Topic #51601 24 posts Started by easternpiro1
whats up guys (and gals)...im back, and if you havent heard, i bought another celica (a 94 st coupe) I have had it since may and it has been okay, although it has been giving me problems since the day i bought it

ready to drive it off when i bought it, wouldnt start (alarm shut off kicked in for some reason)

makes funny squeaky wagon wheel noise when its cold out

battery broke the distributor cap shifting around

now makes some clicking noice when i make turns (gears? CV?)

and the biggest one... i just got rear ended on sunday and they totaled the car for some reason
WTF!??!???? mad.gif LOL

rear1

rear2


Now i know that the absorber is bent under the bumper but all the attatchments that bolt to the car under there seem to be in place, so another bumper should be able to just slide over it.

the insurance people are telling me they will give me what the car is worth minus the salvage fee so i dont expect to get a whole lot. but hey, its all good! could have been worse! wink.gif 2 celis

no it was mine all along. its the other persons insurance company that is saying they will give me the money for it. but if you look at the pics, it dosent look that bad. but the spare tire well is dented from the back but thats not a big deal...

~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
wat hit u,something with a V as a front?a train perhaps?

BANNED. for life, you moron.
well what happened was i was at a light in a turning lane. i looked up and there was the green arrow, next thing i know WHAM!!!!! a lady in a 2001 avalon hit me. she admitted to the police that she was not paying attention and to my insurance company. now im just wainting for her insurance company to look at my car. hopefully i dont get raped too much.

does anybody know the value of a coupe? i was told the kelley blue book is not what insurance companies go by.

u plan on puttin the 3s into the black one?

Now SR powered
this definately has to be some kind of odd sign.... cuz the 2 celica's u have both get wrecked.... coicidence? or assassins!?!

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

The frame missing on the Ninja Turtle is sitting painted on my car! Also i got rear ended too. (Hence the reason i bought that piece) I noticed it looked like i slid backwards into a tree and it seems the same with you. I wonder if thats what celicas look like when rear ended?
hey good to see you back in a celica, but i hope it works out alright for you.

And I answered your question about the invader rear Here
-Bryan
i have the rear bumper support if you need it. i assume its the same for the hatch and coupe

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
I have an entire car if you'd like it biggrin.gif
wh? youre selling your car?! lol and i dont think they are the same bro. i was looking under the ninja turtle and the coupe but i would have to inspect it more.

good news though, the insurance adjuster didnt total it out, said it would be around 1200 which they also said wasnt at 50% (75% is what NC requires totaled) so hopefully i can see what else needs to be done and there will be extra money to fix it biggrin.gif

Possible drunk driver triple hit and run. Both cars going opposite directions on south blvd right next to the double yellow. He turns a left right in front of me ....and behind the cop that was in front of me. Took the RF out BAD, probably moved the strut tower. Then he continued down the road hitting 2 more parked cars and stopped about an 1/8 mile from my car and got out on foot and ran. The driver wasn't even the owner, some 22 year old punk of no name relation, owner had insurance and my lawyer is taking up from there. The car was perfect when it happened and now I can't find another 6gc GT.
