  1. if you don't wrap properly then heat is expelled at extreme rates in area's that are not wrapped and can cause fire, also you left one branch naked that branch will have a lower operating temperature so the exhaust gasses will have a lower flow velocity. wrapping can be dangerous and should only really be done with extreme care.

  2. 205 for 6J

    215 for 7J

    225 for 8J

    otherwise you start running a slight stretch look or leave the rim exposed to curbing/pot holing, you can use an oversized tyre on a slimmer wheel no problem to a certain extent.

    a 7J wheel with a 225 tyre will look the same as an 8J with a 225 tyre, you'd have to have them side by side or break out the ruler to tell the difference.

    a 7J wheel should have a lower different unsprung weight to an 8J, ergo less weight means more speed.

  3. IMO the 7 is not a 'proper' Celica, its the US vision of one. Nice car but not an authentic "celica" as the prev 6 gens were. Its not really a Jap car.. lol :lol:

    Gen 1 looked like a Yank muscle car

    Gen 2 looked like an Opel Manta

    Gen 3 looked like an Audi of sorts

    Gen 4-6 looked Japanese of that time, now they no longer build cars that look that individual

    Gen 7 looked different altogether although designed by a Yank, it's styling was meant to draw in the Integra crowd

  4. all saftey issues are worth posting up mate

    Recall: No. 3 of 3

    Recall Ref: R/1994/030

    Exact Model:

    Description: ugly front end

    VIN:

    Build Date:1994- 1998

    Numbers:

    Defect: the addition of 4 head lights onto their new celica , making it look like some sort of pond dweller

    Action: buy a gen 5

    So gen6's have 6 headlights (2 + 4 = 6) now? Think you'll find we have the correct number of front lights for a true Celica and not not some dodgy 80's fashion item pop ups

  5. after being away from the celica for a few years i really have found new love with my new celica, sure she has a few little niggles, but for the price i paid im well chuffed. who else is loving their celica?

    it's been less then a year, you were modding the Black SS-II till at least May last year http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.p...howtopic=101417

    just waiting for the "for sale" thread and the "i'm buying an oil wasting Datsun" thread, you're like one of those fella's that constantly shags his ex-girlfriend, yeah she's pretty and all that but been there done that, you know someone's going to get the wrong idea try to get back into a relationship and it will all end with heartbreak exactly the same way as before. same with those frigging Datsuns.

  6. bit of a deceptive name those bulbs as they aren't xenon gas they are LED's, since when has xenon emitted only blue light? my genuine xenon bulbs emit normal yellow/white light.

    i wouldn't worry about MOT you should fail anyway since you've fitted HID's of any type so where ever you take it they're probably dodgy as sin if they pass it, this could be a blessing or a curse as it, makes you think what else aren't they checking properly?!?!?!

  7. they are made by who? your running the risk of buying shite there bud as you know feck all abut them, they may just be cheap ass plugs with iridium written on them, better sticking to proper makes that you trust are genuine

  8. i have no idea bud, i don't have a clue as to how much workmanship or materials are needed to make things out of carbon fibre then there is your profit on top of that, it was more of an enquiry and i thought maybe more people on the site would be interested, i would never expect a full scale production just cos i wanted one mate.
