5 box has better ratios the slave is on the front of the gearbox and you cant miss it if bekks checked it im sure he would have seen leakign fluid

she also mentioned that the clutch has needed changing for a long while now, so it might just be sticking and slipping all over the place I have had clutches give up and still able to engage gears but get no drive and also clutches go that just wont engage any gear at all

celica gearboxes are pretty strong and if they go its usually the 3rd gear syncro and i would bet my life thats people driving along in 3rd with their hand on the gearstick it is still agood idea to see if any fluid is leaking anywhere aswell

wont be gearbox. doubt its a hydraulic issue or it would be getting worse by the day my money is on the clutch needs replaced, your only problem is your surrounded by auto drivers

if the battery is dead then just buy another in the spring for when your putting red back on the road the battery in my beams is goosed but will jump and run just wont hold a charge, the one in the ST just died completly and wouldn't jump at all. one battery gets moved around 2 cars just now and the beams will get a new battery when i get round to it over the years i have learned that a car with an alarm can usually be left for a week or 2 (depending on age of battery) but a car with no alarm and a good battery can be left for 3 weeks under a pile of snow in the narnia that is port glasgow and still start first turn of the key

considering i leave cars for ages at a time, all i do is disconnecte the battery and leave it on the bench. I try and start each car and allow it to warm up for at least 5 mins everytime i get up to the garage so they all get a run and the battery stays in good condition if i was mothballing a car completely and not going anywhere near it for months on end i would probably use a battery conditioner

haha the green gen 6 which i still technically have is the longest i have owned a single car for ever 4 years in those 4 years it was green facelift gen 6 GT blue pre-face gen 6 GT silver facelift ST grey facelift SSiii gen 5 GTI 16v White facelift SSii black Facelift ST black pre-face SSii technically i own 2 more celicas I bought a gen 4 on my last day of holiday in aus 2 years and had it delivered to my parents house much to their disgust also about a year ago when i decided i wasn't exporting my green gen 6 to australia my sisters bought me a green gen 6 ZR with a 5sfe engine. that makes 10 really

growing up I remember being a young teenager back in 1994 and a neighbour bought a gen 6 GT and I loved it, looked totally different to anything I had seen before. when i passed my test 3 years later these cars where still fetching £18k so i never bothered with them untill 2008 when i happened across one for sale near me in a horrible green colour and at a price I thought i could afford. popped along bought it and the clutch gave up on the way home. Over the next year i replaced the entire fuel system and brakign system along with both front hubs, none of this put me off and i drove the car untill last month also since then I have owned or own about 8 gen 6 celicas and even a gen 5. I have a real love of the engineering behind a GT4 of any generation however i think the Gen 6 GT4 looks a bit fugly. this wasn't my first toyota before the celica I owned a mk1 mr2 which a truck drove over the bonnet, that engine went into a corolla ae92 and i then moved onto subaru's if it hadn't been for the low price of a gen 6 my love of the celica would never have been rekindled

true dat, when the snow arrives i do like my handbrake turns

I can get good quality tyres for my 17s in rediculous 225/45/17s for not much more than 15's or 16's just looking for tyres for a set of gen 7 rims i have and prices are daft 225/45/17 falkens ze912 £66 each 205/50/16 falkens ze912 £58 each 205/55/15 falkens ze912 £56 each no point in going to smaller rims the cost difference is not enough to sacrafice the grip available from the wider tyres rant over

yeah but only Richs car and your black car are working. im sure that blue thing still has grass growing round it

I need to start bleeting like a sheep then, paint is so bad on my black car that im going to paint it satin im also looking to get rid of the JDM rears as i dont think they work on the black car

you sure, as far as i can make out the satin black look is for the VW boys, and with your spoilerless look and clean lines your into the euro look

richs old gen 5 is a perfect example of a non JDM car styled in a JDM way....and well done i might add

im with you on this, except my current car is JDM as fook

seen loads of yellow gen 7's seems to be one of the more common colours. Im glad your happy with a new car, wanna sell me your white GT

I found out about this about a month after i bought my gen 6 and had started mending things, then realised the MOT for the car done in the october had no advisories yet the previous MOT FAIL in the MARCH had a list as long as my arm and funny enough it was all the things my mechanic said where still wrong with it, he suggested reporting the garage that MOT'd my car to VOSA, instead I paid the previous owner a visit with the info I had and told him to cough back some cash or I would report his budy

dont think it has turned into that, I was just pointing out that low millage isnt always a good thing. there are plenty of low miles cars on here but most are probably at JAE

the logic is if you use it then it will be fine I walked from a gen 6 last year on about 50k 1 owner as the guy was about 75 and had never had it on a motorway or above 3000rpm

I have bought a few low millage cars from these types, 1991 corolla with 1 owner from new same shops only story and full service history, 35k but as the car had never seen a motorway......after a few weeks of driving every day and a few motorway journeys at 60mph the engine had it same with a 1998 fiesta again 1 owner 25k full service history engine blew up on motorway (that car had never even seen a roundabout) Low miles is good for a museum or a car show but not if you then want to turn it into a daily car

Supra

what did he do with it? buy it and then park it up and look at it I wouldn't touch a 22 year old car with only 7k on the clock unless i had proof it had been properly mothballed for the past 21.5 years

this is the most sound advice yet wayne, I have lost the keys for the black ST and have no idea where they are

sorn it and make sure the bodywork is bone dry when you garage it, your safe to disconect the battery from a celica and jsut conect back up in 6 months time. personally i wouldn't bother with an oil change etc untill your putting it back on the road, i would also rest it on some axle stands so as not to destroy your tyres you will get plenty more advice but i think the main one for a gen 4 is make sure its all dry

I used to think i had done well covering up and down the uk a few times in my car, but chan110 has made me look like a tortoise recently
