if you buy a new matrix then you can do it without removing the dash as it will come with new clips A used one - if you open the clips you wont get them back on - so I supply them with the pipes as well. to fit it complete - to fit that the dash needs to come out. A lot of people chops the pipes half way on the old and new and join with rubber hose so that you dont have to get the dash out. I have one good matrix left if you do want to get a used one.

The original bearings very rarely fail on the celica - my car had the originals on all 4 wheels at 288,000 miles. Usual cause of a failed bearing is potholes - they are pretty well sealed once all fitted so driving through puddles shouldnt have caused it to fail. -
Mintex have a good reputation on here but I find they are very much a budget brand. Before I opened the thread, I though I bet he's running mintex pads. I found they never lasted more than 10,000 miles - compared to 20-30k on other brands.

not a fan, I imagine with it going through a valve you wont get as much out and any sludge wont get past the valve either, I expect it will take longer to drain as well

Great to hear this has stayed in the club

celica ones arent worth that much, genuine ones £35 - £40, aftermarket - £10 - £15 - thats on the g7 - the earlier ones are even less.

There are drains at the bottom of the doors - if you block these your doors will rot. I wouldnt put wax in there - would poke the holes to make sure they are not blocked though

Least rusty area in UK to buy from!!!

Agree on Scottish cars - have seen some that have been really bad from there. Most coastal cars seem to be bad Cars from around the midlands seem to be ok. -
Those with JDM cars will know a normal OBD reader wont work with there car, I have a tool that does them but it was quite expensive and has been discontinued, I have just come across this - which covers JOBD https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JOBD-OBD2-Car-Scanner-Engine-Fault-Code-Reader-Diagnostic-Tool-for-Japanese-Cars/392269988842?epid=14031257018&hash=item5b551d03ea:g:tcYAAOSwTUdco0hj I have not tried it but for the price if you have a JDM car its worth a shot!

Im cutting some sills out of a car this week for a customer , looking at that spare wheel well I think I might cut that out as well for future use
-
The sills have been rotting on some of these for a while now, more than 5 years when I first found a rotten one after taking the side skirts off, looked fine with the skirts on
