  1. Sold my Yaris TSport to my mum & dad so I could buy the Celica I have now.

    At the weekend I got a call about a horrendous knock and squeak from the drivers front and it turned out the bush cups had corroded through so I fit Toyota ones £80 retail but I got staff discount).

    Can I ask how much these were pal?

    £80?!?! :o

    These are £47.95 from Energy Suspension

    Ordered on the 25th June and they arrived today, so exactly a week from the US.

    comes with lube too :D

  2. I had the Hyundai Coupe and Celica on Need for speed underground.

    Prefered the Hyundai so much more but once i was old enough and could afford my own 'proper' car, reading lots of reviews, the Celica looked the better bet. Plus the styling really appealed to me.

    Went for a black 140 first as insurance was a killer, loved the black and the power over my old Clio... But soon the idea of missing out on 'lift' got too overpowering.

    Then a Storm Blue T-Sport became available, so I bought that and sold the 140.

    Such a great, sexy, and quite economical car.... but it had to go as saving up for a house (which very nearly finalised on).

    Currently driving a Yaris T-Sport which is good fun, but not as much fun or sexy as the Celica. :(

  3. Me - delightful woo hoo.... I'll pass that comment on to Wifey and see what she reckons. I wasn't 'delightful' in her eyes today when she got home from work and found I'd done some weeding in the garden and had pulled up most of her newly planted young seedlings thinking they were weeds.... :o No flowers or eatable things growing on them, how the hell was I to know they were wanted.... women!

    :lol: she should have labelled them

  4. £15 is standard London price for fitting tyres.

    Kwik-Fit wanted £17 per corner which i thought was odd as they must get so much custom they'd be able to have slightly lower prices...

    after lots of calling different places I managed to find one small wheel place that would do them for £10 a corner. ... had to wait around for an hour and a bit though as it was a small place and they were short staffed.

  5. well if the 2x 912s are legal, there's no real harm in saving some money and just buying 2x 914s.... then getting 2 more then the 912s wear out. But then it is good to have brand new rubber all over.... so if you can afford that, it might be worth it.

    215/45 will be 10mm wider than 205/45, so you will get a little extra rim protection, but a very slightly bigger rolling radius, but a little more comfort.

    I'd go for 215/45 as it's a bit less harsh on bumpy roads
