  3. MOT for rebuilt Celica

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    I'm shortly going to be chucking her in for the MOT.

    I have replaced the engine, exhaust, suspension, brakes, pretty much everything really and am concerned regarding emissions.

    She currently sits there without the battery plugged in as it soon runs flat. Regarding the ECU and how long it takes to settle I was going to warm the car up the night before leaving her on tick over and will then leave the battery on and then drive down in the morning.

    The local garage is only a mile away. She has no tax or MOT and is currently SORN. I don't want to go driving her about beforehand as its illegal and where I live has a busy police station and I am that unlucky. :(

    Just wondering how long the ECU takes to sort its life out and will it do it being revved a few times on my driveway?

    Many thanks for any suggestions. It's taken a year to rebuild so. Really want to pass this :thumbs:

    Oh. It's a Gen5 ST182 if it makes any odds :)

    Nah. It would have been in valet mode before. From memory try pressing the two small buttons together or it could be the big one with one of the smaller.

    If you google arrow alarm I think you can still get the instal sheets. I not and you can wait till Saturday when I get home I can let you know as in away at the moment :thumbs:

    Probably off the car do you don't get flat spots and at pressure indoors.

    I have not done any of the above :blush:

    I will just use these for storing the car over winter do not fear peeps :)

    I will sort out my other alloys first and deal with the winter ones at a later date. Thank for the info. I have a tyre fetish so it'll give me something to look at ;)

    Keep the 6 and save your cash. Engine goes pop look for a new car or just drop a 2nd hand engine in. I'd go for the second option personally. Get a new lump for around the £200 mark. Just done it in mine. The liquids cost almost as much as the engine :(

    I'm crap at math but how much is a new car going to cost when averaged against the difference in fuel spend?

    Plus your car looks pretty good for a Gen6 :sofa: how much would it take to get a Gen7 looking as good?.... Squillions :sofa::D :D

    But if you really want a new car go for it.
