Came across this on Honest John
Selected the Celica section as this is a Celica forum, but you can drill down and see what the good and bad point are for cars when it comes to the MOT

Keep thinking of doing a sleeper project myself.
Thinking something that's got free VED so something pre 1975 as that means I'm not giving the government loads of VED tax for a few thousand miles a year. Currently thinking the old crap Austin Morris 1100/1300 with whatever I can shoehorn in under the front, say a VTEC for instance. Has to remain stock looking as possible though
Via Ebay a Pressure Bleeder for brake fluid that'll work on Gen 7's which are a pain because of the stupid non screw on reservoir cap
Worked a treat this morning
DEI in the US doing an inlet charge cooling system using CO2, but given you need to then cart around a bottle of CO2 in the car which then adds to the weight of the car so seems counterproductive.

Hi , I have the grey Leather & Alcantara seats in my Gen 7 GT, on the drivers seat it's a little bit matted (If that's the correct term) from having my arse sat on it every day.
Any recommendations on how to get the Alcantara in the seat base back to looking nice again, guessing some sort of suede brush / nubuck brush?
Thanks
Guy
Haven't had reason to use it myself but my mate who is spending A LOT money of building a 1956 Ford F100 hotrod uses this Plastic Padding Ultima for when he wants a really good top surface to apply paint too

Got a gen 7 GT,
The doors being so long can be bit of a pain in the arse at times when you are in the underwidth parking bays you often find everwhere.
The 6 speed box , 6th could do with being at tad taller in ratio, and it is a bit on notchy side.
Shame it didn't come a sequential 6 speed box where you could just tug back on the lever.
Guess the Quaife 6 speed http://quaife.co.uk/shop/products/qke9e for the Exige would fit but price inc VAT is about as much as mine is worth
Used to use these guys down by the football ground in Faraday Road, they had often had other stuff in as well as Scoobs. Always did a good job in the 6 years I had my impreza. Got rolling road as well

To close the gap between the underside of the knob and the top of the gaiter bezel . I removed the gear lever surround slid one these cable grommets onto the shifter shift then put the gaiter and surround back on, which moved the gaiter bezel a few mm upwards
Hi I got it from these folk in Canada, had to pay extra as mentioned above because of the import duty etc, Still was cheaper than going to Toyota though. Took about 10 days to arrive

Yep that's where I got it from.
Had to pay import charges, and the Post Offices "Handling Fee". Not sure what handling was involved, as it was the same depot I go to for parcels from the UK and I don't pay a fee. Perhaps should be worded Post Office Directors annual bonus fee. They added about £16 to the cost GRRR! Still cheaper cheaper than on from Mr T in the UK though :-)
Was not to keen on the alloy ring next to the chrome ring on the gaiter. so the chrome gaiter is now black using insulating tape :-) , The gap between the knob and the gaiter was closed by putting a rubber washer under the gaitor cover
The original 6 speed knob in my GT was looking a bit tatty, looked like the last owner wore the chrome off the insert using their wedding ring. Today I got this TRD GT86 knob from Canada. Screws straight on to the existing lever. There is about 3mm gap between the bottom of the knob and the chrome top of the gaiter. which you can adjust out.
