  1. Think the best protection would be tyres with built in rim protection and stay away from the kerbs!
  2. Looking at the price and picture of the ECP one it's for a 140 so wont fit a 190, similar make for the 190 is expensive with genuine Toyota ones seriously expensive.
  3. Must be from ECP they always seem to send the biggest box full of packing for the smallest items!
  4. My Son hit a Pigeon in his C2 a few years ago completely smashed the front grill and radiator, expensive road kill.
  5. Your right always feel lucky to live in "Gods Country" (arguments start), prefer Whitby to Saltburn for F&Cs but either will do depends on how much free time there is, can usually make a trip to Whitby last about 3 hours if I take the convoluted route via back roads to Northallerton, Thirsk, Helmsley, Pickering, Ruswarp then into Whitby with a stop in Helmsley for a coffee and chat and Fish and chips in Whitby or if it's early morning then hot chocolate and bacon sandwich on the pier, best way I have found to unwind and put a 100 plus miles on the car or bike.
  6. Never had a problem just going for a drive have done since I first started driving, aimlessly driving about usually around North Yorkshire countryside either in the car on more often in the Summer on my Motorbike.
  7. I think putting vinyl on a rough surface will still show through the vinyl, best option would be to remove it sand it back flat and repaint it or if you want to fit vinyl flat it back with emery paper until smooth although if your not repainting it make sure there is some paint left on or it will rust, if its a metal sunroof. You could always keep an eye on the breakers for a decent replacement sunroof in the same colour.
  8. Not sure if the Celica has one but might be worth checking the crankcase breather pipe my last cars was blocked and the waste couldn't get to the charcoal canister in the emissions system so made the car smell of old hot oil.
  9. Happy Birthday david924s!

  10. As has probably already been mentioned this isn't really a fair or direct comparison, one car designed late 90s the other mid 2000s, one rear wheel drive the other front wheel drive. I am not a total Celica fanatic indeed only got mine really as a stop-gap as I couldn't find something I really wanted or fit my requirements, having said that I am happy with my choice. I thought about a GT86 before getting my car and love the looks and the way it drives (having had RWD cars for the last 15 years) but it was never really in my list to buy simply because I wanted something cheap to buy in the £4-8K range and the GT86 was over £23K and still is with second hand ones going for £15K+ so never really an option. If you want to compare the Celica to something then shouldn't it be a car of similar style and type from roughly the same era costing about the same, it's one thing to note the changes and advances time has brought about (or not) in car design but a little unrealistic to try and directly compare the two, no doubt if Toyota had kept on making the Celica it would have moved on although I doubt it would have gone rear wheel drive but who knows.
  11. I think it is just a way of limiting access to his facebook group, you could always phone but I think response is pretty good from a PM in facebook.
  12. Try Darren Harding on Locking Vinyl I'm sure a few people have had wheel centers and steering wheel badges done by him, think I even saw a TS one which looked lovely and not expensive. Link to his facebook page think you need to ask for an invite to the group but takes no time https://www.facebook.com/groups/LockingVynil/
  13. Good News! Mine was the same drove it in and an hour later picked it up with a new MOT, much to the annoyance of my Son who had his car done the following day to find he needed new rear discs, handbrake cable, Lambda sensor and front number plate. Think its the difference between regular maintenance and care and just driving it with neither of the other two.
  14. Apologies my mistake should have remembered from when I did mine last year I must have got mixed up with my previous cars which all had the discs held by two countersunk bolts and the hubs had threaded holes to fix them to, even my Son's S2000 had them and the Celica must have been the first I changed that didn't have any retaining bolts. Could have sworn my TSport had them when I did them last year but cant really check easily as I have spacers bolted to the hubs. So sorry for the confusion.
  15. The two small ones are for holding the disc to the hub the larger threaded hole near the wheel stud is what you use to remove the disc if stuck usually a 10mm threaded hole, the countersunk bolts go in the two small holes and into two threaded holes in the hub
