I was under the impression that if you run aircon with the windows open it knackers it????...
I can't imagine any problems caused by running ac with the windows open, other than (theoretical) increased fuel consumption.
-
For maximum drying use the ac plus warm air, with the heater set to fresh air not recirc. Slightly opening a window or sunroof will increase the airflow, which will also help.

I know the group buy was popular but how good is this product ??
Have a read of this thread:

Where would be a good place to get front brake pads for my 1999 Gen 6 Vert? Local place has quoted me £80, which seems excessive.
I got front and rear Mintex pads for £50 from here:

205/45-17 or 215/45-17 would be ideal.
Tyre size calculator here if you want to compare the height of different tyres.

I post this in the interests of balance.
I have tried a can of this stuff in my '98 GT (110k miles).
Figures: The product cost £18.50. Increase in mpg was zero. Time to recoup cost - infinity and beyond...
Subjective: I have not noticed any changes. The car was running fine before, and it still is.
Conclusions: Don't believe the hype.
There seems to be an assumption that any engine over 10 years old must be full of crap and running like a dog. If your's is then it is probably worth running a cleaner like this through to maybe get an improvement, but the -GE engines are pretty clean fuel burners and not particularly prone to fouling up so if your engine is running sweet I wouldn't waste your money.

How can there be differences of opinion on this matter?
It tells you in the handbook exactly how to do it.

Hi
I need a new trolley jack and axel stands, bought one from argos a while back, but after i had used it a couple of times i was in argos buying shelves etc and saw on the wall a recall notice for the set as the axel stands were prone to failure O_O (yes they could have given way at anytime with the wheel off and me under it with only my body stopping the car hitting the ground and damaging my fragile fibreglass bumper.. im sure i would have been fine though
)anyways, it doesnt need to be able to lift a tank of anything, but i dont want to die either, something liek this do the job:
unless someone can reccomend a better one, or if any member in the Kent area has a spare one they want rid of...
holla back
I'd avoid that eBay set. It's made by Am-Tech, the brand responsible for most of the top quality tools found in pound shops and on market stalls.
Here's a decent one at a bargain price:

And these cheapo 4 wheel laser jobs, are they the same as this set up...
Tbh the set up at FCM looks pretty diy compared to Micheldever. But I know about FCM's reputation and I'm sure they do a top job.
-
I had mine done at Micheldever Tyres last year for £29.
-
Ta daaaa!!!!
Ta da indeed sir, nicely done.

Your Celica next to a sign that says 'welcome to...' on it.
-
And how far did you have to travel to get that pic?
It's not my garage, it's 6 doors down.

We did have 'how to' sub sections in each generation's forum, but when the Wiki software was added they were all merged into that.
The reason you can't find the guides you want, or the detail in them that you want, is because no one has written them.
We need to encourage people to write some content before fretting over how to organise it.

Well GreyRacer used a real car but cheated with the Hello Kitty, and Angus used real Hello Kitty but cheated with the car.
I'll give it to GreyRacer cos he's older
-
I was out in my two GT4s, and came across this ginormous T-shirt ...
Angus
Should have known you'd have a Hello Kitty T shirt
-
OK, it can't have escaped your attention that Hello Kitty is gradually taking over the world. All the major retail chains are carrying branded stuff now, Halfords, Argos, Boots, WHSmiths etc.
So the next challenge is your Celica with something Hello Kitty in/on/under it.

How about Fannys Lane in Bucklebury?
-
Oooooo, do I win?!
PS the two cars in the background are in the carpark for the library, not the pay and display that I'm in (hence the white sign)
Looks good to me. And nicely parked, right in the middle
-
OK, adding to this thread does feel like poking a corpse with a stick, but whatever.
Next challenge is your car in an empty car park (no other vehicles).
-
I can do cheaper than that ...
28.7 a litre. That's my 185 at the pump.

(photo may have been taken in the Czech Republic some years ago.)
I was just going to comment on how old the photo must be with your 185 in it, but then spotted your small print
My dad's got a receipt from the 60's for 5 star at 2/6 a gallon. Does that count?
-
lol that cant of been taken recently!
Last night at 16.50

This is the dearest I've seen in a while. Deans is just east of Marlborough on the A4. I pass it every week but it's always been too dark for a photo until now.
Sorry for the crap phone photo, the price reads 99.9.
Best way to demist the windows from the inside?
in General Celica Discussion
Posted
No. I've had 17 cars before the Celica and it's one of the best.
Prevention is always better than cure, and the way to prevent car windows from misting up is to clean them. Absolutely 100% clean glass doesn't mist up at all, it's dirt that causes it. If you keep the glass as clean as you can misting will be kept to a minimum.
