    I'd been with Greenlight for years until this year as they weren't doing Agreed Valuation any more,which I needed for my Gen4,so I now have both my cars with Flux.Although they are on modified policies,but yeah shop around with the names the guys have mentioned.Mileage is an important consideration as is whether it is a second car,not a daily,if a second vehicle with low annual mileage,then you should be able to get a classic policy that suits. Flux do those too,for your reference.

  6. Coupes vs Liftbacks

    I've seen a few Gen4 coupes that have been made to look quite cool,but IMO that sort of shape worked better on the earlier models,not sure if they sit as well from the Gen4 onwards.The Gen7 pic,lol, looks like a genetic experiment where a 7th gen has assaulted an MR2 from behind.And it didnt end well for either :lol:

    There was an LSD available from TRD (quite probably in Japan only) and it was specifically for the ST202.

    Yeah for the -GE engine,available for SSII-SSIII cars with BEAMS engines, E56 type box and S54-06D. I've got the S54 LSD fitted with the BEAMS unit transplanted into my Gen4 

  10. seized bonnet release cable

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Sherv

    Ah right,only wanted to confirm.I couldnt open the bonnet on my car at Simply Jap the other year when someone asked to have a look at the engine.The cable was connected to the handle as normal but was slack with no tension.After getting home I jacked the car up and took off the front undertray and managed to pop the bonnet manually from under the car (handy having A/C delete so nice gap). It was just a small triangular nylon 'cone' thats part of the end piece of the cable assembly that sits in a recess to give tension at the bonnet latch end.It just needed reseating in its slot,it had popped up and out,making the cable too slack to pull hard on the latch.I used a teeny-tiny cable tie to strap it down so it cant pop up and out again,the cable itself moves back and forth through it.After 30 odd years it wasnt in there as tight as it should be so after umpteen uses it was likely to pop out again at some stage.

    The colour of Kev's car still strangely fascinates me after all these years . :think: B)

    It's not  just simply white,but it sort of is.And its not typical of the creamy off whites Toyota used.Sometimes it looks like its got the faintest hint of a spearmint kind of hue about it,but it sort of hasn't.And it always looks kind of different in almost every pic I see of it,and when I've seen it in different lights up close.But its not a pearl either so it shouldn't technically refract light particularly either.My brain can't seem to figure out what my eyes tell me should be a straightforward evaluation. I'm going to lie down and think about it.

    How much is he charging per photo and size? Or is he sending them as files?

    He charges for the images sent to you digitally then you can do what you want with them,he sends you proof pics with watermark copyrights across them so you can choose which images you want.

    Quote:

    I charge £8 per hi res file but if you buy multiples they get cheaper , for instance 5 for £35 or 10 or above would be £6 each .
