  1. Hardest problem is making a box of enough - gen5 wings are huge Flat screen telly boxes usually do the job - if your lucky you may find one left out on bin day
  2. is abs light only flashing when obd is plugged in?
  3. If your symptoms have subsided then I wouldn't be claiming whiplash - but that's just me. I would then ask the Bodyshop to include a courtesy car in there quote and then ask the person who hit you if they are happy to cover the costs. If it goes through your insurance then it will end up being a 2000-3000 bill by the end - probably by a shit Bodyshop and will affect your premium even though it doesn't count against you.
  4. So I'm guessing you have put the water pipe where the breather pipe should be - can you post some pictures Lucky you havent hydrolocked it - quite suprised how it hasn't actually
  5. Not worth more than £300 without an mot really as could be a can of worms
  6. Was it the facelift Toyota stereo - if so it will only the facelift Celica - it has extra plugs that must be plugged in
  7. I would not want to use a hand bead breaker on alloy wheels - I remember them from around 25 years ago - and have used them a long time ago where in the west midlands are you?
  8. could easily be a money pit - mot'd 5s can be picked up for £500
  9. calipers should be fine as even with 275mm brakes, 15" wheels fit on. Offset on the 6 is generally lower so you may find they look like they tuck in to much on the 7 ( depending on what offset they are)
  10. Want another set of gen7 16s to refurb instead?
  11. We had these big claims with halo plugs about improving mpg and improving performance. I kept a mileage log for 10,000 miles with halos and 10,000 miles with NGKs - mpg was the same and I never felt any difference in power - never actually saw any real dyno figures despite all the claims.
  12. Any leaks on the gaskets / joins?
  13. Any slight leaks on the exhaust If not could be air flow meter causing it too run slightly lean
  14. I'm with Kev on this - the mc guard nuts I think have an outer spinning sleeve - order the key for £18 before you damage and make a bigger job
  15. Suprised the 6 doesn't have camber adjustment - given the 5 and 7 do
  16. Surely you can pick up a used 3s-ge for £100-£200?
  17. Gen6? It's on it's own belt from memory so probably needs replacing, can also check the fluid in case it needs topping up
  18. Are all 4 of your tyres the same size? Faulty abs sensor normally comes on permanently - I have found if it comes on at higher speeds only it's usually odd sized tyres
  19. I've just bought one and planning on doing the same thing!
  20. there are 4 rubber stops on the underside of the bonnet - they can be screwed up or down - try adjusting them one by one
