Had an afternoon working on The Avon. Still got tyres/wheels/underneath to do.

BEAUTIFUL DAY certainly not up here in Scotland,raining all day.only day at home this week and it rains,so my celica will have to remain on ramps a bit longer, on a good note I can get on with something I promised a mate 6 months ago LOL MK2 Escort A1 picture

Today after work I gave my baby a major hoover and clean inside and then a wash and polish. Always puts a smile on my face afterwards as I stare out the window at her in the car park. Still looks the best car there in my eyes lol

Ummm..yeah,sorry about that.No speed limits,small children or animals were harmed in the making of this film. Definitely a clutch-dipping situation in built up areas for me.Just as well it only comes out of its lair infrequently.

Another attack on our enjoyment of motoring. This country is such a joke. Democracy...yea right. Just makes me wanna leave. I don't feel an ounce of patriotism to my birthplace

Had a great drive out yesterday evening, one of the best I've had in a long time.

Waxed

The simple answer will be drop the clutch, switch off the engine and coast past - with no brakes or steering!!

haha, not me! my car is a very dirty girl at the moment

My new graphic from mook, so chuffed with it. It wasn’t easy to put on and not 100% perfect but it’s on lol

Tried out turtle Wax sealant wax usually use meguiars and sonax

THATS COOL LOOKING.gold badge to finish it off

Morning all, As the title suggests. I will be selling the gen 7. I own 2 other cars and the costs of up-keeping all 3 of them was always budgeted for. However a recent pay increase has put me in a position where I might be able to get my 4 bedroom detached house by the time my current mortgage fixed period ends if I'm sensible; so after much thought, I'm going for it. The problem is not with the Celicas maintenance, it's the cost for me to get it 'perfect' in my eyes. That and the set backs caused with generally modifying and changing a car with the lack of space isn't helping. I'll upload a picture later of the bathroom. Filled with seats and panels; I don't know how I have got away with it! Just setback after setback, buying new air compressors and parts developing faults... I'm throwing all of the other cars in and upgrading the Mrs current car; and have been offered £900 for mine. I would rather it stay in the club; but ultimately the price above is with me stripping the TRD wing off it and the side skirts. It's a shame I can't take the subframe and rear camber arms off and swap them for someone . If someone wants it for £900 It's theirs. Otherwise I'll take the parts I can shift and sell onwards. I did P.M Gez to see if he wanted to straight swap the alloys with his for £100 on first refusal (4 new tyres with about 7.5mm tread on them!) But if others are interested let me know. Rather than making money I just want the car to help someone else's car be what I couldn't make mine: their perfection. With enough interest I could put an add up with full specification. To the lads who joined in the monthly meets I would still like to come along of you could +1 me. Maybe I could pay for the breakfasts (not Andy or Jeff though... I've seen your portions!)

At least it doesn't look like any lasting damage, looks like a nice example of a Gen 7. I've scraped, dented and scratched my 140 a few times over the years but polished most of the damage out and it's a good old daily driver . It's annoying to accidentally park over a kerb or something like you did and it catches on the bumper or splitter

popping and banging pisses me off. i was slowing down for traffic lights and heard pops and bangs and thought it was my car broken down since i could feel the vibrations of the pops and bangs. turns out to be a audi a3 next to me. complete chav.

Perhaps the Government (whoever that will be at some stage) would be better taking the TV License rulings back from the thieves at the BBC and not force my 84 year old mum to pay £150 a year from next year,to watch her telly just because she doesnt quite qualify for Pension Credit.And shes still hardly a pot to p*** in.There's always somewhere more worthwhile to spend money.Certainly not with a bloated Stone Age out of date,celebrity-overpaying bunch of Nazis like the BBC. Anyway.Carry on.

this is just to stop chavs using bee stinger exhausts or drilled out back boxes. a good thing actually if it clamps down motorcycles which i find to be the noisiest on the road.

Your so right. Alas, long gone are the days when you would cram a V8 into your pride and joy

Aw sweet I live in march as well would be nice to see other club members in the area Would any of u guys be up for a meet and chat a I live in march as well would be nice to meet some local members

What! Come on man, can't cost that much to keep the Celica. What your gonna save 1k, keep here man. Your part of the family now. All I'm gonna say is YOU will regret it and YOU will be back, they always come back

What a beautiful day guys What are you all guys up to. Spence is tweaking the skirts and hopefully will be fitted later today

Thank you mate coming from the man who owns the nicest gen 6 in existence!

Gold teeth ready to go! Will be finishing off the seats hopefully later on...

I only ever use this type and they're really good and quick to use too. The ones I've got are Draper. https://www.toptul.com/en/2-2179-57907/product/Cup-Type-Oil-Filter-Wrench-For-4-Cylinder-TOYOTA-Engines-id545672.html

I’ve used mine for the last 6/7 years everyday and still rave about them to anybody who’s joined our workshop and doesn’t have a set.

Sounds like some really dodgy film you'd find on the deep web!

After a great weekend in Snowdonia last week then went off to a festival for this weekend, had a great time and car behaved well after passing mot that morning before another long trip

First pic of her with new shoes

Chelt. I hope the wait was worth it!

Shoe shine, boss!

From Sat When I got my car back from the bodyshop

Hehehe ... They usually charge for it... well Kev does anyway

no. In my super special case the sticker colour matches my paint colour creating a zero point energy field that actually reduces drag by two hundred percent at anything above 5mph but, only for me
