  1. DIY Seat Stitch Dye

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted

    Gaitor looks great. Looking forward to the test on the seats stitching. Had a look at my steering wheel stitching and it looks black. I'd love to do it there too but not sure it would take. The stitching may have been the same as the seats at one time but the dirt and grimes turned it black.

    Think you are right.

    Funnily enough I looked at my seat threads and thought they may be a bit dark grey to show the dye...............However didn't test as weekend weather a washout :angry:

    But having accidentally won that ****ing ebay auction

    If you literally want to stand out (especially at night) use a highlighter pen lots of colour choice and very bright!

    On another note I have used black magic markers to cover up scuffs on a black car bumper, works well for a few months then just redo it.

    I have added a black permanent marker to the goody bag in case the clay session doesn't pick all the white bits out of the stone chips

    I think you would be best with a fresh chisel tip Baz to get more ink onto the stitch.

    Unfortunately I cannot test on gaitor.

    yeah i do like the samsung s4 , its been a great phone just not sure if the s5 is that much ahead or whether i should look into a xperia maybe hmm

    PM me an email address and I will send you full size files to view on your computer. Ok the processer size is piddly compared to a dslr and it hasn't the amazing zoom capacity of our Fuji's but it is just so damn convenient!

    Being a technophobe I just got a Sony compact because of the 21MP camera on it and son has the non compact version so he can show me how to work the ****ing thing! :lol:

    Compared to the camera on the Samsung S2 it replaced it is on another planet for overall sharpness and colour rendition. It is a pain that you only get the full 21mp on manual and 8mp in auto. All the recent pics on here are in auto and then further reduced by 50% to bring the file size far enough to post direct.

    This one for example is shrunk from £MB to 1.6 to let it post and then something in the blasted software that no one has ever explains wallops it down to 210kb. Whats all that about???

  23. Thinking of selling the T sport, how much?

    in General Celica Discussion

    Retail: £2,865

    The valuations quoted are prices you should aim to pay for a used car, not the advertised price. You should adjust your valuation to allow for extras that were not standard specification.

    Private Good: £2,225

    Private Average: £1,815

    Private Poor: £1,465

    Part Exchange: £1,995

    Trade: £1,854

    From wisebuyer guide assuming 03 plate. On the basis I was looking at 03s 2 years ago with 80k for 2500. I would say anything over 2k a

    bonus really, unless outstanding.

    Nice choice on replacement too. I was looking for the HOT variant but couldn't find a hatch back.

    Tyres for celica T-Sport

    in Consumable Parts

    Posted

    Hi and welcome.

    The gap is too big to fill with tyres alone. Some people put 18" wheels on but that slightly affects acceleration.

    Most use smaller suspension springs to reduce the ride height by 30-35mm.

    The standard tyre size for TSport wheels & Tech 5s is the same 205/45/17 although going for 215/45/17 is popular for additional comfort as well as gap filling

    This is mine on 30mm eibach springs & eagle F1 215/45/17 tyres.
