Ok. Thats a good thing. At least that'll go away when the clutch gets done. If it wasn't cause of the clutch, that'd be something else wrong with the car. Is it gunna feel like a different car once i get the clutch done?
-
Nice one. Cheers guys. Been driving her really carefully. Think its the first time I've concentrated while driving. Usually i just get in and drive. Don't like it. Lol. Oh and sometimes when i go to pull away, the whole car vibrates and shakes. Is this cause of the clutch?
-
Im in the same boat as you mate. About a couple of months til got cash. So i might be getting my bike out too.
-
Shit. Im hoping it'll last at least a couple of months. Just need to pay for the church and then can get my new clutch. Or if it goes before the church is paid for then it's gunna have to get done then. I don't want it to Fuck the flywheel up too.
-
Yeah im being really gentle. Sometimes it feels like im driving too slow. But i don't give a Damn if i annoy anyone for driving slow. Don't wanna kill it til i got the cash to get it fixed.
-
Hey guys.
Very wierd thread but gunna ask it anyway just to be safe.
As some of you know my clutch has started slipping. It only does it in 1ST and 2nd So far and doesn't do it all the time. Im very cautious when im driving now cause probably won't be able to get it fixed for a couple of months. Not good i know. Money's really tight at the mo.
How should i be driving the car? Change gear at low revs each time? Change gear at higher revs? At the moment im changing gear between 3000 for 4000. Sticking it in neutral and taking foot off the clutch when stopped at lights or roundabout.
-
Yeah. That one will fit on your car cause you've got a newer one. But the bloke said it wouldn't fit in my 1997 car. Unfortunately. I'd have to keep searching i suppose. LOL.
-
Here's the link to the one i was looking at. And when i emailed them to ask if it would fit on a 1997 celica, they said no, only newer cars with phantom aerials.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200705253833?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
So from what they said, all i can think of is the connection is different that plugs into the aerial lead. Or are they all the same in older and newer cars?
-
Mate are you definitely sure that fits a celica? I emailed the seller about that exact one and they come back to me saying it wouldn't fit a 1997 celica. Its for newer cars with phantom aerial's. Cause this was the one i was gunna buy.
-
Just read the link you posted, silver, and im a dickhead. Everytime I've been arming the alarm, I've been double pressing the button thinking it was a more secure lock. But now I've learnt that double pressing it, deactivates the interior protection. Well from now on im only gunna press it once. Cheers for the link dude.
-
Hey guys. I've got a multimetre So ill check it over the weekend. I think ill choco block it into the ignition live just to be safe. I've got to get a booster yet. All the one's i found on ebay for less than a tenner, didn't do one for my car. They were all for newer cars. Might pop to halfords and see if they got one.
-
Only reason I'll do the choco block is cause i got loads of them on the van. But aint got a scotch lok. So your saying the black could be the ignition and not the yellow? I thought it was either the red or the yellow. One power and one ignition.
-
Oh ok. I was also thinking a choco block. But i suppose the skotch lok is safer. Lol.
-
I think its yellow on mine. And the red is the ignition live. Right can someone talk us through how to do it. If i was to tap into the power for the headunit, how do i do it cause the yellow has a male and female, but they're connected together So there's no room to stick the connector from the booster. How do i tap into it?
-
What colour is the power supply to the headunit dude?
-
Nice one dude. Cheers mate. Ill check out the link.
-
Oh Yeah. Good thinking batman. Ill try wiring it into there.
-
Hey guys. Can someone tell me where i can find a 12v supply near the headunit inside the dash? I need to tap an aerial booster into it.
How about the power wire running to the headunit? Can i tap it into that? If i can, which colour wire is the power? Lol.
-
Oh ok. Wicked. And the gen 6 1997 GT definitley has this system as standard? Thats quite cool man. I feel more relaxed now.
-
Ooooohhhhhhh. I see. So how will that pick up if anyone's inside the car without opening the door or boot? I thought there would have to be a sensor inside the car that set the alarm off when it detected someone inside it.
How does this sensor work then if its hidden dude?
-
Right i've had a look at that diagram you sent to my email, planc, and where the diagram says the sensor should be, there's nothing. I've got my handbrake next to the drivers seat, then an ash tray next to that and behind them both is the junk compartment. Here's a picture to show you.
Was the diagram definitley for a gen 6 1997 GT?
And once again i gotta use photobucket cause it its too big to upload.

Can someone please tell me if there is definitely a sensor inside the car that sets the alarm off if a window breaks or someone's arm comes through an open window.
-
Planc, can ya email me that diagram you mentioned? Just So i know where this sensor is. So the gen 6 facelift GT definitely comes with an internal sensor for the alarm which covers windows being smashed. I suppose there's one way i can find out. Ill leave the widow half down, arm the alarm, wait a minute and stick my arm into the car. And Hope it goes off.
-
So is it the block that has a red light that flashes when the alarm is armed Cause i can see that which is near the handbrake. But i thought that was just a light to say the alarm is armed. So is that the sensor? I tried sending you a pm from my phone but for some reason the link don't work from my phone cause its crap. Lol. So my email address is scorps1212@sky.com. Cheers dude. And no, i wasn't aware i could programme more remotes into it. So i can buy just a remove with funky buttons on and get it programmed to my alarm system?
-
Oh right. Mines the facelift model then. Mine's 1997.
Right i've taken pictures of the dash to show you guys. I can't see a sensor anywhere on the dash. The pictures probably won't load up so i'll have to paste the links to photobucket. LOL.

In one of the pictures im pointing at a circle bit on the drivers side so don't know if thats it. And in another picture im pointing at the LED that flashes to let people know there's an alarm in the car. But thats all i can see. I cant see any sensors guys.
