Things your Celica has that you did not know about!

[Klint]

Lets start a list on the features your celica offers that are often overlooked.

I'll go first..

Did you know your Celica has zippers in the seats, allowing you to store objects inside the seat?

[cool2miketlu]

I got plenty of mods on my car I forgot about...

[Klint]

not mods, stock stuff.

[many]

Wait, I have a Celica?

[blk_celi]

what!? thers a storage for weed in the seat!?

[v3bahumut]

Did you know your Celica has zippers in the seats, allowing you to store objects inside the seat?

Yep, but I had forgotten about it since I haven't rode in the back seat since I first test drove it 6 years ago.

Did you know that the ash tray lid is the absolute perfect size to hold a LG Voyager in place while using the navigation? (However it does not work with my new Droid :( )

[ateens4]

the door locks/windshield mechanism is in the center

[Klint]

there is a light bulb in the dash that illuminates when your lights are on.

[Kangaroo]

there are four round rubber things holding my car off the ground a little, but i cant for the life of me figure out what they are... :chuckles:

[v3bahumut]

Damn near impossible to lock your keys in the car, short of dropping them into an already locked car through the sunroof or cracked window.

[jlitman]

I remember that when I first got the car the auto on/off headlights was novel to me. Also, that the interior lights don't come on if the e-brake is pulled when you start the car.

I thought it was neat that the little panel that exposes the moonroof will automatically open slightly if you push the button to open it partway.

[Anger Red GT-S]

Cupholders in the back on both sides of the car for the rear passengers.I don't sit in the back unless I am cleaning the interior.I try not to take anymore than one person if I can help it.

[jlitman]

Cupholders in the back on both sides of the car
I use those for those little auto-air freshener cups :D

[GSBoek]

I thought the little tab on the passenger side to insert the seatbelt so it won't rattle around was neat. Of course owning another car that 25 years ago had an awful lot of these thoughtful details does change my perspective a bit.

[Anger Red GT-S]

I use those for those little auto-air freshener cups :D

LOL......never thought about that...I just use that car air freshener spray stuff.

[TRD01GT]

I didn't realize I had a premium sound system on a GT when I bought it, I thought it was only an option for a GT-S

[Geist]

i didn't realize i had a GT-S :chuckles:

just kidding btw...

actually i didn't know until i came here that 03-05 had so many differences than 00-02

[ATL-GT]

glove box interior air filter

[WakeRider]

didnt know that almost all the wires run underneath the center console to the back seat and air filter behind the glovebox...

and that zipper i believe is to remove the cloth from the seats for easy washing not for storing your weed =p

[Littleguy]

I remember on my GT without premium stereo you could hold down the mode button until you hear a beap and after that it will let you adjust the mid, not just high and low.

[Skooter]

actually i didn't know until i came here that 03-05 had so many differences than 00-02

Ditto.

I didn't know the trunk came with 2 grocery hooks to prevent your groceries from sliding all over the place. Didn't notice it until the 3rd or 4th time I loaded groceries in the back.

[aprcelica]

Damn near impossible to lock your keys in the car, short of dropping them into an already locked car through the sunroof or cracked window.

I have locked myself out SEVERAL times... :AF:

[Speck102]

Yep, but I had forgotten about it since I haven't rode in the back seat since I first test drove it 6 years ago.

Did you know that the ash tray lid is the absolute perfect size to hold a LG Voyager in place while using the navigation? (However it does not work with my new Droid :( )

Why would you test drive the car from the back seat? Weirdo.


Some of the things I have learned over the years:

-The door panels are different on the 2003 Celica, there are more pieces you can take apart without breaking it.

-Not all Celicas come with a rear windshield wiper.

-Gauge clusters are the same on M/T and A/T GT Celicas, but different on the M/T versus A/T GT-S.

-The stock GT stereo comes with an internal amp versus the GT-S which comes with the external amp. Makes installing an aftermarket stereo on the GT-S more of a PITA. (and yes, some GT Celicas do come with the GT-S Sound system)

-Even though everything looks pretty much exactly the same on the 2000 and 2003 GT Celica, the engine harness is different and not interchangeable without heavy modification.

-A GT-S muffler will bolt up to a GT.

-GT-S Celicas come with a weak transmission, absolute garbage.

-The 2003 Celicas have slightly better interior sound insulation.

[theguy216]

Totaled the car Sunday and was ripping out the interior. Didn't realize the kid who owned it before me had put in alpine type S speakers in the doors. I had a fully decked out Alpine car and never realized it :P.

[ibmike150]

Gauge clusters are the same on M/T and A/T GT Celicas, but different on the M/T versus A/T GT-S.

the m/t and a/t on a gt-s i believe are the same... i have a gt-s 6 speed and i can see the PNRD321 on the guage face in the right light

[yodaddyguido]

the m/t and a/t on a gt-s i believe are the same... i have a gt-s 6 speed and i can see the PNRD321 on the guage face in the right light

a/t has m-mode and markings in the 4-5oclock area of the speedo with 4 smoked dots for gear selection... i think. lol

[jdmravi]

the m/t and a/t on a gt-s i believe are the same... i have a gt-s 6 speed and i can see the PNRD321 on the guage face in the right light

maybe so, but on the auto GTS it has 1234 to show you what gear your in for the sports shift at all times

[RomanTaylor]

I just recently realized that my instrument cluster has PNRD32L or something like that. I was likt wtf? (trany or cluster swap done on this car?) Than I've read that all GT's have this.

I also didn't knew that Celicas come without lower grill from factory.

I still don't know if I have premium sound system, it sounds pretty good but nothing compare to my Subaru with premium sound.

Also there are a lot more stock headunits than I though when I've looked at Japanese and European models.

Blind spots.

CEL is the brightest interior bulb.

And more..

[x310gtsx]

i just realized after almost a year of owning the car that there is trays in the doors to stash stuff...for some reason they just blended in too well and i never noticed them.

[Dasher17]

what!? thers a storage for weed in the seat!?

I've HEARD the center console where the shifter is is easy to pop open for... certain....types.... of cargo.

[celica760]

haha ^^^ Its actually pretty easy, i find coins and what not that fall from my ashtray.
I didn't know(or forget) that the trunk has a light bulb in the passenger side near the tail light opening. never used it.

[hectorj]

Totaled the car Sunday and was ripping out the interior. Didn't realize the kid who owned it before me had put in alpine type S speakers in the doors. I had a fully decked out Alpine car and never realized it :P.


how was the sound on them? what size were they ?

[Proximity]

If you lock the doors using the center switch with a door open, they lock, but you can't unlock (using the center switch) them until you put the key in the ignition.


I've HEARD the center console where the shifter is is easy to pop open for... certain....types.... of cargo.

My plan. You can toss any"thing" down towards the rear of the center console too incase the cop is smart and glances in there.

[Proximity]

Also: the back sears are surprisingly comfy, save the little leg room.

[Gootz311]

I didnt know I had crank windows...wait, thats Mrluilou's car. lol

....for real tho, if you unlock your car with the factory remote, and dont open the door for like 30 seconds, itll lock itself...many cars do this, but I just found this out the other day about the celica.

[hapa77]

didnt know that it was SLow

[theguy216]

how was the sound on them? what size were they ?

Sounds was always pretty good. I never thought the car had enough base without a sub and this explains why. They are 6 1/2 SPS 170 A's. Wish they were components instead of 2 way's but I won't complain.

[v3bahumut]

Why would you test drive the car from the back seat? Weirdo.

Inability to drive stick before I bought the car, so I went for a "test ride" I suppose.

[SoxFanGTS]

Didn't know it had COP ignition until I got under the hood, auto-on headlights, functional hood scoop, cabin air filter (though mine was missing) and proper dead pedal come to mind

[Carmaster]

I didn't know it was fast. Oh, wait...

I didn't know Celicas have the ability to handle so well. I thought they would just understeer like any other FWD car with 60+% of the weight over the front wheels.

[blk_celi]

lol oh yaeh the the center console... hm i guess i know where to keep my weed now :) and it probablly wont reak as bad

[hectorj]

didnt know that it was SLow

haha same here but i bought mine because i always loved how they looked...

also didnt know what that red ball on the top dash was for until someone said it was a sensor for the headlights?

[Speck102]

I didnt know I had crank windows...wait, thats Mrluilou's car. lol

....for real tho, if you unlock your car with the factory remote, and dont open the door for like 30 seconds, itll lock itself...many cars do this, but I just found this out the other day about the celica.

On a lot of cars you can program it to stop doing that, I don't know if the Celica is one of them.

Inability to drive stick before I bought the car, so I went for a "test ride" I suppose.

So you glas you got the Celica after getting a chance to drive it?

haha same here but i bought mine because i always loved how they looked...

also didnt know what that red ball on the top dash was for until someone said it was a sensor for the headlights?

The GT-S is pretty quick. Not fast, but I wouldn't call it slow. And yes, that little sensor on the dash is for the auto headlights.

[Bitter]

Damn near impossible to lock your keys in the car, short of dropping them into an already locked car through the sunroof or cracked window.

start engine, close door, lock door with spare key. :fawk:

[v3bahumut]

start engine, close door, lock door with spare key.
.....um, doesn't count.


So you glas you got the Celica after getting a chance to drive it?
I've owned it for 6 years and sunk an irresponsible amount of money into it, so I'll let you guess the answer.

[2KGTrd]

Cupholders in the back on both sides of the car for the rear passengers.I don't sit in the back unless I am cleaning the interior.I try not to take anymore than one person if I can help it.

I've found half full beer bottles back there. Ha.
Didn't party the night before either.....

[2KGTrd]

didn't know the mirrors could fold inward.

didn't know the trunk wouldn't stay up on its own in winter.

didn't know about the grocery hooks, used them, then didn't expect it to be so difficult to get a plastic bag off them.

didn't know a single 12 would hit so damn hard in a lift back.

[TRD01GT]

didn't know about the grocery hooks, used them, then didn't expect it to be so difficult to get a plastic bag off them

lol those hooks are for the trunk net that you can buy as an accessory. not for hanging bags on them

[Salincer]

i thought the headlights were awesome
i love how you sit down so low and feet under dash
^^ that being said, i hate how my friend kicked my cold cathodes -.-

Ever had a locked car and windows down and too lazy to pull out keys and you go put your arm in there to press unlock button and the alarm goes off.

The nifty ash tray space + how easy it is to take dash apart (change stero)

[Ddragon]

there is a light bulb in the dash that illuminates when your lights are on.

I just noticed it two days ago lol...

I didnt know I had crank windows...wait, thats Mrluilou's car. lol

....for real tho, if you unlock your car with the factory remote, and dont open the door for like 30 seconds, itll lock itself...many cars do this, but I just found this out the other day about the celica.

I found this out over the summer time hahaaa. It had caught me off guard at first because I thought I hit the unlock again. I went to talk to my friend and I heard it go off and thought "wait, my keys are in my pocket" wtf??? lol

[TRlPPlN]

that zipper i believe is to remove the cloth from the seats for easy washing not for storing your weed =p

id have to disagree.

what!? thers a storage for weed in the seat!?

i agree.

[Klint]

Theres also a fuel door sign on the cluster.. i have no idea why.

[VVTI1.8]

That there is a knob to adjust the seats height, and the little plastic door on the floor of the passengers side to put tools in there or w.e.

[v3bahumut]

Theres also a fuel door sign on the cluster.. i have no idea why

It tells you which side of the car the fuel door is on.

[celicayounggun]

It tells you which side of the car the fuel door is on.

i believe its actually like that on most cars, i've always used it to show me which side its on for all cars i've driven(suburban, maxima, g35, others)

[Bitter]

That there is a knob to adjust the seats height, and the little plastic door on the floor of the passengers side to put tools in there or w.e.

wut? where?

[bman365]

If you unlock the passenger door with the key, it will unlock all doors.

If you unlock the drivers door twice, it will unlock all doors, just once will only unlock drivers door.

[2kGTSNUT]

You still have power windows/moonroof for a few seconds after taking the key out. Until you open the door.

I remember this was advertised in a commercial for another car a long time ago. I though it was pretty cool back then. Then I figured out I had it! Haha

23 seconds.

[Klint]

lol wow... kinda pointless since you should know already haha.. but i did check it out and yep theres an arrow lol .

[imp]

qua?

[hapa77]

On a lot of cars you can program it to stop doing that, I don't know if the Celica is one of them.
.

wonder if you use a piece of electrical tape? and cover it

[v3bahumut]

If you unlock the drivers door twice, it will unlock all doors, just once will only unlock drivers door.

You can actually reset the factory keyless entry to how you have it or one click to do all the doors, it takes a ridiculous series of things like key in key out key on key off door open unlock lock.....rather annoying.

[2KGTrd]

lol those hooks are for the trunk net that you can buy as an accessory. not for hanging bags on them

Well... they're good at multi-tasking

My buddy uses them to hold a pvc pipe in place for trunk support. HA! and it works great.

[2gracer]

-Not all Celicas come with a rear windshield wiper.

-A GT-S muffler will bolt up to a GT.



so 2 things, can I shave off my rear wiper so to speak? my family has owned a few 2nd generation integras (hence my screenname, its stayed the same on all my boards:wiggle:) and with those people would remove the wiper and motor and then there was a cap from the lower end model of a civic hatchback (which didnt have the wiper like its higher end brothers), I think from whatever gen the 93s were, that you could buy at the dealership or junkyards that would plug the whole perfectly so no water leaked in. is there something like that for the celicas or do the wiper-less ones just have a different hatch altogether?


Secondly, whats the benefit of having a gts muffler on my gt if any? my muffler has a bunch of rips and holes that I've had to weld shut, since I really love to see sparks fly when I drive, so I really lower it in the back sometimes :gap:

[bymotion]

That there is a knob to adjust the seats height, and the little plastic door on the floor of the passengers side to put tools in there or w.e.

^X2 yeah where?

[kyboi006]

My 01 GT had crank windows. :fawk:

[edg3h_91]

Every Celica Has Lift.. Even The GT... Before The race Turn your AC On, When your ready to unleash the gt fury turn it off and hold on to dear life as Lift Just kicked in yo!

[mad.mdx]

the hvac is 90% manual... holy crap was i disappointed when i saw that

The hatchback is different on those without the rear wiper, however there is no reason why you couldn't find something to plug the hole with, or weld the hole and repaint the lid.

As for the muffler, sometimes, especially so with aftermarket systems, people find a good deal on a GT/GT-S muffler, and they can use it on either a GT or GT-S.

[irochos101]

Driver window has auto UP and well as auto down :gap: Helps soo much cause I have the 6 speed :applaud:

[LIFTftw]

The fuse box in the passenger side panel is a perfect spot to store small things as well..

[CRBCelica]

The fuse box in the passenger side panel is a perfect spot to store small things as well..

:confused: like drugs? lol:gap:

[Salincer]

Driver window has auto UP and well as auto down :gap: Helps soo much cause I have the 6 speed :applaud:

Mine only has auto down.....

[Bitter]

Mine only has auto down.....

ditto

[Omnious]

Even though everything looks pretty much exactly the same on the 2000 and 2003 GT Celica, the engine harness is different and not interchangeable without heavy modification.
First time I've ever heard of this... Can you please explain what the differences are?

Driver window has auto UP and well as auto down Helps soo much cause I have the 6 speed
Really? Can you please provide us with the part number of your window module? (should be on the back of it)

[ateens4]

i didn't know the celica was slow

WTF lol are you referring to the mysterious glove box!

[LIFTftw]

nah he's referring to the fuse box i was talkin about on the passenger's side there is a little cover that is a different pattern then the rest, that pops off and you have a fuse box there

[OnPOINT]

did anyone notice that the passenger side has a little slot by the window to put the seatbelt in. i was suprised when i saw that.

[bymotion]

nah he's referring to the fuse box i was talkin about on the passenger's side there is a little cover that is a different pattern then the rest, that pops off and you have a fuse box there

but the fuse box isn't somewhere you can put tools in lol. and he said it was on the floor :confused:

[Speck102]

Not on any Celica I have ever driven (pretty much every year and trim).

First time I've ever heard of this... Can you please explain what the differences are?


They simply are not interchangeable without modifying the harness wire by wire. A lot of work and not worth it, an acquaintance of mine learned that the hard way.

[hectorj]

Not on any Celica I have ever driven (pretty much every year and trim).



mine only goes down automatically only, u gotta hold it a bit to go down automatically or else it wont go all the way down...

[Omnious]

They simply are not interchangeable without modifying the harness wire by wire. A lot of work and not worth it, an acquaintance of mine learned that the hard way.
So, if you have a 2000 GT AT and want to make a swap to a 2003+ GTS MT, it's better to use a 2000-02 GTS MT harness?

Quite a few swaps have been achieved and this is the first I hear of harness incompatibilities between 2000-02 and 2003+ models.

[StrikerFury]

The place where the rear window's wiper fluid comes out is hidden in the top brake light not sticking out like on like 240SX or RSXs. At first I didn't even know I had one until I tried it and was like "WTF where is that coming from?"


Also my Celica came with a Jacuzzi/Fish tank in the trunk.

[GSBoek]

Also my Celica came with a Jacuzzi/Fish tank in the trunk. I heard that was a rare dealer option through "Pimp my ride". :chuckles:

[irochos101]

Mine only has auto down.....

ditto

Try and give the switch just a quick flick up then let it go. It should go up automatically. At first I thought I only had auto down too :bang: I have a 00 gts just fyi

[Bitter]

Try and give the switch just a quick flick up then let it go. It should go up automatically. At first I thought I only had auto down too :bang: I have a 00 gts just fyi

i will try that!

[tigress]

Thing I found out the hard way was that if you have a stock alarm, you cannot open the hatchback with your key before you unlock the driver's door with the remote or the key. Otherwise the alarm will sound (I had just gotten a master key made for it since the used car dealer forgot to give me mine and I wanted to test being able to open the trunk cause I couldn't before with the key I was given).

I remember that when I first got the car the auto on/off headlights was novel to me. Also, that the interior lights don't come on if the e-brake is pulled when you start the car.


I love the auto on/off headlights. One of my more favorite features. Though I really wish the interior lights would come on before I pulled off the brake (it took me a few months I think to figure out why my internal lights seemed to take a while to turn on).

glove box interior air filter

Didn't know that.

I remember on my GT without premium stereo you could hold down the mode button until you hear a beap and after that it will let you adjust the mid, not just high and low.

Didn't know that either.


-Even though everything looks pretty much exactly the same on the 2000 and 2003 GT Celica, the engine harness is different and not interchangeable without heavy modification.


Did not know this either.

i just realized after almost a year of owning the car that there is trays in the doors to stash stuff...for some reason they just blended in too well and i never noticed them.

Bah, they're useless (every car I've ever had has had those, these are the first ones I've never found a use for honestly). I have yet to find anything that actually fits in them. I've never had such useless door pockets. Seriously, I've thought, oh, I'll put a little flashlight in there... doesn't fit (yes, a mini flashlight). Then later, well maybe I can fit an ice scraper in here (it's thinner than the flashlight). Doesn't fit. Try to put some paper in there, falls out. I cannot find anything they are actually useful for.


....for real tho, if you unlock your car with the factory remote, and dont open the door for like 30 seconds, itll lock itself...many cars do this, but I just found this out the other day about the celica.

No, that would be 45 seconds (there is a lot of these little things people mention I do know cause when I first got the car I was excited enough I read the manual ;) ).

lol those hooks are for the trunk net that you can buy as an accessory. not for hanging bags on them

Funny, the manual claims they are grocery bag hooks :P.

Theres also a fuel door sign on the cluster.. i have no idea why.

Neither do I. I like to make fun of it (I mean, unless you are renting the car, that sign should become pointless to the owner pretty quick).

i believe its actually like that on most cars, i've always used it to show me which side its on for all cars i've driven(suburban, maxima, g35, others)

The Celica is the only car I've had that points out where the gas cap is. Then again most of my cars were European (with the exception of a Nissan Pathfinder). Might have something to do with that (like try finding decent cupholders in a European car. The philosiphy on a lot of European cars is different).

Driver window has auto UP and well as auto down :gap: Helps soo much cause I have the 6 speed :applaud:

Uh, no it doesn't. The manual even just claims auto down. Or if it does, yours is special. I'll try your suggestion in your later post but I've many times wish it had auto up (I want that a lot more than I want auto down). Now the sunroof does have auto close which is really nice (as well as the windows and sunroof still able to close after you turn the car off for a set time, if you don't open a door first).

[VVTI1.8]

wut? where?

qua?

^X2 yeah where?

^x3 yeah where ?

WTF lol are you referring to the mysterious glove box!

its right under the glove box, its has a hole to insert the car key too just like the glove box. Its not that hidden u should be able to see it, thats if u have it. I might of been an extra option on the cars package...

[edg3h_91]

WTF!! 2mm ima go treasure hunting

[alfy]

i have a spare in my trunk:wiggle: anyone still have theirs??

[jons02gts]

you can completely dim the back lighting fot the instrument cluster, and have just the needles illuminated. (surveilance mode)

[c3ll]

^no you can't! ? how ... ?!

[vvtli_4_life]

Try and give the switch just a quick flick up then let it go. It should go up automatically. At first I thought I only had auto down too :bang: I have a 00 gts just fyi

Mine definitely doesn't do this. Either yours is special, or broken.

Jon, how'd you get it to do that??

The hooks in the trunk ARE in fact grocery bag hooks, it says so in the owner's manual.

And I still have my spare tire in the trunk. For now.

Also, in the trunk where the jack is (the little cubbies on the sides) are great places to store things (all you who are hiding weed ;))

[Bitter]

yea, i tried it as well and nothing special happened. maybe his switch is broken?

[v3bahumut]

can I shave off my rear wiper so to speak?

Take out your rear wiper and get the delete plug that keytechniqes sells.....if they are still around.

[irochos101]

Mine definitely doesn't do this. Either yours is special, or broken.
I guess its a feature of my alarm system then lol sorry guys :hide:

[jons02gts]

to the left of the steering wheel there is a knob with a pic of a light on it, turn that, and it should adjust the brightness. I keep mine at 3/4 brightness. i'll get some pics of it, and put em in my album of fully luminated, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, and off. I do however though have an after market gauge face. but should work all the same.

whats up fry!

[Bitter]

dude, every car has a dimmer like that.

[vvtli_4_life]

whats up fry!

Hey!

I adjust my dimmer, but it doesn't keep the needles on, the whole thing blacks out.

[mustangraptor03]

i have a spare in my trunk:wiggle: anyone still have theirs??

I still do, never been used either, still has the paint markings. I read the press release regarding the Celica that Toyota came out with and they call the 2ZZ-GE a BEAMS engine. Thought that was pretty cool.

[keebler197]

Mine definitely doesn't do this. Either yours is special, or broken.

So i remember reading a guide on here on how to make your windows go auto up as well. It was a long time ago Probally back in 2004-05. so if you really want to make your window go auto up, give it a search

dude, every car has a dimmer like that.

yeah, I know that, even my 74 gremlin had that. I was just stating the fact that by adjusting it, you could have it to where only the needles are iluminated. (atleast for mine since I have an aftermarket gauge face)

ah, got it. but thats because you have aftermarket. i think the spirit of this thread is for stock stuff.

Someone find that guide for auto up windows ! I searched but found nothing :s. Does the euro version have this or what?

[themuffinman]

Auto defrost mirrors.
fog lights turn off when high beams come on.
C60 transmission is a POS
the fuse for the dome, rear and clock lights are a multi fuse that has to be ordered from toyota for $10 a pop (no pun intended)

[ce1ica_00]

i hate those multi-fuses

my celi has heated side mirrors ... i found it today, after 2 years of owning it :D

fog lights turn off when high beams come on.
All cars with factory equipped fog lights turn them off when the high beams come on. Now what I've noticed that has changed is I used to be able to pull on the stalk to turn on the high beams and the fog lights would be on, but the Celica is one of the ones that does not do that.

[Klint]

That may be euro celica only thing?

[themuffinman]

Push the rear defrost button...

[Zimphire]

Did you know your Celica has zippers in the seats, allowing you to store objects inside the seat?
Before anyone gets any ideas, I am sure the Police know about this too ;)

[Bitter]

Push the rear defrost button...

that defrosts the rear glass on my car and nothing else that i know of...but then i always do scrape the frost off the mirrors. next time i won't and i'll see what happens.... but i doubt i have heated mirrors.

[mad.mdx]

i never tried that but next time i get frost ill try! is there a special logo somewhere that indicates this or no? for the mirror defrost.

btw anyone find the guide to auto windows up??

[ajh1717]

I think the heated windows is stock? I always wipe the snow off, but never the ice, and it always melts after the car is fully heated up. My 2001 blazer had that also.

[Exotic II]

I still do, never been used either, still has the paint markings. I read the press release regarding the Celica that Toyota came out with and they call the 2ZZ-GE a BEAMS engine. Thought that was pretty cool.

Beams engine was only available in the 3sge form. There are 3 versions:

Black Top.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/24/BEAMS_3S-GE_Black_Top.JPG/800px-BEAMS_3S-GE_Black_Top.JPG

Red Top.
http://6gc.net/images/member_photos/1400_14.jpg

Grey Top.
http://i.ebayimg.com/16/!B(ySCOw!Wk~$(KGrHgoH-DIEjlLlul7eBKeGfB!5uw~~_3.JPG

The Black Top was used in the JDM Altezza IS200 and RS200 rear wheel drive
vehicles.

The Red Top & Grey Top where used on the JDM MR2's and Celica's.

The fourth generation 3S-GE, also known as the BEAMS 3S-GE began production in 1997. The first version was equipped with VVT-i and produced 197 bhp (147 kW, 200 PS) @ 7000 rpm. It was available in a few models sold only in Japan - the MR2 G and G-Limited, the Celica ST202 SS-II and SS-III and the Caldina. BEAMS is an acronym which stands for Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System.

In 1998 a second version was released with dual VVT-i (variable timing on both the intake and exhaust cams), titanium valves, battery-backed injectors and a slightly higher compression ratio (11:1 instead of 10.5:1). This engine powered the Altezza RS200 and produced around 207 bhp (154 kW, 210 PS) @ 7600 rpm.

The two variants are easily identifiable by colour. The cam covers on the earlier model are red and on the later model, black. They are often referred to as the "Red Top" and the "Black Top" respectively.

The "Grey Top" BEAMS 3S-GE was an available engine option in the Rav4 and Caldina GT in Japan. Even though the valve cover on this engine is black, it is referred to as "Grey Top" due to the grey intake plenum to differentiate it from the Dual-VVTi "Black Top" in the Altezza. Power output is 177 bhp (132 kW, 180 PS) @ 6600 rpm.

These are common to all 3S-G engines except for the BEAMS 3S-GE, which has a narrower valve angle.

Capacity 1,998 cc (121.93 cu in)
Bore x Stroke 86 mm (3.39 in) x 86 mm (3.39 in)
Intake Valve Diameter 33.5 mm (1.32 in)
Exhaust Valve Diameter 29.0 mm (1.14 in)
Included Valve Angle 44.5

what year is your celica that does have heated mirrors?

[vindiCAtor]

I'm fairly certain heated mirrors were a EUDM and maybe JDM only option.

I created a thread several years back about the M/HTR relay and MIR HTR fuse in the interior fuse box next to the passenger's feet. You might find it useful. :shrugs:

on mine the sunroof auto closes after 5 seconds of shutting off the car unless you push the sunroof button and u can even close the sunroof after the car has been off for a while and when it rains, the sunroof and side windows will close =P

sarcasm aside, almost all modern cars have this feature where some electrical components remain on after the key has left the ignition. once a door opens, power cuts out all together...

[ibmike150]

yeah u can eve have the doors open and they still work

[fatalexception]

if you unlock your car with the factory remote, and dont open the door for like 30 seconds, itll lock itself...many cars do this, but I just found this out the other day about the celica

LOL, Found this out the hard way... Unlocked the car from my second story bedroom, walked downstairs, out the front door, and down the driveway to the curb. Put my hand on the handle to open the door and *clunk* I heard the damn thing lock. Quite upsetting...

didn't know the trunk wouldn't stay up on its own in winter

Found that the hard way too... first time in cold weather opening the trunk, damn thing cracked me right on top of the head. I now use a custom fabricated specially measured length of 1" diameter PVC pipe I found in my garage as a prop. Pretty ghetto-tastic, if you ask me. But, im not gonna shell out 70$ for a new set of hatch struts either.

the back seats have clips which hold the belts in place ;)

Beams engine was only available in the 3sge form.

Not exactly. Here is the link from Toyota that was sent out in September of 1999. Here is the portion I'm talking about:

For power, both engines in its lineup, including the high output 1.8-liter BEAMS 2ZZ with VVTL-i technology, feature all-aluminum cylinder blocks for reduced weight and increased fuel efficiency.

http://www.toyotacelicaonline.com/celica1/reference/2k%20celica%20press%20release.pdf

BEAMS is just a design designation for an engine and not specific for any engine. Also, more than likely it's for the VVT-i technology used since that's the first time the 3S-GE was called BEAMS. Just like T-VIS was found on 4A-GEs and 3S-GEs in the early years. Toyota even calls the 1ZZ-FE BEAMS as well.

[SoySauce]

how weird the exhaust was compared to other cars.

[Saber_Avalon]

Theres also a fuel door sign on the cluster.. i have no idea why.

That sign points to the side of the car with the fuel door. It isn't really useful if all you drive is the one car. I have a cavalier for my DD/winter car and the fuel door is on the opposite side from the celi. I often forget what side my fuel door is on going back and forth between the two vehicles so it's a good reminder at the gas pump, quick check and I know I'm pulling up to the right side. My cavi doesn't have that, so I'm screwed there but the Celi looks out for me :gap:

Auto defrost mirrors.
fog lights turn off when high beams come on.
C60 transmission is a POS
the fuse for the dome, rear and clock lights are a multi fuse that has to be ordered from toyota for $10 a pop (no pun intended)

grrr... I hate those fuses. I used my power mirrors, heard the thing blow and my clock died at the same time. Pull out that fuse and no one had any idea wtf it was.

I took it to the dealership and the guy said to me with a straight face "that didn't come out of one of our cars." I damn near killed the guy, how dare he say I didn't take it out my car, where the hell else would I get it from? My arse apparently.

After he realised I wasn't leaving until I got my part he had someone look at the car, said that my clock needed replacing and would cost me $500. Said nothing of the mirrors. I made a stink and he finally asked his parts guy. The parts guy takes one look at the fuse and says "oh you have a Celica." I say yeah, how'd you know? "These were only used in the Celica from 2003-2004 or 5 I think, not sure why."

Thankfully the idiot who told me it didn't come from their cars felt bad enough he didn't charge me for looking the car over or the fuse. They even put it in for me lol so I guess I can't be too mad at the guy, must have been new or never worked with a celi from that year bracket.


Edit: wow... I totally fail. I just revived an old dead post, forgot I had a search going. sorry

[keebler197]

Do you guys always have just a little bit of air flowing out of the two vents closest to the windows? I've noticed this, even when it set to floor. I've just assumed it always flows a little air to keep the windows from foging?

[Joeggernaut]

hand warmers, the left driver side vent can heat your hand pretty good while it is still on the steering wheel.

correct, helps keep the side windows fog free.

[NateXgts]

Did you know the mirrors if forced a little, (don't try this unless you have to) could bend both ways! I got sideswiped by some Jack*** and he basically took my mirror off, to my surprise after I stopped to look at the damage I just popped the mirror Back the right way and No broken glass or anything! That is pretty SICK in my book.

You just need one of the odd ECUs that hits lift @ 5800rpm. :D

And the defrosting side-view mirrors was definitely a non-North America thing. If there are any in the states, I assume it was a very limited run (mistake). The last discussion I heard on it (here), everyone was curious whether the wiring was at least run to the mirrors in North American cars so that the conversion would be easy.

to the left of the steering wheel there is a knob with a pic of a light on it, turn that, and it should adjust the brightness.

Here's one I haven't seen yet, (and I've just spent the better part of my luch reading this entire thread) ;)

The cubby hole above the radio doubles as a cooler/ heater. :AF:

This of course is an "undocumented feature". :gap:

To test:
On a warm day, place a small item in there, or is you have stuff in there already, thats fine~use it.

Drive around with the AC on. Stop your car at your destination and take an object out of the cubby hole. You will see how much cooler it is.

The opposite is true with the heat on. ;)

You can keep you're,,,"stuff" nice and fresh/ cool in there!


(This is all true, but I believe it has more to do with the cubbies position relative to the AC dusts and openings!)

Funny if you don't have such in Norway. At least most of the Celicas that were sold in Finland as new (not imported afterwards) has this option. Altough our seat heaters are not factory fitted as the installation was done at freeport during Pre-Delivery Inspection.

I just noticed that the motor was in front and not in the back.....am starting to look for the oil dip stick now.........can anyone tell me where it would be located in the trunk??????

What the fvck?

When I got my car it had a nasty evo4 kit. It got smashed, so I replaced it with a stocker. I was like, what the fvck are these wires to? Woohoo, stock fogs!

Does not. That would be a safety issue.

My E46 BMW has auto down and up all the way around... never got my head stuck in it.

the only reason it does not have auto UP is because it requires a more expensive assembly since it needs to have the "object in the way" sensor. Celica's in america were really cheap cars if i remember right. Cheaper than the new tC? So they reeally reeeeaaaallllyyyy cut down on luxury.

No No No.

Celica's were pretty pricey. GT's at ~21k and GT-S all the way up to 31k off the lot with your normal options.
