sheepy

I'm running Mintex on Mtec grooved and no problems or noise, the grooved is merely aesthetic really as I don't do any track use. I won't go for dimpled as they're primarily for heavy breaking to help cool down the discs. As I won't be doing this they're technically just another weak point in the disc that has the possibility of cracking. I'm not saying this is likely but it's a possibility i'd rather not have.

I've ordered this to repair a scratch that's gone quite deep. Will update once the weathers warmed up a bit on how good it is. http://www.paints4u.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=6912

Wiper blades that arrived in the biggest box they could find.

Oil and filter from opie and HID kit.

Either that or it's just to get a good close up

Some stickers for my gear stick courtesy of Slugster and a new aux belt to stop that annoying squeaking.

I'll keep an eye out, I haven't seen many storm blue's being broken lately. This will be the easiest option cheers. I think I'll something like this for the time being. Can't hurt until I get a new mirror it'll be good to have a spare lying around

I think Opie oils sell some of that stuff. Let me know if you give it a try.

I'll give that one a miss then.

I've got a few scratches from doors and stones, only a couple of chips on the front wing. Can anyone recommend any good products like chippex or t-cut? I scraped the wing mirror on the garage wall last night and i'm not sure how to go about re painting it especially with that part being plastic. Also to make things trickier it's storm blue. Any advice guys?

Ah okay, i'll leave it for the time being until I clean the MAF, thanks for that info and cheers for the link.

I've been using v-power for quite awhile now (also triple points at the moment), I did notice an improvement but I never reset my ECU. What would this actually do and since it's been awhile of using v-power is it still worth doing. My MPG is dreadful lately, i'm going to look at cleaning the MAF sensor. Would resetting the ECU also help and is this done just by removing the battery cables for it to reset?

I didn't notice much difference in mpg when switching to high octane.. actually it was worse but I think that was due to using considerably more lift than usual on those trips (Snake pass on way to Sheffield, glorious road). The feel in the engine is noticeable however. It's been running a hell of a lot smoother since topping up with v-power.

My friends parents used to own one back around 1999, I loved the shape and the look and said from then on that one day I will own one. I passed my test a year and a half ago, had a Skoda Felicia (cheap car, cheap insurance) which quickly died on my (head gasket). Next car i stepped it up a notch with a 2000 Meganne sports alize coupe, looked really nice, fell apart on me and cost me a fortune to get fixed. Realised that I needed to invest more money to get a car that wasn't gonna cost me a fortune in repairs. I didnt want to go down the boring hatchback route. Then I remembered about the celica, I just assumed they'd be out of my price range but since I was investing a bit more I had a ganders at the price range.....perfect. Fun car to drive / reliable / low mileage. I managed to get a t-sport 2005 model with 52k on the clock, been driving for a few weeks now and the smile hasnt left my face.
