock no matter what i do to it has a nice kit and doesn get to much attention from the police so do me

[snwman86]

i know my car has the Full TRD suspension, TRD front sway bar, TRD helical LSD, TRD exhaust, TRD short shifter, TRD racing clutch plate and cover, TRD light weight fly wheel.. i checked that all out myself and seen the trd logo on them so there is something on it

but like if trd put there name on the car there would want to be somethin trd on the car

and as ya wher sayin on the 16" wheels all the mates celicas has the same size except 1 so they wher all good races like but i dont brag about anythin cause no point they wher just for fun to see how the cars run

wats the story not many sports m in ireland
ur missin the stickers do on quater panels
wer u from

[snwman86]

im form monaghan lad and stickers wher an option just like most of the other stuff on the car so, but id rather them witout it looks nicer imo

[bp_me]

Out of curiosity,

do you see any difference if you run e5 rather than 95 through it?

[snwman86]

nope lad not at all i run topaz fuel the whole time seems to be good with it made 195bhp there the weekend on the dyno with just a trd exhaust, flywheel and a cai i ahve a thread up about it with the dyno graph and all.. ya would want to get a power fc and map it for e5 to have any benifits from it at all

[bp_me]

It really depends how flexible the toyota ECU is and what they are meant to run on in Japan (mine is a JDM import as I believe are all TRD-M sports). I personally haven't noticed any differences between the various fuels.

(for anyone outside of Ireland reading, e5 is a 5% ethanol blend with a RON of 99.2. Normal "pump gas" here has a RON of 95).

It's plenty fast enough for me as it is. Especially as Mondello is the only place I'm comfortable really letting it's hair down.

[snwman86]

maxol is 97.4 octoane proven and most jap cars are set for 101octane except for scobbys which they are on 104octane i think but.. toyota ecus dont adapt very well to **** fuel unlike hondas which learn to stabilize the crap fuel..

like at the most ya might get 1 or 2 hp out of e5 but of ya can notice that fair play only thing ya will notice the car will pull stronger and response will fell better.. but im gettin a new exhaust in a few weeks then getrin it rollin roaded again and then get another pfc and map it was going to get power enterprise camcon but the ecu is ment to reject it after a while so might as well go balls out again for the pfc.. should see me over 200bhp be the first 2zzgen/a celica round my way to hit that with few mods i have

[twiztedkyle]

so sunco 94 octane is crap fuel?, thats the best i can get in my area.

[SilverCelly37]

that's one damn good looking celica

[snwman86]

so sunco 94 octane is crap fuel?, thats the best i can get in my area.

depends what the US celicas ecu have been set for i doubt they would be 101oct like jap celicas

[twiztedkyle]

dosent it matter that it says "made in japan" lol

[bp_me]

so sunco 94 octane is crap fuel?, thats the best i can get in my area.

I might be wrong, but my understanding was the MON value is more commonly used in the US. The figures I quoted are RON numbers. They aren't the same thing at all....

I also have very serious doubts about JDM celicas being mapped to run on 101 RON fuel. It is a myth that all JDM cars are meant to run on only the very best.

If there really was an issue there should be a very noticeable difference by running a fuel with a much higher resistance to knock, and there just isn't.

wats d story lad
wats d story wit d pfc does it replace d ecu or do u just wire it in like apexi rsm.
tinkin about gettin 1 wanted to know how much extra hp id get
