Great work there Splinter! Echoing the words of many others, I wouldn't take a can to my car (I know it's Amy's but it must be worse taking it to your girlfriends for fear of wrath!). I guess I'm luckier than most in having a mate who's a bodyworker at Dick Lovett in Bristol, come in handy several times with the old Ka. Look forward to seeing the repair in the metal/plastic at Japfest.

Nah, just a spanner!

I have indeed and I looooooove it!*in an appropriate way*

No bother mate! I understand the frustration that people lurking and not contributing to things. Most definitely isnt my way though. Are you coming to Japfest SJ? Would be great to have a poke around your car in the metal

I'm here. I lurked for about a week between looking at, buying and picking up my Gen7. There was no point in me posting whilst I didn't have any pics of my car! I do now and they're here. I did however read through ALL 29 odd pages of your mod thread SJ....Loving your work. I've also just put up a how to guide on the Gen7 board, so I am trying! I'll also be going to Japfest in mid-May, so hope to see you there. Cheers (and thanks for checking i exist! ) Lee (Thunder Grey, G7 T-Sport)

See, this is where i'm now slightly nervous. I bought the coolant to do a bleed and top up to get rid of a gargle in the system on my Gen7. Cant get to the coolant bottle to check whats in there currently without taking off the plastics (which i dont want to do without some replacement pop fixings which are on order). Everyone on here swears by the red longlife but MrT insisted that it had pink superlong put in at its service just before i picked it up 2weeks ago. Whats the bets now that i've bought pink, it'll be filled with red and i'll have to cock about with the plastics twice!?

Online from Pentagon. Just bought 5l of superlong from MrT and it bent me for 32quid. Also, Toyota World Bristol North dont offer discout for either Toyota Club or CCUK members either. Last time i get consumables from them methinks

Cracking looking T-Sport. Welcome!

I thought that too. I'm amazed that the dealer didn't know what that stood for! He tends to have a reasonable amount of fast stuff in there, so I can't believe that plate stayed on the car. Lloydy's new plate could be worth about half of his new car!

Sad to hear about your accident mate. Just so everyone knows can you tell us which road number and where it was? Being a Bristolian too I'd be really pissed with myself if I mullered my car in the same spot! Glad that you're relatively unscathed. Drop me a PM if there's anything I can help with for the car. I'm not brilliant mechanically but I'm good at making brew or handing sockets Is that from the place at the bottom of Lodge Causeway? I know a couple of people who've had nothing but issue from them but she looks ok. Good luck! If it doesn't work out there's someone round my neck of the woods selling a black pre-facelift Gen 7 which looks in pretty good nick and another bloke with a white Gen 5 2litre that is immaculate.

Can add theatres to that list. Went to a gig at The Mission in Bath on Friday and made sure I was sat in a window seat overlooking the car park opposite. Damm Celicalitus develops fast!

I do this too! Admittedly i've only had the Celica a week but hey! They do a sh**e job, but hey a compliment is a compliment.

Looks pretty sweet. Are you Bristol based then Matt? If so where? I'm from Staple Hill area you see
