Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Correct me if im wrong on Redline?

hey guys i used to have a 2000 gts an i new that had a pretty good reline of being like 8350 or so, i did some searching in the old posts, and i was wondering if anyone knew what the 2004 was, i just got a new 04 like 2 weeks ago, so i wanna make sure im not gonna have to do stupid adjusments an stuff, thanks guys sorry if this is a repost.

it should be the same as ur old one. the different redline is the 02. congrats. 04 has better shifting gates, so enjoy it!

woo hoo, this car has totally just made me the happiest guy in the world, i was so unhappy with my old one, but this site inspired me to complain to toyota corporate like 50 times till they did something about it

congrats man...here around the ATL and such i've been to about 4-5 dealerships (there aren't thhhhat many here) and most if not all of them no longer get the GTS model...cuase nobody liked it...haha, must be girls or moms or somethin...

hey hey thanx bro lovin it

celica is love hate

99 has shit tranny, sweet ecu
01 has better tranny (late model) bad ecu
02 has rev limiter
03-04 has drive by wire

wut was wrong with ur 00?
wut is drive by wire? electronic throttle?

omg bro sooooo many probs, maf sensor was bad when i bought it, then the clutch never engaged properly, then the tranny would never shift right, on top of that i lost a quart of oil(not on the ground) each week. then the motor made this horrible ticking sound sooo they wouldnt fix it at the dealership...i called corporate numerous times an then they decided to help us out. so here i am

next time you goto the dealership for an oil change, have a can of coke with u. No, dont give it to the guy, if they tell you "we cant do it, its too low". take the can and roll it below the car, if it rolls, then tell em to shut the fuck up and change it. if not, then run out of the dealer

Wait, so Toyota practically gave you a brand new car or did you trade it in? Was yer 2K Celica still under warranty when sh!t hit the fan? Cuz my chugs up oil like crazy too, but then again it being used I dunno what to say.

i had bought the car with the wonderful gay ass 160 point shit ass inspection, an then i bought the gold waranty, so i kept bringing it back in, no one would help so finally i ended up getting a new one, but not for free, they gave me exact value of my old car an refunded my warranty as a down paymant on the car. worked out ok, not much of a paymant difference

Oh ok. Just a lil confused. Maybe I should do that. Trade-in my Celica for a 2K3/2K4 Celica with a TRD kit and have the same payment plan. Not sure if I can do it since I just bought the car in Oct used.

Looks like the best option is to get an 02 and do an ecu swap...get the best of both worlds that way

sweeet man

i would assume the '02 is rev limited where it is for a reason...the tranny probably can't handle the abuse of 8k rpms.

if you are talkinga about model years, you mean '00, right? my car was made in '99 but its an '00.

the tranny sucks becasue the shifting is bad (tight shift gates), but the tranny itself is pretty good.

the 03's are pretty nice...
but i can't really compare because i haven't driven anything before that.

yes. drive by wire replaces the throttle cable with an electronic opener.

it was lowered in a feable attempt to lessen misshift damage. it is the same tranny as teh 01

the 99-early01 tranny sucks.

The shifter is notchy, gets stiff, breaks, and is altogether poor.

The new one, while "wider" is actually easier to drive fast. I find myself driving faster with the wider gates than before.

The old gates suck, and they are not "race" like, they are just crap.;

i like the new gates myself. i just hate my freaking reve limiter
