Well done Chris. Just nick the keys when he's not looking

the grommet breaksdown over time, its about the size of a £2 coin, put another grommet in and put some sealant over it. mine did the same and caused some very misty windows in the winter!!

get an ep82 over the glanza
no boost restrictions on them either.
theres a really nice one on ukstarletclub atm, think its in Cornwall. im very tempted to sell the Celica and buy another one tbh.
parts are fairly cheap and as said easy to tune, 200bhp starlet is a quick car., however I would sort the handling out first as there not the best round the twisties.
be aware though that there are alot of sh*t ones out there and probably not the best car to have a crash in either.
good mpg, cheap to run and very satisfying to see the look on the Boxster owners face when he can't shake you off!!
go have a drive in one and you'll see what all the fuss is about them!!

Seeing as though there seems to be alot of members ending up throwing their club stickers in the bin lately id thought id stick up a step by step guide on how to fit your club stickers as Ive just replaced mine due to frost/washing damage!!!
Ideally you want to be doing this on a warmish day without rain or strong winds.
What you will need:
Club stickers and a car to stick them on obviously, masking tape, tape measure (pink one optional) and a squeege. A credit card or even a cloth should be sufficent if you don't have one of these.
Step 1:
Clean the glass, make sure its completely dry and free from any particules and grease. Any sort of window cleaner should be sufficent.
Step 2:
Put two small pieces of masking tape on either side of the decal and roughly place in the desired position. I fold the outer edge of the tape under itself to make it easier to take off the glass
Step 3:
Using the tape measure, measure off the top of the window lip to get the decal straight, I measured to the line off the Toyota logo. Start at one side and select a measurement (I choose 60mm), bring the tab off the glass and move that side to the desired measurement and restick the tab.
Repeat with the other side until your satisfied that its straight.
Step 4:
Put a hinge of masking tape along the top edge of the decal, half on the glass and half on the decal. Remove the tabs after doing this.
Give the decal a good rub over to ensure the vinyl sticks to the application tape (thats the clear bit!)
Step 6:
Flip the decal upwards and brush off any debries that may have gotten onto the glass.
Step 7:
Very carefully peel back the backing paper, keeping it as close to itself as possible. If any letters stay on the backing paper gently roll the backing paper back over it and press down.
Step 8:
With the backing paper removed flip the decal back down. Keep it close to the glass but don't let it touch, you should keep it as tight as possible.
Step 9:
Smooth the decal down using the squeege, start in the middle and work acrosswards, use a firm pressure.
Step 10:
With the whole decal stuck down its now time to remove the application tape. This is where it can go a bit pear shaped!! Start at a top corner and keeping the app tape virtually parallel to itself gently peel it back. If any letters stay stuck on the tape roll the app tape back onto the glass and squeege over it again or press on it with your finger. If after a couple of attempts the vinyl still won't stick to the glass then it'll more than likely be down to grease on the glass, give the glass another good wipe!
This is the way I fit graphics, its not the only way to do it but I find this method the easiest.
This method can be used to fit the decals to the body work and also to the inside of the glass, however due to moisture build up when fitting interior stickers it maybe nessaccery to use brown parcel tape instead of masking tape.
Hope this little guide will be of some use to someone- 2
