I wrecked my celica in 2010, and this is what i had:





I got it home and i tried starting it and realized that the main harness was cut, the fuse box was destroyed, the relay box as well.

I did a whole how to on taking out that passenger side airbag.... gotta remove the whole dashpad.. AT LEAST most of the way off, easier if all the way off though. No way around it.

I've already replaced the air bags , only thing that concerns me is will they deploy after I start thr car.

The airbags won't go back off. You need to replace both sensors on either side of the radiator as well as the control module underneath the armrest. The airbags won't go back off no matter what. You have to go to the diagnostic port and jumper some pins to reactivate the airbag system. So no worries. Build away.

looks like you may need new tires as well but the pic of your tire tread doesnt really show it very well.

i put different rims in the end, brand new tires on there. but it looks good even with the front missing, brings back memories! i love toyotas, i have a honda prelude and even tho is like 2x faster, i prefer my celica any day of the week

#21

well im selling my honda i hate it, suspension sucks, gas mileage sucks, the engine is shoved in there no room for anything, and then theres the toyota, ahhh breathing room, can actually see what im doing with the celica

got the motor mount on the car, and drove it around the block, smells like its burning bad, but i think it might be all the fluids that were over the engine, and maybe it could be the transmission fluid, and then the radiator fans dont kick on, gotta check that out tomorrow
