Just thinking! My tyres are new so if I get some wheels I would want to fit the tyres.
There 215/40/17 so would they fit any 17" wheels?
-
I'm just going to put it on the back for now and look for new wheels plus I'm looking for a new car so might not have it much longer
-
Different wheel :-( it's the original alloy off the car,
I'll try it on the back then at least it will be better steering.
-
Went to get my front wheels balanced because the steering wheel was shaking at 70 and turns out the passenger side alloy is buckled!
I know exactly where and when this happened as well, bloody roads!!!!!
Anyway my question is if I swap it with the back passenger side wheel will I feel it as much? It doesn't feel great when cornering or changing lanes so thought I wouldn't feel it if it was on the back?

I've got the cheap 4 quid ap ones and they work perfect, clear the screen brilliant. I had the last ap set for 2 years .

Nice one mate! How did you straighten out in the end?
-
Yeah you could try a bit of heat an mould back into shape
-
What's happened has it squashed in or twisted? Can't really make it out
-
You got a good deal there mate nice one.
As for fixing I'm guessing fibreglass and some body filler

The start of adding small gold bits to under the bonnet

Well mine will be up in bowness this weekend but I've never seen another one up there!
And I'd say Warrington is gen 7 capital, there's loads of the things! Plus a gen 7 gt at the top of my road
-
So it's all sorted the rattle now? Mine knock as well when I brake which annoys me!
-
That's a great help mate thank you! Never heard of that place before but they seem to have everything at really good prices!!!! :-)
-
Has anyone got any tips or ideas of how to stop brake pad rattle?
It's on my gen 6 rear calipers, both sides!
When I put copper grease on the edges it stops it for a few days but soon returns. The pads move around in the metal pad retaining clip things. It's doing my head in now
-
Didn't know you could buy anything like that, I'll have to get some when I next refurb my wheels
-
I've had the seal kits from both places and they seemed exactly the same quality
-
Enjoyed reading that! I love that black gen4
-
Cheers guys!
It might be easier to leave and spray them on the car then so I'm not having to get every bit of tiger seal off so they sit back flush when I re-tiger seal them on :-)
-
I'm thinking of removing my trd spats so I can respray them off the car Instead of rushing it on the car.
Now I've tiger sealed them on and then put black silicone round the top to seal it all, so all I need to know now is how easy or a pain in the arse will they be to remove and how will I do it, or would I end up ruining paint on my bumper?
-
So am i
-
Nice one for finding that, saved me f*****g it up big time
-
I thought you could wash it off?
nitromors says its washable
-
Does anyone know if its ok to use paint stripper on fibreglass?
I want to strip the paint off my spats
-
That guy needs some wheel spacers
Plus it looks like a car from the 80's cartoon m.a.s.k
Diagnostics for failing cats!?
in General Celica Discussion

Right here's the story!
While I've had my st it's failed both mots it's been for! 1st one was original cat had failed, got a new one fitted and it passed.
2nd one was the new eurocarparts cat had failed! Thankfully it was under warranty and I had it swapped for a new one and got that garage to do the mot, and it passed.
After the new cat was fitted my car seemed quieter and smoother, but then it went back to the usual sound of the exhaust and now I'm just worried there's something making the cat fail!?
What are my options to find out what, if anything is wrong? And what could it be?
I was going to get it terracleaned and then a new catback fitted with a new cat and then run it on vpower and use a bottle of cataclean every couple of months.
What do you guys think??
