Hello Red, thanks for the message. I have seen her today at cars in the park lichfield. But didn't get all her details and yes she had all with her. I had a coversation with her son too. It a shame I didn't take my vert today it would have been good to show them together. She lives quite close to me, so am looking forward to meeting her and family again. Jay. Ps she told me she had met you. Lol. Jay.

Georgina is a very enthusiastic owner. Often drags along a car full with her. Her car looks stunning when in bright sunshine.

Thank you sweetheart, it it the lady i am looking for. She lives not far from me and there are so few celicas around here it's great find someone close. I have sent a message so fingers crossed I will get a reply. Jay.

Flick's name is Georgina, so that will be her!

Thanks, I beleive that's her car. Will send her a message. Jay.

I could only find one name beginning with "flick". @Flick16308

Hi Guys and Gals, Attended the above on 5th July. Met another Celica owner who was like minded. Unfortunatley I didn't get her forum name but believe it begins with flick, Her given name is Georgina, she had 98 Coupe, recently spray a sparkly purple that looks quite black in a dull light. If anyone can identify her for me that would be great. I know she is attending Max Power in Stafford this next weekend. She is also a member of the group {onsomesteez}. Many thanks if anyone can shed any light, she is local to me and it would be nice to meet up.

Finally looking pretty...

This hot weather has had the wax drip out the door drain holes and make a mess all around. Not sure how often it's supposed to be done but since I got a lot of tins left can probably redo it again next year

Cooling down under the cherry trees at Prescott Hill Climb.

Hi not sure if you will see this as its a few years later, but did youi get it repaired. I have a rusrty rear wheel arach that needs replacing. and looking for a good body shop to cut out the old and replace with a wheel arch cut from anopther celica. Tony

I used this chap for my gen6 ECU repair, £75 - took around a week from posting it out to getting it back https://www.johnmears.co.uk/ecu.htm

Cheers bob 👍🏻

Well done Phil 👏🏻👏🏻

So far did the NEC and I blame Bryan So far spats fitted and painted and a fix on Tom's lip before the show and words ouch and being into G6 dealer options I found a second A pillar light, and find time to do more shows and drive when I find time Just missed out on doing the Alps run in France which the club is asked to join every year. Finding time to drive is hard and I have a couple of outstanding ones plus Ireland, maybe 2026 as life paperwork getting in the way my tail end 2025 is get a TRD front brace again and custom manifold and oh MOT Sept

After 19 years and 141k I need to change the FOS bearing. Might as well do the other side while im there..

This is now done so on wards to tidying up other bits and bobs

Thanks kev. The interest in jap stuff seems to be becoming more popular these days. No pics mate. It was what I call powder blue? In colour. Must admit mk1&3 were prettier

If lambda is spot on then high CO is likely to be cat itself or an exhaust blow on the engine side of the cars lambda sensor. It can also be imbalence between cylinders caused by injector issues or air leak in one of the intake runners but that's less likely. With unknown history and if there's no obvious exhaust blow I would start with cat.

Could be that. Don't know yet. It has a Powerflow cat-back exhaust on so it may have been done at the same time

AHH, hollowed out cat that could explain it. Old school mod for more powaaa

As the car is new to me and the boy we're not going to do a great deal to it over the summer. Get the paint as good as we can, wrap the spoiler and scoop. He's 12 and brought up on GTA and Forza etc so he wants to fit under-glow - not my thing but it's his car! And then just enjoy the car. Take it to a few shows and drives at the weekends and stuff. Then over winter we'll take the bonnet off and respray it, put some form of anti-corrosion treatment on the underside, the rear discs and pads may well need doing but then etc

Ah I see. However I think then he is implying that it doesn't need a cat and they're swapping one worth a bit to sell for scrap for a cheap non-OEM one which doesn't really need to be done. They've given it plenty of runs in the machine and it's not passing and they've now ruled out everything else they can think of. There is a possibility when the exhaust was done the cat was knocked out too so it might just be the casing that's still there. The kid I bought it off said it still had the cat but who knows. Anyway, ultimately it's not the most expensive job and the car isn't rotting and needing sub-frames or sussie arms etc and I factored some bills into the purchase price so I'm still happy. I'll have what is otherwise a nice T Sport on the road for less than £3k, which looking around the second hand market, is fair. And looking at the MOT history of most of them, particularly the cheaper ones, they all have corrosion advisories and other stuff that will need doing so pretty much any will need some work at some point soon
