Would be interesting to get peoples advice upon how to go about selling on my 2004 Celica 140 Red Edition (Red leather interior) There is no urgency in the decision but due to reasons of no longer wanting to commit to the upkeep of a 20+ year old car, it would be nice to pass it on to someone keen. Also, for what i use it for; going to Tesco once a week, and one other 25 mile round trip a week, a Yaris would work fine and be more economical in all running costs. It passed the MOT last November, but with advisories about rust that will need attention most probably before the next MOT. My MOT guy is a straight shooter, he's been MOT checking out my Celica over the past decade and he really likes it and considered a bit of welding underside is well worth doing. (i got no idea how much this work would cost tho'). It drives really well with no issues, excellent F1 Eagle tyres, custom SS exhaust, a few years ago suspension & brake overhaul, plus new rad, A/C condenser, alpine speaker upgrade, low milage at genuine 76k miles with engine that doesn't burn any oil. Plus i'm only the second owner, first one 10 years me 11. Everything works, upper bodywork is far from perfection but looks respectable for year, the only one big issue is rust as mentioned on the MOT advisory. Is it really better to get the welding done before putting on the market? Or sell for less and let the keen new owner take up the challenge? Or perhaps simply trade the car in when buying a Yaris? (i know the answer to this - probably not...) Anyway, thoughts would be nice to hear thanks in advance. Plus an honest evaluation figure would be helpful cos i have absolutely no clue as to what i should be asking for (?) ...not street wise me 🤔

Well done both of you for making the trip of a lifetime. Sounds like a fantastic experience!

Incredible! I was there from 7th October to the 22nd. We even rented the exact same Supra 😄

It seems I missed you by only a few weeks, did close to the same itinerary the first 3 weeks of October 25. Cannot agree with N-Seven enough though, Japan is truly life changing

Monkey Boy 1 - your new challenge please??

Been having a little play with AI

Epic,the old skool cars look awesome especially the Gen3/4 rally specials. ST165 still showing battle scars on the rear corner

For anyone considering visiting Japan - do it! I got back from a trip around Japan in October and it was by far the best trip I have ever taken. I was there for just over two weeks and visited Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka. While I was in Tokyo I went to Daikoku for the weekend car meet, I've never seen so many insanely modified cars in one place. I won't bore you with loads of photos but here are two Celica's that were there. The Gen 6 couldn't be more stock ironically and was the only unmodified car there. Then on the way back, got involved in some friendly street racing Then went on to Hakone and rented a MK4 Supra, then went driving around the mountains by Mt. Fuji. Later in the trip, made a special effort to go out to Nagoya to visit the Toyota Museum. It was massively out of the way but so worth it. Here's a few Celica-Related pictures. Again though if you are thinking about going to Japan, I can't recommend it enough

Good enough to raise a titter, so come up with a new challenge

Sadly after it was stolen for the umteenth time it had not been replaced, so cannot get a photo of the car next to it

I collect pictures od funnt road signs but most are me rather than the car. The famous Ham Sandwich one and my old lpg gen 6 came up on facebook memories the other day. Someone elses turn though.

Anyone feel like this needs a jump start? So your Celica next to a funny road sign. @Monkey Boy 1 has a very funny roadsign near to his home.

Yes, just heatproof paint. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/387061932066

Hi all I need to repaint my heat shield does anyone know the correct paint code to use or is it just silver heatproof paint ?

Mines going to be at the NEC in March my ST162 cabriolet 👍

Hmm, I'm using meyle hd ones. And they seem very beefy compared to the stock ones I had on the rear. Will get a set for the fronts too. Original Toyota ones are very good quality I think they may be made by senki555
