Time to leave 6GC - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #72732 14 posts Started by Junior
Just filled my tank and a few hours later, my driveway is covered with gas. Gas tanks are dealer items only. Looking at over $1100 in parts plust another 300+ for labour. Looks like I'll be parting out my baby and leaving the celica world. frown.gif
your parting your car out, why not find another person doing the same and take there parts? WAY cheaper than $1100

6th gen celica's do not exist in Canada. Never came across one for parts or in the scrap yard. I don't have the time and energy to look for a used gas tank. And if I get a used one and that leaks, i might just go postal.
This is the perfect opportunity for you... why don't you have a custom gas tank welded together for you??? you could put all the fancy race bits (petrol cooler, fuel pump, surge tank, alcohol-proof lines, etc)

some compagny can rebuilt them
i had mine rebuilt for about 300 (with labor) with a life time warranty

they're relatively cheap and you can typically fit all your stock components in them... perfect opportunity for some custom work and to lighten the car.

Oregon is a bit of a drive for me, but I'd love to make the trip out one day. Thanks for the offer.
