  5. What came in the Post Today?

    oooh, very nice! shame about the nuts though...

    I've always wondered about staggered fitments and dished rear wheels though... what happens when you need to replace the tyres on the front wheels?

    'They' say that new tyres are meant to be put on the back axle, so do you have to remove the tyres from the back wheels and put them on the front wheels? And then put the new ones on the rears?

    :think:

  6. Great way to start a Monday morning.

    :( sorry to see this dude. at that height it looks like it was a lorry or van, and I bet they probably wouldn't even have felt it.

    plus the majority usually have the stereo on full pelt too, so prob couldn't hear it either :(

    But as AMS said, it should be in the £4-500 range.

    I had something similar, dented and creased, and it was £450 to get this sorted on my 140 (I also returned to the car to find the damage with no note or anything)

    It's not cheap, but probably better than claiming off insurance, losing your NCB and having future premiums affected.

    Koni shock absorbers, any good?

    I've got Koni STR.T (orange) shocks on the front of my Yaris. Koni are a huge name in suspension so you can't go too far wrong with them.

    The orange are a newer version of the red, which are uprated from OEM, and supposedly designed to be used with standard or lowering springs. They're not adjustable like the yellows


    If i recall there is a relatively new package available: Koni STR.T shocks with H&R lowering springs fitted.

    welcome! I do love the lime green, and as has been mentioned, there's only so many different combinations for parts and colours on the Celica, so whatever you do it's always going to resemble someone elses :)

    At least the chances of coming across another one day-to-day is very very slim.

    I'm just in Loughton, shall keep the eyes peeled for a lime green car while out and about near Romford/A12 area :)


    With regards to the lip, lowered 35 and with the C-One lip I just had to crawl over the speedbumps, and approach them at an angle, 1 wheel at a time.

    I think the C-One is a fraction lower than the Greddy too, so just take your time and you'll be fine :D
