Is it just Gen 7s that suffer badly from this or is it all Gens? In the warmer weather I often end up with alot of bug splatter on the front of my car after going down the b-roads and rural areas. Alot worse than I see it on my dad's Audi A4.

Ahhh, when I logged in earlier I clicked on the notification that CCL had quoted me, so it took me to her post instead of the first post, so I didn't see yours until now

Ask Cravo on here. He replaced his GT springs with Eibach progressives, and commented on how much more comfortable they were.
-
TTE GT springs are linear, and AFAIK, are an Eibach product themselves.

My NGK iridiums were about £23 off of eBay.
-
I fitted NGK iridiums in my 140 just after new year, and ever since, have felt a slight extra perk in acceleration if I use Shell regular fuel. It's nothing to write home about, but something is definitely there. I never got that when I was still on my old copper plugs.

My third membership card and letter. Felt strange not feeling a pen in the envelope, lol.

Been using Sainsbury's fuel last couple of fill ups. Seem to get more for the money, and the car runs just as good as Shell regular, so I'm not complaining.

Mines a 140 so whats the best to put in her?. I get her back in a couple of weeks, then bye bye Fabia and hello Celica.
From my experience:
Shell regular and Sainsburys regular: mine likes these the best. Not much difference between them, although Shell may just take the lead. I seem to get a tiny "kick" when putting my foot down with Shell.
BP Ultimate, Tesco 99, and Sainsburys super unleaded: mine runs great on all of these. No "kick" though, and they don't last as long as the regular fuels.
Shell V-Power and BP regular: mine gets down V-Power like there's no tomorrow, plus I don't get the kick like the Regular Shell fuel. I do put the odd tank in for the cleaning additives though. When I put BP normal fuel in, my idle went down all of a sudden for a few seconds, to the point where the car sounded like it was going to cut out. Put Shell back in after and it ran like a dream again.
I can't comment on them myself, but some have said avoid Asda and Morrisons fuel. Many have said Asda fuel makes their cars run like crap (Celicas and non-Celicas).

May be different being a 140, but mine runs better on Shell regular than V-Power.

Definitely, the US sell-ika is wrong, as evidenced by their pronunciation of MX5 as Miata
.
Or their pronunciation of "racecar" as "Honda Civic".

Pretty sure somebody from Toyota confirmed it's pronounced "ce-leek-a". That's how I've always said it.

There's not really much point having them straightened. They're very soft alloys, and buckle quite easily. You'd likely be paying to have them fixed, only for them to bend again, especially with how bad the roads are nowadays. Both of my rear wheels were flatspotted and wouldn't hold air for very long, so I bought some different, stronger alloys instead.

As above, +1 for flickr.

Tractors don't require an MOT to be driven on the road. So could be some really old tractors driving about with dangerous mechanical faults for all we know. Saying that, I've never actually seen a tractor broken down on the side of the road.

Well there was an article on various motoring sites back in the March, saying that Toyota are planning a 3-car sports line-up. The GT86, the new Supra, and possibly, even a new MR2. There's been no updates since then however, but I'm hoping we will get to hear something pretty soon.

Sorry dude, didn't want to come across as insensitive. I did a similar thing a couple of years back. Tried to park between 2 cars in a Sainsburys car park and caught my near side door on the rear bumper of a mini. Had a lot of scratches to polish out the next day.

Assuming from the description that was self-inflicted?

Rotated my wheels around diagonally to prevent early tyre wear. Should be good for another 6-7000 miles now.

Nearly £40 a side for a strut boot, could get them for about £22 at the time from TCB parts.
Apparently a genuine TRD spoiler (unpainted) was somewhere around £1200 only a couple of years ago..
On the plus I got a free sump plug washer from them last December
-
The amount we had to drill open the holes in the boot to fit my second TRD spoiler... Still doesn't it flush lol.
Post your CELICA pic of the day:ONE PIC PER PERSON PER DAY PLEASE!
