I had the exact same thing with mine recently Ben. Very slow to turn over and the car did eventually start. I just stuck the battery on to charge and she's good as new. My battery is only a few years old though, hence why I didn't replace it. I'd get a new battery or invest in a charger if I was you mate

My sister had the same idea twice in a row hahahaa. At least I have one of the 140 and the Tsport

I'm busy I'm afraid mate otherwise I'd pop along and give you a hand. Sorry man

Craig, I can come over and give a hand on Saturday if you need. I've got some painting that I was hoping to be able to get on with so if Steve can come give you a hand then I'll leave him to it, if you get stuck though give me a shout and I don't mind popping over I'm sure I owe you about 5million favours by now so it's the least I can do hahaha

I'll have a quick check on my calender when I get home but I'm pretty sure that I'm free on Saturday so I can pop over and give you a hand if you need Craig. I'll let you know mate

Mook makes replacement decals for T-Sport centre caps if that's what you're after

Yeah Steve pointed these out to me as I was interested, but its not me that you're bidding against. I've bought Tom coupe's other set. Good luck!

Did you feel any extra power on your way back from RS with that Gareth? I'll get on topic now! I washed my car on Sunday morning and when i arrived at Rising Sun it was covered in little dots like that too. I presumed it was something to do with pollen but I wasn't really sure either.

If its lifting it sounds like the surface wasn't clean enough. None of my vinyl is lifting and I have the whole centre console done, and air vents. What did you clean with before hand and did you get any fingerprints all over the stick side of the vinyl when you were doing it? If everything was clean it sounds like the wrap you have isn't much cop. I have the same stuff as Mikey (3M Hexis wrap from Rich) and I'd highly recommend it

Its fairly straight forward to do so i think you can probably handle this one Steve, but if you do need an extra pair of hands let me know

Does this help mate? LINK Clean with fairy liquid, give them a quick rough up with some wet and dry so the paint keys in ok. Do several thin coats of colour. Leave 24hrs, then do the same with the laquer. To be honest I'm not sure how neccessary the laquer is, but if you want to do it that I can't see you needing high temp laquer myself, just a normal gloss laquer would be fine I would have thought

Bad luck guys, as Mek says, this is EXACTLY what happened when we did his springs on my drive. Got the fronts done and ran out of time for the rears! I'm sure you'll get it sorted soon though

Give me a shout when you're doing it and I'll come over if I'm free. I don't have any spring compressors either I'm afraid, but have an ask around mates/family members, they're a prime thing that people buy, use once and then leave on a shelf for 20 years. I've done springs on both my Celicas (and helped Mek with his fronts) and speaking from experience, you stand more chance doing the backs without compressors than the fronts as I recall, but I wouldn't fancy trying it without them. What year is your car by the way? When I did my T-Sport it was a breeze cos she was 2004 with about 35,000 miles on her, but when we did Gareths 2001 there was way more rust and grime, which really made things more difficult! Might wanna invest in some rust penetrating spray is why I bring that one up. Drop me a PM if you need me anyways

Ah, that'll be easier then

Couldn't you do what Joe did and get the very tops of the arches rolled just enough so that they don't catch any more? I think this worked out pretty cheap for him and the car still looks totally stock unless you look right up the arches

Money has gone through and everything now, so just give me a PM once you've got it and we can sort out me come pick it up off you cheers

I've bought the headlight I wanted off AMS and I'm about to paypal him the money for it now. If you wouldn't mind getting that for me that would be excellent cheers mate!

Hi Tom I'm after a passenger side front headlight in decent condition for my gen7. I PMd AMS about this today so we'll see what he says. If you wouldn't mind picking that up for me (assuming he has one!) then I'll buy you a beer or whatever

I don't really get people wanting to race, but I have left a few cocky midlife crisis enburndened businessmen looking shocked after I leave their BMW for dead with my celica screaming away in lift. It's sad, but it sure is good fun!

Yeah! A decade of the best car club ever

I put Mook dials in my celica over Christmas. There's day and night photos in my mod thread. Link in my signature! Oh, why don't you start the thread in Mooks corporate page? Then people from other gens can post theirs up too (he does 6's as well right?). Just an idea
