To be honest either I’ve lucked out every time I’ve had something brake related off the car and had to rebleed them I’ve never had a problem, or it’s because I do it all day everyday I know what to expect I’ve never had a problem with my brakes using the vacuum bleeder.
I’ve never had a problem with my brakes, I’ve never understood why people say that the brakes are crap of the 7, mine preform great on the road, it’s had enough abuse B road bashing.

I have one I used to use when I worked for volvo, now I’m in hyundai it’s useless because the capsthe same as the Toyota. I use a vacuum bleeder instead now

Drove Beddau to Watford 168miles to the Harry Potter studio, drove 15 miles to see a civic type r gt in a garage for sale, budget tyres, no history because they ‘lost it’ boot and bumper totally differnent colour red ‘they’re all like it apperntly’ wouldn’t budge on price. Called his bluff and drove back to sunny Beddau 183miles still with 1/4 tank of juice left, not driving gentally at all. The old girl done me proud today!

It would be interesting to see. But having had mates all my life running Hondas of all sorts id 100% put my money on the Honda.
Looks wise, the celica wins! Haha!

Valve adjustment is part of the servicing on the EP.
Unfortunatly the to have a 2zz actually make 190hp is rare, have a look at the dyne print outs in the sticky.
With those mods mods on an ep with a decat he could be around 230-230hp
-
I’d put my money on the ep3 for both unless you have an actual 190hp celica and he has a poorly K20.

Nah I wouldn’t worry about it. In the 14 years I’ve been in the motortrade the amounts of plates that I’ve drilled wonkey (pet hate) or we’ve broken when we drill them DVLA would have a field day.

She's getting there buddy, she was in very good solid condition when I bought it.
I handed her over to my mate who runs a high end vehicle detailing service.
So she's received a fully 7 stage detailing package that he calls the works package, full body decontamination process, full machining, full ceramic protection, underneath and wheel arch areas all rust treated and sprayed with high end body shoots.
Hubs cleaned, re-primed, painted
Calibres, cleaned, re-primed and painted.
Front and rear bumpers repainted.
Full re-furb on wheels and sent out to powder coat.
Full interior detailing as part of the 7 stage.
Then full big service next week.
That ceramic coating is the dogs! I had my Fiesta st done last year before it seen the roads, it came from the transporter straight to the workshop and then straight to be detailed and coated. Even now a year and half on a snow foam and gentle hand wash and it looks as good as new!
Your lucky having a detailing god as a mate it cost me £600 for a 2 stage Polish and coating. I’d love to get the celica done but I can’t justify spending more than the cars worth on a detail.

Fair play that looks mint,
Drove into the workshop, opened the bonnet, checked the oil, still not burning any, closed the bonnet and drove home.

My Astra did this years ago, I managed to reach the starter motor from underneath and get a jumper cable hooked up to the positive cable

Like orc said warm water to soften them, the ones I’ve had a nightmare with I spray a little hairspray on the pedal itself and then use it as lube. It’s slippery when you first spray it but dries sticky so it isn’t going to fall off like if you use WD40.
Little trick i used when changing MTB grips too.

I did well over 100 miles a day. Hence why I bought a reliable petrol car. Plus I can throw 2 bikes in the back ( front wheels removed) and enjoy my drive up through the Twistes. Yes a diesel something would be cheaper on fuel but I can guarantee I would have spent a fortune on repairs unlike my celica. 180k and still drive it the same way when I got it on 50k.

Brilliant thanks Kev.
Ill have to check the part numbers tomorrow, I've left the car in work tonight.

I need a set for mine, they've failed after 13 years!
Daft question i take it that's for one? I'll need or order 2 for both sides?
I was was trying to stay away from the eBay ones so these are spot on!

I always chew the nsf tyre in a year, I have 6 roundabouts on a quite dual carriageway each way to and from work.

I got a blank cut for when I'm in the sea, I lock my working key to the seat with a padlock.

I picked up a fiesta ST 3 at Christmas for my wife. Weve been in Devon for the week with it, first time I've driven it for any length of time and I've really fallen for it. It did 43mpg on the motorway. I fitted the mp215 at pdi which helps the pull on the motorway. It more roomy then my celica and far more comfortable. The price I got from work I couldn't say no as it was a customer pulling out.
Only downside im paranoid it's going to get stolen/parts stolen every time we leave it anywhere, even with the OBD relocate and 2 sets of locking wheel nuts, one ford and 1 Volvo.

Late invalid entry but I had a total Vauxhall feature shoot on a roundabout
Never mind Photobucket being daft

Buying a used car is a gamble, you win some and you loose some.
Ive driven my celica 110k plus 60 before I had it. I've replaced the clutch, they wear? And a brake calliper, again I've just rebuilt 2 on a mates DC2.
If you expected a old car not to have issues it isn't going to happen.

I’m back on my standard 16’s after damaging my weds, going from 215/40/17 on the weds to 205 55 16’s has made a massive difference to the way it drives, it doesn’t crash into bumps any more...but it looks crap! Haha
