My coupe does the same thing
I beleave mines due to a poorly balanced axle shaft since it started shortly after replacing my pass side axle
I've had my wheels balanced multiple times an everything inspected by a friend when my alignment was done an everything else checked out fine
Mine also comes an goes around 50+ an tends to be more frequent on rough roads

If you are thinking about attending this meet quit thinking and do it. I traveled from washington state in 07 for this meet.
I can say honestly I was a little aprehensive about traveling 3000 miles to meet people I had only talked to on the internet
and a few times on the phone. I can say it was one of the best experiences of my life, the people are the best and the meet
was a blast. If I had the time or money I would be there in a heartbeat. smile.gif
JDM guy made me do it.

A/c is fixed. Vincent_Doggy cooling plate has been delivered. New radio will be installed before the meet. Hopefully the local Toyota dealership was able to come up with one of my new ball joints today. Should have everything ready to go just in time.

I've lost count of how many times I've had to have the system vacuumed and recharged in the last couple of years. Had to replace a couple of O rings this time though.

Make sure your rims are hub centric. If they are not, you need to buy hub centric rings for them.
Then have the wheels balanced again.

Not every shop is good at balancing wheels. I have had mine done, and then went to a different shop to recheck them. The new shop told the that the guys at the other shop didn't know what they were doing. They re-balanced them, and I have had zero problems since.

If all of these things check out and you are still having issues, then you probably have a bent rim.

I only have centering rings on the front wheels as I can't seem to find anymore. I ordered 4 back when I got the enkeis, but I forgot to take them off the wheels when I traded them. I centered the rears with my lug nuts though. Would it still cause vibration like that coming from the rear?

Also, anyone going to the meet interested in a set of Eibach (red) springs on Koni Special D adjustable struts? I've got a used set (less than 30k miles on them at this point) that are still good. The rubber dust covers or baffles need to be replaced on a couple though.

I just want to thank my Celica for leading me to
such a great 6gc.net family.
always having a member that can help out
with any problem or just helping someone at my best of knowledge

So im extremely excited for this special gathering
to actually have the chance to meet with the owners
of these awesome cars.

OAN: Yesterday on my way home from work i caught
a flat tire. And with that being said, i just wanted to
remind everyone to make sure they have a spare
in there trunk, u never know what can happen,
specially those with longer distance commute !

My wheels are not hub centric, but the previous owner put them with plastic rings? Have you or anyone else heard bad things about plastic rings? Should I get aluminum ones?

You can't center with your lugs man, wtf. Go on ebay and buy some.

Does the wobble come from the rear or it's clearly felt through the steering wheel?

Just a heads up, if anyone is coming in Friday night or early Saturday morning there is plenty of room and parking at my house.
Saturday morn we're planning on getting to the park around noonish, might be fun to cruise in together.

After the meet we'll probably head over to Manny's for an extreme time, like always biggrin.gif !
Sunday I'm thinking if anyone is still out here the wife and I are gonna BBQ up some dogs, burgs, chicken, ect at the house.

Wicked excited about this weekend !

It's pretty clearly in the front wheel. I know the throw out bearing is on its way out, but it wouldn't cause a wobble like this. Plastic ones are fine. Metal is a waste of money. It's just used for centering. No weight is put on it.

Also, I've got a set of TRD side skirts that I'm never going to use. Didn't like how they looked when I mounted them up with the euro front splitters. They need some repair, as there are a few holes/cracks... But they're a perfect fitting clone. Is anyone interested in these as well? If you're good with fiberglass, they'd be an easy repair. I'm just too lazy to fix then if I won't be using them.

My number is 618-926-4447. I'm not sure when we'll be passing through but we're coming in on I-95. We're leaving Friday morning at 5 and going to drive until we are at least within a few hours so we can easily drive to the meet Saturday morning. Dustin, I'm going to try to make it close enough to your house that I can swing by your place to borrow a water hose to clean my car.
