  1. Cheap oil, good for a flush or if your skint...........(normally £12.99)
  2. V-Power and has 40k on the clock, might be because it's as clean as a whistle in there? Buy an old GT gen 6 and have a go
  3. Was it your celica that was written off? Did they give you a good price? Your new one looks tidy enough? Good spec? No facelift ones about? What lunp did it come with?
  4. There's still money out there for a mint Gen 6...... My stunning red one that was just lowered went for £1900 and my Black one for £1800, up for about 3 weeks each.. all the money I chucked at the wight one and could not get a grand for it? heyho....... They seem to sell better in the summer and on Pistonheads..... Sad to say that I am really loving the 7 at the moment though But I was driving a vectra diesel for a month before
  5. Not much help but here's one... http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/129140-gen-1-ta22-gt1975-l7500/page__hl__ta22__fromsearch__1
  6. Me? and my cars? I do like it quite a lot though... Not a 6 but getting to grips with it, covered 340 miles in it this weekend as well Foot well is not very big and I cant sit with me legs wide apart like a 6 Removed the little flap thing in the airbox...... Wheels are fooked and look tatty, but apart from that I am in love after the alfa 147 and the shit Vecta dti. You still got your Celica Dom? Did you sell?
  7. Yep, just can't stay away but this time thought I would go and test a 7, don't feel as at home as a 6 but still it has a toyota badge. Jap import on a 2002, first mod was a tank full of super unleaded, tomorrow some bg44. The rest can wait a week.... I might be more or less homless but hey!
  8. Did you have any good runs against any one that could drive? You looked quick off the mark and they were all asleep.
  9. Hehehe, dam them old 60 plates, no power!
  10. Good lad.......... Come on Hyper Jon buy a can!!!!!
  11. Love V-Power but never got near the same miles or the same feel on Momentum 99, V-Power gave a better responce and pulled that bit better I think, run a few tanks through....
  12. Is that the lame 2.2 yank lump fitted, what a shame if it is 2.2 L 5S-FE??
  13.

  14. Then we have this one pushing 190bhp!!! must be the kit, still looks tidyish http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-TOYOTA-CELICA-WHITE-/260884243744?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cbde9a520 and this looks very tidy, despit the 190bhp again..... but what is a DIGITAL ENGINE RUNNING SYSTEM? and it has fancy hoses!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-CELICA-GT-2-0-WHITE-AWESOME-CAR-STUNNING-WHITE-LOTS-SPENT-MUST-GO-/270844786184?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f0f9b7608
  15. Was this not a club celica or just look like one on here? The engine was rebuilt by Willenhall Engines, it is built with forge parts and can handle upto 400bhp, i dont know what pistons or conrods were used or what cams it has in it, i have changed most of the water hoses with samco hoses fitted a new intercooler and pipes, a twin fan setup on the rad with adjustable thermosat, it has an alluminium rad, the ac system has been removed to save weight and engine bay space, it has a full stainless steel japspeed exhaust which sounds very nice, toad alarm, there are a few problems with the car the main one being that the turbo needs rebuilding as the bearing has gone and it is smoking and burning oil through the exhaust, i dont think this is the standard turbo because it shoulg have ct26 on the turbo but instead it jus has toyota so all i can think is the compressor is off another toyota turbo car. the left rear wheel abs sensor has broken i dont no how or why it just did it one day and what ever is inside the which i think is aload of fine cooper wire, is chaffing inbetween the driveshaft and hub so makes a slight grinding noise and no its not the bearing iv chcked that. the other problem is when you come off the gas, the engine feels like its starved of air and when you change gearthe same thing happens and the car judders but doesnt do it if your smooth only when your rough and giving it stick, the only thing i can think it is, is the dump valve being too big and letting out too much air or there is too much vaccum either way its not major and shuold be a quick and easy fix but i just dont have the time and need the money. the paint is inn ok condition there are a few stone chips that have been touched up with the wrong shade of white and there is a dent on the sill from a jack, the alloys are peeling very bad too. i have a fuel cut defencer aswell for it and the milage is unknow as when i got it the previous owner had changed the speedo because it wasnt working and i changed it again because it still wasnt working but its all fine now. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/celica-gt4-st185-/120804117241?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c207c8af9
  16. Check out the arse end on that Gen 7!!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/toyota-celica-/270842253815?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f0f74d1f7
  17. You say that, but I think this is a very open minded forum, and can get some cracking advise from people on here from all walks of life. a 1.2 corsa would break with the abuse I chuck at a car.. Any how, pick up a vectra 2.0 cdti this afternoon with 98k on, it will do for now. I know that but the GT just drinks the juice of life..... and an ST would leave me hurting for a GT I'll be back in a Celica in the new year, Number 7 will more than likley be a T Sport though... Chuck the yearly bonus at it
  18. This stuff is top stuff, wait and see...... ignor the haters!
  19. I know I should look at something down market but I will never learn
