Rattles are the main issue I have with the Gen 7; though it'd help if my doors would stay open when I'm getting out. Nothing like getting home from work with a load of files to carry in when the door won't stay open
The door mirrors dripping water is a pain as well, makes getting a good clean a pain when you have water lines from the mirrors.Yeah I noticed that as well. The door has to be open at a certain point for it to stay open, which isn't ideal when the doors are quite big and you've parked next to someone. It's either half open to stay open or fully open, those are the two options lol.
The rear wiper "spray" or fluid is just the most useless thing ever as well. It just dribbles out.

Should've put this in general.

Water runs from the wing mirror bases!!!!!!! Makes me wanna pull the dam things off
OMGGGGG! That is annoying. Just when you think you've finished cleaning it you look at the mirrors and there's a dried up line. FUUUUUUUUU

That's an easy fix
How? A lot of people have tried but still say the brakes don't feel good. It's not the actual brakes it's the feel of the brake pedal.
-
So I'm driving a 1997 Civic Coupe atm and I feel like I'm driving a van and the steering is horrible, but the brake feel is tremendous. The G7 brakes are truly terrible, I feel so confident stopping in the Civic, the pedal is stiff and bites straight away. If there's one thing I really dislike with my Celica, it's the brakes.
So be honest, what do you dislike about your Celica?

Seeing her gleaming as I drove up to rtp is amazing. I was like "where is this place?" then BOOM I see your car, I didn't even care if that was rtp I was going over to look anyway. Taras was going through the work on my car but I was more interested in your car tbh haha. I might have had a sneaky peek at the work being done on yours too... Shiiiiit lol. I didn't have time to read it all. My car's going in tomorrow so I'll hopefully see yours again. It's just amazing in the flesh mate, pictures don't do it justice at all and considering how good it looks in the pics that is something!

I got my Carbon bonnet from Ray. Good stuff i can vouch for his stuff, top workman ship. Ray does loads of Carbon Fiber stuff, poylurathane and glass fiber product, also bodywork, and wrapping, hes based in london just off the end of the M4.
not sure on his single unit price as i got loads of stuff from him on a deal. And his website www.RT-performance.com i think is still under re-construction!! send yellowchinaman a PM if ya need anything from him.
Mine: Stealth carbon!!
Rays Carbon Spoiler:
And side by side with SJ's whos is wrapped for a deirect comparrison:
Matt.
Seen your car when I went to RTP on Fri. Gotta hand it to you mate that is a lovely looking car, looks stunning in the flesh
-
I can come and watch you struggle whilst I drink the beer.
-
Lol it took me a few seconds to realise it was a Celica
It looks nice, but I'm not a fan of making a car look like another car.
-
Those wheels!
-
Cheers. Those pads are tough right? Because the mud/dirt or whatever it is looks pretty thick. Will any polish work? I have pledge and megs car polish lol.
-
So I have a TRD exhaust in my garage awaiting fitting. It's 2nd hand and is covered with stuff that looks like ancient molten rock or something lol. Looks like a layer of molten rock crust... How the feck do I get rid of this and make it shine again?
-
1zz turbo looks like a 350z from the front.
-
Mine sort of err fizz when the brakes are applied. The ticking is a lot quieter when braking and not really noticeable (you'd expect some sort of noise if a pad is rubbed against a non smooth surface, I guess).
-
That's possible. But all of us having sticking calipers? Mine squeak as well at very random points, not all the time, and not when you first press them, and not every time...
-
I get the same with my mtec dimpled and grooved. It sounds like something's fallen off my car and is rattling around.
I wonder if people can hear from the outside over other road noise. Kinda defeats the point of looking cool if you sound broken.

Not really. I respect any car that has been modded to go fast. There's a load of turbo'd Corsas around where I live, and yeah, they get a thumbs up from me. People may think that it's just a shitty Corsa, but they'd probably whoop 90% of the cars on here
In a straight line tho...Or any car that has had a load spent on it.
But it has to look nice.And expensive cars. They're nice to look at, but a lot of people envy people who have them, and call them show offs. But if I see an exotic car on even an M3 or an RS4 or something I'll say fair play, they've worked hard for that. Like my mate saw the new Focus RS and the lad driving was giving it some, and he called the guy an idiot. The car's built to do that, what's the point of getting a fast £30k car if you're not gonna use it??? Obviously there's a line, but he was just going in a straight line. Everyone on here does stuff like that.
TBH, other Toyotas are boring. Yaris is just another small hatchback, Prius has aids, Corrola is just another hatchback kinda blends in with the other hatchbacks, RAV4 nah... Supras and Glanzas are cool though
My next car probably won't be a Toyota if I'm honest. Since turning 21 the insurance on 'fast' cars has gone down to something acceptable. I can see myself moving on in the next year or two.
Nissan 350Z... Hello

I have Megs Scratch X. Will that work? I've never used it before.
Yeah ams I was gonna just try to wash it off with car shampoo. see if that does anything, then move onto the Scratch .
-
Feel like a right tw*t. Scraped my passenger side door on a concrete pillar at work. It looks horrific
I'm praying it looks worse than it is, because I was able to get some of the dust off by my finger and spit, so I hope it hasn't gone through the paint. People were saying coz it's concrete the chalk left by it will make it look worse. I hope they're right.
What do people advise I do? I was thinking of cleaning, clay bar, waxing and polishing my car tomorrow anyway. That won't do any harm will it?
-
What do you learn at these advanced driving lessons?
-
This would involve cutting the seats in half. No.
-
I'd stop the car, take the offender out and choke slam them if anyone lights a ciggy in my car.
-
I've been debating this myself for the last month or so... I might go for it today!
EDIT - Just looked at the weather forecast and it says heavy rain at 1600... And rainy from midweek onwards. Not today for me.
What do you NOT like about your Celica?

My mum thought people outside could hear it so they know you're reversing
