    Posted

    Civics look bland, and the new civic looks like a futuristic car, almost a concept. Now the integra type r.. Now that ill have!

    Oh and I beat a type r last month but I've got stage two cams and was shout "LIFT YO" out the window. May have disrupted his gear changing

    aaah, the problem with spotting fellow CCUK members while not in a celica!! haha. 'minx drives a nicely modded red Yaris now, but once upon a time had one of the sweetest looking gen7's around :thumbs:

    i get funny looks trying to wave at celicas when in the Evo, or vise versa! haha :lol:

    Oh yeah he would've been in his red yaris. I always notice celicas. I would have definitely notice him if he was in his amazing celica!

    If I saw you in your evo, I'd make sure i get real close. It's just something I do whenever I see a nice car lol. I appreciate the beauty up close.

    Thanks guys, planning on spacing em out and short shifting it. But woke up to find this

    81EB36CF-49E9-40E8-8A83-C3D1C8A05E66.jpg

    Parked the car with the back facing outwards (don't usually do this), came back in the morning to that :(

    Wd40'd and sprayed a lil laquer as a temp. Need to find a good body shop. It hurts. I don't wanna driver her no more. She's imperfect!!

    Car looks awesome buddy. So much love for the greddy lip!

    I just don't know if I could have it with the annoying amount of speed bumps I have to go over each day :( still not written off getting one just yet

    And as everyone else has said, great colour! :D

    Thanks bud, and my biggest problem is humps. I have to drive at 10mph over em. Life's hard enough being lowered, but the greddy lip makes it even harder especialy at night when one if them humps jumps out infront of me like a ninja.

    Can't mount curbs or steep driveways. I've scraped mine soo many times!! It hurts. But it's totally worth it for that mean azz front stance!

    maybe ok for some cars , I guess it depends on matrix internal sizes , but some people on here that have used it have had problems later on with blocked heater matrix. That is a pita to replace so really not worth the gamble in my view. If you change the rad out follow the bleeding instructions that are on a sticker on the underside of the bonnet otherwise you wont get rid of all the air in the system. Rad is a real easy job, did mine without having to remove bumper too . Allow 2 hours and you will do it easy inc the bleeding which can take 30 mins to do properly

    Thanks bro ill defo be doing this, I hope its not the water pump or matrix thats causing it.

    do not use K seal or any other sealer , it blocks the heater matrix and any other small water passages . You can replace the radiator , which is normally always the culprit when you cant find the leak , for less than £100 inc coolant. use a piece of white kitchen towel and gently wipe It along the cross member below the rad , see if you can see any colouring from the coolant

    Ill try that, if it ever stops raining. There's so many positive reviews for K seal, if I didn't ask you, if probably have bought it and messed up the matrix.

    Car looks great, nice to see another bright Gen 7 joining the fold. Those alloys need spacing out a bit to fill the arches. 15mm hubcentric spacers from H&R on the front and 22mm bolt on spacers on the rear from Freakyparts would finish the car off nicely ;)

    That's exactly what I was thinking but didn't know by how much, I thought 10mm would be enough for the back lol.

    great colour and sweet looking motor

    oh and if you are losing coolant it will almost certainly be the rad , mine was doing it for months before it finally went , very hard to see a leak as you can only see rad from engine bay , looking from front of the car is the ac condenser which hides the rad

    Ye I've been looking for leaks but found none. I've been driving it alot recently so ill check the water level when it cools down to see how much I've lost. Also have you heard or tried using K Seal?

    very nice mate , so he never told you it had stage two cams ?

    is this your first celica too , i know when i got my tsport it felt like a car ive never had before but surely stage 2 cams would of been a heck of a difference.does look really nice and very similar to adams 417bhp beast but hey we all do same things most of us on here so why not its your car at the end of the day :)

    welcome to the site mate

    I had a 140 before and this was my first time in a 190 so I was blown away. After doing 0 to 60 mph test though I realised something was fishy. I just blamed the extra speed on the custom exhaust and my super professional gear changing :) (not really, I was lying to myself)

    COBBLERS!!!!

    How you doing????

    Relieved to hear car still running and you still have licence :thumbs: .

    Now you can't say I didn't warn you to be cautious over it's history. lol

    But if it was running right and the price was right wtf! eh?

    as for leg end? only in my own lunchbox mate! ;)

    :wttc:

    Everything went well Ian, you can understand my relief of reaching home after travelling 6 hours on the coach followed by 230 miles on a new car which may have a hidden problem, my paranoia was all over the place. One single weird noise and my heart would sink. But nothing of that sort happened and I got myself a beauty.

    oh LOL, someone is being a sneaky Mofo. COBRO you should totally enquire about the car.

    Maybe it's from before he bought the car?

    The plot thickens! Lol thats my car.

    Although I bought it of a builder in the beggining of September, he knew nothing about the car, he told me he took it of a panel beater 6 months ago as payment for his work. I actually didn't know it had stage 2 cams?!?!
