  1. Happy 8 Anniversary gen7nnb!

  2. Oh crap, that's not good Martin. Never seen one go there before. Hope you can get it sorted mate.
  3. Jason, just contact ams, he will send you a good used replacement for around £50 ish. Just put a standard box back on mine so I have the SS one sat in the garage.
  4. Bought my 7 as a 140 on 53K 9 years ago this year. Since then, nearly 100K, lots of changes including swapping out the oil burning 1zz for a superb, strong 2zz. Many more years together me thinks.
  5. Happy 7 Anniversary gen7nnb!

  6. We have one at work, not sure how good it is but I'm in north Bristol.
  7. Evolva 123 is what I have too. it is a bit of a fiddle to get right but it does go.
  8. I don't know if my OBD Bluetooth one will do that. Shame I didn't keep the 1zz ecu from my old engine to test it out. I thought about it but wasn't sure what I would use it for.
  9. Happy days Joe, well done for letting us know. That's probably not a difference many would notice without the right equipment. Glad the closest station to me is a Tesco now.
  10. Maf should be ok. It was mine, which came from ams last year or year before and was no problem before.
  11. My take on this is, if someone like Joe has the means to actually see the difference, I'll go with that. I don't get a chance to put V Power in often as possible there isn't one that close. However, we have a Tesco near us so use Momentum 99. (Even cheaper with fuelsave point.) This last week I had a gas training course to attend just outside of Birmingham, a trip of just over 200 miles from me. The car had no bars left on the gauge so living dangerously. Haha. I put in £40, drove to Birmingham and back then drove to and from work on Friday and Saturday and still have 2 bars left on the gauge. I'll never get exact MPG results from that, really not scientific enough, but I was chuffed with that. Higher octane fuel will always be better, whether you can see the results or not. You'll likely notice the difference more when you change your spark plugs. As someone said, this topic has been done to death but you'll always have your own preference.
  12. Well, I'm not too worried. Got all the detailing stiff when I get back to work on Friday so I don't mind. Also, I didn't really spend long on it Friday anyway. I think it's the whole country at the moment anyway.
  13. So I'm not going near the centre. Marstons green I think the area is called.
  14. Washed mine Friday. Been in the garage since so she is still shiny. Long drive to Birmingham tomorrow for a training course so I'm sure it won't last long.
  15. Oh is it? Sorry, I was in the middle of doing little ones bedtime so didn't get a chance to view the video.
  16. If you've seen the episode of wheeler dealers with the jag xk8, he uses it and the results seem pretty convincing there too.
  17. Not much of a secret to be fair but she will be lower at japfest yes.
  18. Very easy to clock. Just need a set of dials with a lower mileage on them and swap them over. Simple. Best thing is to look at the rest of the car to get a better idea of its life. Agree that it would seem you did the right thing with that one. Sadly, there are dishonest people out there and the Celica is not immune to this. As others have said, there good cars and feel solid when they're right. Mine is on 122k and still feels great to drive. Interior build is not as good as the 6 as they made things lighter for power to weight ratio. Keep looking and don't be disheartened.
  19. Is your alarm internal sensor in there. That's where it should be. Should say TVSS on it.
  20. UK T Sport came in: Chilli red lagoon blue storm blue thunder grey Sahara Sun yellow. I think that's it.
  21. Ah, fair enough. That's rubbish. Johnyboy1976 has one in lagoon blue not long ago. Don't know if he still has it.
  22. But if it is wrap on the scoop, why not just peel it off?
  23. I normally fill the filter with oil before screwing that in too. MMeansit takes less time to get to where it's needed.
  24. Happy Anniversary gen7nnb!
