    Yeah, i found the Halfords Super Red a totally different shade to my car, best to get one mixed to match

    Gutted to read this, but i can't really comment can i What i can say is that this is one damn quick car, especially out on track

    Sorry, but anyone can call themselves anything international, don't be suckered in by a name I would be highly surprised if there are any new major developments in Gen 7 Celica tuning coming out in the near future, short of what Se7en does as he is the only company in the UK that i know of who is actively developing any performance products for the Gen 7

    Not meaning to sound rude or anything, but you don't seem to know a great deal about cars asking questions like that The guys response is more likely to give him time to think up things he can sell you and tell you it will give you XX bhp increase Best place to ask is here, what we don't know isn't worth knowing about

    Just had my 4th year, then the Celica decided to try and kill me, so i'm killing it first Longest i have ever had a car though, so there must be something in it

    I'm 99% sure i'm doing it right as i have removed the CV joints off the other side and off the other pair of driveshafts off the donor car, but this one just won't budge
  8. rpsmith79
    There is nothing to pull (or push) against on the Gen 5 driveshaft, the only way is to knock it off as far as i can see
  9. rpsmith79
    Yeah, i think i'll give that a try tomorrow morning Ant

    Well, it's managed to defeat everyone at work, even the maintenance fitter who can pretty much fix anything So it looks like i will have to resort to plan B and use the unknown drive shaft out of the donor car
  11. rpsmith79
    I think you get a new ring with the CV joint, so shouldn't be a problem snapping one I have brought it to work with me where we have bigger vices and bigger hammers
  12. rpsmith79
    This one just will not knock off, i even brought out my small lump hammer with no luck I could use the driveshafts off the donor car, but i know mine are in good nick as the inner CV's were done a couple of years back
  13. rpsmith79
    How the feck do you remove CV joints I have seen a video on Youtube of a guy holding the driveshaft in a vice and tapping the CV joint off with a hammer Now i have tried this on one of my driveshafts and it worked fine, the other however is another story, it won't budge no matter how hard i whack it What am i doing wrong????? HELP PLEASE

    Early MKII's had 3SFE engines
  15. rpsmith79
    Ahh yeah, i've heard or Varley, just never heard of Gell batteries before
  16. rpsmith79
    Ahh right, never heard of them Might be worth contacting the company that make them and ask how long they should last
  17. rpsmith79
    A what????
  18. rpsmith79
    Sounds like mine, more noise the more you rev it, and i'm 90% sure mine is the bottom end
  19. rpsmith79
    What the hell are Alloy Gaitors???
  20. rpsmith79
    You probably couldn't have switched from a more polar opposite type of car actually Big, comfy, bags of torque TO small, stiff, rev the nuts off it
  21. rpsmith79
    I'm assuming you mean a Beemer 540 I suppose that is quite a big difference in car to go from a large engined executive saloon to a relatively small engine sports coupe though Anything in particular you aren't jelling with, i suppose the engine takes some getting used to being that it needs to be revved hard
  22. rpsmith79
    Yep, i did a DIY job on a previous car, lasted about 3 weeks before it fell out Just pick up the phone and speak to your insurance company, that is what we pay them extortionate amounts of money for, you may as well get your monies worth out of them

    How about a Paseo, basically a Starlet with a coupe body, slightly smaller than a Celica, but a more economical 1.5 engine I have never driven a Paseo, but my ex's old Starlet was really quite fun to drive
