  1. One tyre wearing more than the othe?

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Felfy

    General Gen 7 drivers syndrome

     

    Passengers front tyre takes all of the load/wear on islands and normal bends

     

    Front passenger/nearside will wear twice as fast as any other tyre

     

    Recommend Uniroyal Rainsport 3

     

    Incredible adhesion in any weather

    (Wildly wet/mildly moist/disappointingly dry)

     

    Not the hardest wearing of tyres - But they really perform where it matters most:-

     

    In the wet/moist

    (Normal UK weather)

  2. Rattling bonnet

    Hi jakey__boy

    If your Bonnet Adjustment Grommets are loose/worn/perished I'll bet you will have some paintwear on your engine bay.....

    This might help.....

    Paintwork Worn Through To Bare Metal Under Bonnet Bumpers

    And this:-

    Custom Resin Badges Supplied By Slugster - Fitted - Extremely Pleased

    (I think Slugster has stopped producing resin decals - Mook might be the answer)?

    And for good measure, I'll throw this in.....

    By Dawns' Early Light

    As a good excuse for getting up (very) early on a quiet Sunday morning, going for a drive and really enjoying your Celica - Just for the sake of it :)

  9. GT, taken up the rear

    Really sorry to see/read this Samuaw

    You genuinely cherish your Celica; it's a real shame, some (expletive deleted), has run into you

    I drive 6 hours a day and all I'm doing is watching/avoiding/preventing potential accidents

    We're all human, but some of the drivers on our roads have less braincells/common-sense/road-craft than an amoeba

    Hopefully your insurance company is a good/honest/genuine one and your claim & repairs will be resolved/fixed quickly

    Get that GT back on the road!

    Good luck & keep us posted

  11. Painting calipers

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks. My calipers are like black with dirt though and seem to have about a mm of ancient crust that is showing no signs of coming off. How would you reckon I clean them? I've only done one layer of shit paint on one caliper btw. And can I use a hair dryer to dry the paint or put them in the oven to speed up the drying process is this cold weather?

    For cleaning, I'd pressure/hose wash them first, then brake cleaner & a wire brush and possibly an old toothbrush for the tighter areas

    Dry thoroughly

    A hair dryer or the oven will work, (not the microwave), but each coat of Caliper Paint/Hammerite tends to dry within 30 minutes

    This time of year can be too cold for 'outdoor' caliper painting and also all your hard work will be dirty again within 3-4 weeks

    Personally, I paint mine in mid/late March, ready for the, (hopeful), Summer

  14. electric window problem

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Felfy

    You can have a quick look at the switch as mentioned above

    If the thin orange strip at the top of the switch is visible - The window is active/powered

    If the thin orange strip at the top of the switch is not visible - The window is inactive/unpowered

    Hope it's a simple fix/button press for you

    Hi blaine

    Have you checked you Passenger Window Isolation Switch?

    If the thin orange strip at the top of the switch is not visible - The window is inactive/unpowered

  16. Little challenge for the Midlands people

    Posted · Edited by Felfy

    Thanks for the kind comments, Canon4pics, Booth & Others

    I always strive to combine the Celica to the backdrop

    What's nicer?

    The foreground focus or the background backdrop?

    Or is it a mixture of both subjects?

    I'll post the postcodes (:D), when I can find the appropriate plug-in on GoogleMaps

    Anyone want the links to my other/older images?
