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

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/work-has-started-next-celica-says-toyota hopefully it’s a proper built in Japan Toyota

I have no issue with an EV, to be honest Id be more likely to buy it if it was electric as long as it was toyota engineered Id rather the bagde never come back, than it be used as a marketing gimmick like the capri and mustang

Id be interested if its a toyota and not something rebadged. The supra for me is something that could have been so much better, if theyd not been so insistent on using a straight 6 - they could have used the Lexus LC. I dont buy them just because they have a Toyota badge, its the way that toyota engineers them, I dont mind BMW but there is a lot of extra stuff on them that means that after 100,000 miles a lot of stuff starts failing which you just dont get on toyota or lexus.

They are in with thread lock, if you heat them up first they will come out with a good spanner without rounding Most new struts come with the ball anyway

Someone did post recently but dont think they put the details up, ill have a search

With e5 and e10, id try leaving as little as possible in the tank if its parked up for a while. Ive had loads of cars that have been parked for ages and the fuels come out clean and they have started after 3 or more years of being parked, with the ethanol content, it does turn to sludge a lot more, Other thing I find on cars that have been parked a while is that its worth taking the plugs out and giving them a clean and also take off the distributor cap and take off the build up inside on the tips

ive had good quotes on classic policy with low miles with footman james

g1 - liftback (but do like the coupe almost as much) g2 coupe g3 liftback (by a mile) g4 liftback g5 liftback, closely followed by convertible g6 convertible, closely followed by liftback, like the coupe but only in curren form.,

where is the car - maybe see if a local member can take a look before you pay for a proper inspection?

lovely looking car, before i bought my first gen7, I nearly bought a kaminari kitted car but wanted to build mine from scratch, nearly painted mine a similar colour as well

only issue ive seen on the gen7 ecus is the immobiliser part and keys no longer matching , not looked at root cause

wish id kept that 2nd set for my gen4 now, just didnt have the space

3 spokes if its a 205 much prefer the latter 15" wheels for the gen4 or the 165 wheels gen7 5 spoke wheels on a gen5 or gen6 ma61 wheels on a g1,g2

parents sat outside schools / training grounds idling whilst they wait for there kids is one of my pet hates

should be a sticker under the bonnet?

A lot of sellers are middlemen. So they will create 1000s of listings of items that they dont personally have in stock but there suppliers have, when an item sells they then ship directly from manufacturer/supplier. This is why you might find the same item for sale by 10 - 20 different sellers but when you buy it, they are all out of stock - this happens with UK sellers as well. A member on here had it with ta22 shocks a few years ago. ebay doesnt give out email address's anymore to sellers, you get a forwarding email address instead.

seals on the gen7 are generally ok, main thing is putting a film of oil on them before putting the pipes back in - usually use the old compressor oil that comes out

Might also be to do with average emissions across there range, they need the smaller cars to balance out the bigger ones to meet targets. There are some bolt on supercharger conversions available.

i prefer the look of the old one

Dont do it, its something we used to do a lot on older cars but even then we would very carefully wrap things like distributor and then use compressed air to dry everywhere. Have seen cars with endless problems because water has got into electrical plugs. Get any on the plug leads on that fe engine and you will be getting misfires randomly for months. Screwfix do a 5l degreaser - use that neat with a paint brush - you will get more off with that then you will with steam cleaning

I have some 255 calipers and carriers quite cheap that you could rebuild if you need

This guy is in Serbia and has quite a lot of old Celicas - not the cheapest.

Is it not just painted? Do you have a pic of the other side? ignore that - just spoke to rich and he reminded it what it looks like .
