Been hearing rumours about a new Celica for 15 odd years. We’ve had nothing official from Toyota, other than Toyoda-san saying he’d love to bring back the badge. So I’d be super sceptical until there is a pre-production mule being tested. Would be awesome, though! I wouldn’t even mind a ground-up EV if it offers AWD with Tesla Model 3 Performance-Levels of fun. A retro-style 2.0l Turbo would be excellent too, but I’ve always felt that the tech in our Celicas has been forward-looking for their time. It would really suck if they stuck a Celica badge on an SUV though. Poor Capri and Mustang

I completely agree with you Amit. Toyota missed a trick with both the GT86 and Supra. Sometimes it’s not all about the money and joint ventures. If it’s worth doing and there’s a market out there then do it properly. There’s a reason why our cars, MR2s and past Supras are the success stories they are…they were born out of Japan with excellent engineering, simplicity and ultimate reliability, with added fuel consumption to boot! I’d love to see the Celica name return but only if it’s through evolution rather than electrification.

I would like to see the Celica name make a come back , but only if it is on something like the pic in the first post. I sincerely hope Toyota doesn't do what Ford have done with the Capri name , and stick it on a SUV/EV type of thing..

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.

Interesting,I havent looked into any details but as it'll sit 'under' the Supra level,will it be all Toyota which (i think) the Yaris is,or some BMW influence in there.Saying that it being under the Supra level,be interesting also to see power output compared to a Yaris as well,be a bit odd where it sits in a line up

Not sure if that is rendered, there are some leaked Images online but how accurate they are is anyone's guess But the return of the Celica and MR2 has been confirmed by Toyota and the specs, I'm rather excited a 4WD 2.l turbo after all is what I was trying to achieve with my gen 7

Been here before with the FT/GT86. But at least it looks related to the previous Celicas , unlike the new Capri to the old Capris.

I'm sure you guys have heard 25/26 the Celica is coming back with a 2.0l turbo AWD 20 years since the gen 7 https://www.instagram.com/p/C9oE7gWzyfw/?igsh=MTE3bXRvandkMDllcA==

..and me again,Beaulieu Simply Japanese 21/07.

I fitted new discs on the back of my Rover about 18 months ago. It was MoT'd fairly soon after and I got an advisory that one side was marginal on both the main brake and the parking brake. It seemed to drive ok to me and I did nothing to change it. At the next MoT everything was deemed good and the opinion was that it was just a case of not having bedded in at the first MoT.

Don’t worry mate, it just needs bedding in. I’ve seen this happen on my car too particularly when I had my Brembo rear brakes and discs done along with new OEM rear calipers so just keep driving like Miss Daisy for a little while longer and don’t do any handbrake turns…given that your whole rear system is brand new!

Hopefully mate. The whole lot is brand new. Mounting points, bolts ,pins etc.

I would still say it's just not bedded in yet. You might find the caliper is at a very slight angle, possibly rust or dirt on the mounting pointing points or bent sliders. It just needs the pads to wear enough over the area it's touching to bring the rest of the pad into contact.

No buddy, they were wiped with IPA post fitting so I'm not sure... other side is fine. Thought that so I did some hard braking yesterday hoping it would resolve.

Driving like an old grandma. Not yet bedded in.

Could that have had some corrosive liquid spilt on it? If it's got something corrosive on it then it needs a good wash with water, preferably with some detergent which is free of both wax and any chloride, then dried off with perhaps IPA?

Hi all, What would cause this. New discs and pads and refurbed calipers. Other side is working fine.

Not mine but a friend spotted a club member today and sent me this pic. Whose is it!?

Long awaited detail session this morning.New clutch and brakes all done,so she's ready again to make some noise after a bit of an extended lay up in my garage

I knew someone would come through,well done Kev

Better late than never ! Next pic challenge , should be easy , your Celica at a petrol station with the price board in the pic
