>Have only 116K miles on original engine and transmission.
Questions to high mileage Celicas: How many have original fuel pumps? If not, what was the mileage when replaced! How about timeing belt - when did you replace it? Thanks..Celicalibre
I haven't replaced my fuel pumps. For the timing belt, I did it 2x since I drive a lot, every 90K miles.

NICS -- did you ever have to clean out the front catalytic converter closest to the engine? I had to gut out a previous Celica as it became clogged at 160K miles.
Have you had to do any other major repairs with your high mileage? Curious as I intend to keep my pristine convertible forever more!
Thx...Celicalbre
No, nothing of that sort. Never touched the cats. Only heard that issue happening is on the 1zzfe mr2 spyders. The only thing that I had a bad experience is that the valve cover gasket went bad, oil got into the spark plugs and had a misfire. After fixing that, everything was good.
Main things that I did was change oil every 3k, castrol gtx high mileage. Seafoam every 6 months and change the coolant every 2 years. Warm up the engine on very cold days at least for 5 minutes. I hope this helps
