The man may not know his farm animals, but he is right that crewchief is the man for plugs

Love this

That's bull

Check the plugs? Sounds like a fuelling/firing issue

Have you checked the oil to see if there's any white crap in there?

Can people post what they are using as the ones I had caused a fail to my mot as they were blue, despite the packaging saying they're white

Another option is RT-Performance a few members use them, Ray and Taras the owners both started out here and know Celicas inside and out. Google them and you'll find their site Moved to general discussion as non gen specific

Yup monthly runs due to the vast new members it would be a hell of a task to do every one as they came in. Be patient they're worth the wait

Why do you have wider wheels on the back of a FWD car? Just wondering if there's actually any benefit to that which I don't know about. Moved to general discussion as not 7 specific

If I could be a valeter anywhere...

I've had this recently, not sure why, can't explain it... Even thoughts of another car don't do anything for me, unsure whats made the motivation die? If you find out lemme know lol Opening up would be a good idea and probably the best way. I hated doing that though tbh and the heat from the oven/radiator/hairdryer has caused some discolouring on mine. I'd try a few of the silica gel sachets you get in shoes left in the headlight, sealed for a few hours. Btw, thinking on a string not just thrown in Is it discolouring or condensation? And are you sure its on the inside?

Glad you're back mate, your car was always one to watch... As for the advisories it sounds like a pisstake... I had a long list of them when I first got my car, including the fuel filler pipe being corroded. Year later I had the car MOT'd and asked them to see how it was, there was no issue. The year after that I went back to the original place, same tester, checked the advisories... Nothing... I said to him "Wow, Toyotas are f*cking amazing cars" he said "yeah they're ok" I then explained to him how over the last two years, the car had magically healed itself of all these issues he had previous found... He had literally not a word to say, told his manager and made it clear that the business I work for would no longer be taking the company vehicles there because of them trying their luck. Watch them mate. Very rare these days that anyone with a trade is an honest man and will try and lever the extra cash from your wallet. Feel free to be petty enough to ask the advisor to point out all the problems, if they wanna treat you like you're clueless, act clueless... Get them to point out what the advisory is exactly and why its a fail... If you want to give the impression you'd have the work done there it'll help Also may be worth swinging by a different mot place and asking someone to look over the advisories and slipping them some cash for their trouble. More info + Second opinion.

I drink and I drive but not in that order, Just at shows with the club in a public disorder, Don't drink on the quarter, just wait for the light, Shift into second, land lift if its right. Switch into third, stay tight in your lane, Keep crossing the line at the front of your brain, Celica means heavenly, so pray to the heavens, And thank all the gods for making the Seven.

He means they're 7.5 inches wide, not the usual 7, i'd assume they're the usual 17 inch?

Toyota wanted to charge me £100 for 5 mins of my car saying "Konichiwa?" and they're reader saying "Hello?" its now why i'm not on their christmas card list lol

You have a T-Sport with a 2zz-ge... A high revving engine.... Fuel economy pretty much went out the window when you handed over the cash Seriously the rule of thumb is more revs = more cash. A higher gear at higher speed = better, but don't be in 6th gear trying to climb hills and shit, 6th is for cruising, not pulling.

They do look great, I love when people post pics of their dials, gives others inspiration too If you don't go round stamping the road... Then thats dangerous... If you do.... Thats probably dangerous too... This post is full of danger.

A year goes by so fast but clearly he's not forgotten by you or any of us and never will be. In years to come people on CCUK will still speak of the legendary Mr. Bishi and he will always be held in the highest regard, both by those who knew him and those who have only heard the stories. Rest In Peace Simon. Amen brother

It is awesome. I personally love it more than not, its also nice when you come across someone respectable (ie not a corsa or saxo) and beat them then sit at the lights talking to them about cars for a while. I got completely devastated by a Cupra R turbo on the motorway and for the next 15 miles we were just driving along shouting at eachother through the windows about eachothers cars, not like "Yours is shit... AHHH!" but having a conversation lol he even warned me with his hazards about a police car coming up ahead when i started getting a bit carried away. Yes you'll come across some dicks, 90% of the time you'll be faster than them, and the other 10% of the time they're so stupid that you don't even want to try to keep up. Best game ever if you get an exhaust is to make as much noise as you can in the multistorey or underground car park and place bets as to how many alarms go off and how long before security come out Edit: So I've been told... :rolleyes:

In the words of ORC "Noone ever leaves" Happy Birthday CCUK. Thank you for all the information you've taught me and for all the friends and stalkers i've made over the years.

I had three punctures in the month I was thinking of taking my spare out.... Needless to say, its still in there.

1 and a half words.... "Fuck 'em" Those with JDM's can't get premium fuel at every petrol station, sometimes pull up and have to go elsewhere or suffer the terrible ticking noise.... This will be the same thing as that, just have to occasionally hunt for a different place to get fuel. I'm sure it won't be an issue. If its gonna fuck up the seals and shit in cars, it'll fuck up the seals and shit in petrol stations... So everything from the tanks to the pump will need to be uprated... The government won't pay for that.... Surely not in our economic climate? The places won't pay it... Even BP won't be a fan of ripping up their forecourt leaving their stations out of action for days only so they can sell shit at the same profit as before, but obviously minus a massive chunk to enable them to.... This is one of those ideas thrown about that sounds like a great idea in the houses of parliament, but once they step out of their suits they realise the implications.

Not just you, I found that hilarious. I'm pretty damn sure thats a photoshop.
