For Sale 1998 Celica 2.0GT with slippy clutch. £350. Swap or PX?

[sporty-shite]

Right. I bought this Celica a couple of weeks ago, and the clutch has started to slip. Clutches are available on ECP for around £50, but I really don't have the time or motivation to do it. It drives well, and the clutch only slips when you give it a bootfull, so it could be nursed around for a while. It also needs a rear shocker, and it's got damage on O/S reat corner and N/S front corner. All electric stuff works. It's MOT'd to June and it has a daft back box and cone air filter, as well as 17" alloys with good tyres, that are actually quite tasteful.

 

Would like to recoup £350 from my initial outlay, or may consider breaking.

 

Shit pics from a rainy car park on my way home from placement. More pics will be available for anyone vaguely interested.

Where about are you?

He's in Bolton, very easy to access.

I would say that I'd have some bits off it if you decide to break it, but to be honest my one (currently in the hands of M.Imp of this parish) doesn't really need anything.

I don't blame you for not wanting to do the clutch, changing the clutch on any car (apart from 80's 90's Vauxhalls) is a massive ball ache.

Haynes should change the difficulty spanner index to either an icon of a bone snapping or someone kicking you in the balls.

We did one in a 306 (same era) and it wasn't too bad at all.

[Station]

The last one I did was that Rover 213, Mark on here helped me. We started at 7pm, and he had to go at about 2am in the morning because he fell ill and to be fair, 5 hours replacing a clutch is too much. I got it all back together again at 4am, and then had to take it all apart when the clutch wouldn't engage. And then I remember Mark then took a couple of days off because he was ill after it. It was a horrible experience and best left to someone with a ramp or ATS/Kwik Fit.

If it were just the clutch and a couple of other bits wanting attention then it'd be worth doing (albeit the clutch would be a ball-ache as station says) but add in the body damage to the equation and I'd say you might be better off breaking it when the clutch gets too bad to drive.

If it gets near scrap money, I'll have it. I LOVE spending loads of part and ramp money on low value shite.

The Celica looks good in silver, on those multispokes!

 

(Halfers on another silver dream machine would be bridge money. )

MOAR PICS. Slightly  less shit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

May swap / PX / deal or whatever for something else that I don't have to spend a load of time on.

Clutch is pretty straightforward on the ST202 Celica, worth doing imho.....

[Cavcraft]

Did I just spot Frontera?

Did I just spot Frontera?

Yes, but not mine. Parking the Celica on a neighbour's drive whilst they're on holiday.

[sporty-shite]

Last bump. I've had a few enquiries on Celica Club for parts, so may be breaking this soon. Really don't want to, as I don't really have time or motivation.

 

Any last swaps / part exes or anything? Something sporty is preferable, but try me!

[Cavcraft]

Unbelievably I have nothing 'mechanical' to offer in part exchange or swap, save a pretend Yamaha scooter, which is actually a ChenShing Fiddlesticks Winkywankywoo Sports Direct 50.

So I'm oot.

Do you not fancy it,BOLLZ? Clutches on Toyota are the new K series head gasket!
