what a cool looking car!

The beams engine.....................
-
x2Well done to you for sticking to your guns, and for at least showing that the copper was a lazy twat and hadn't done his observations or his job properly. Though when all is said and done I dont see how most of these issues with legality can still stand with so many unknown/unreliable factors. Fucking joke.
This situation has to be cleared up otherwise coppers will just use and abuse the situation

my mot guy is brill.......................because i dont used the beams alot, he had to warm it up for 10mins to fly through the missions.
He told me most garges would charge me approx £30 just to warm it up but say they had to adjust parts of the car to justify the cost
-
is it bad news..................thought he might have told us as he was here
-
its coming.................................come on then what happened
?
-
we should have staged a mini protest outside the courts ..................and rev our engines in victory afterwards!
:lol: -

ive got those already but want a bit of colour as my new alloys design will show my new nutshttp://www.ebay.co.u...=item3ccaaeb4b8 dont buy these they are crap !!!!
With these style of nuts (http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1438.l2649), will they look nice sticking out a bit about 10-15 mm?

So if i want a strong wheel nut that doesnt rust..............whats the best option?
They need to be slim line not oem style wheel nuts

Everything you hear, you have to take with a pinch of salt.
Some changes will make some areas better and make some others worse etc etc.
Its the owners choice.
I hear about Toyota spent x amount of research blah blah, but that was along time ago and some areas (not all) has moved on and and improved since then, so some areas/mods will improve the car than the original parts ever did.
It all depends what and how the owner wants the celica to perform.
I would be careful what some of these garages say also, as the mentioned garage at the start of this topic thought they knew all about the 7afe engine and they didn't.
Go with your instincts, weigh up the pros and cons and do what you want............its your car after all not theirs.
