That’s a lot to do by end of Feb timeline, coffee machine, heater and bed for your garage! Takes me that long to change brake pads this time of year, hate working on the car in the cold
Must be exciting though to know full strip and refresh

So very smooth

It seems from what Strongflex are advising you they do it slightly differently to Polybush. I have zoomed in on the picture below at the carrier on the far left and it definitely seems that the bush goes into the carrier with no metal sleeve.
Apologies, for some reason I took pictures of the bushes for the other arm but none for the carrier bushes before assembly but am 98% sure I didn’t sleeve that carrier
-
No problems
The sleeve in the top pic is the old one and the Polybush ones don’t need a sleeve from memory (apologies, was two years ago now).
For the bottom pic question the whole thing gets pressed out and the Polybush kit comes with new sleeve and centre as below...

Pics for reference as easier than words...
This is how the end you are talking about came out of mine:
And new fitted for reference:

Have a look at GT4 play, they do polybush (I got mine from there) and i think now does refurbed hangers with bush assembly complete. The Polybush kit I used came with all applicable new sleeves etc so I was able to junk mine as they really don’t like coming out easily
Like everything though I suppose access to proper equipment like a press would have been desirable
If I did it again I’d have bought the complete hanger from them as extra cost is worth it imo. For the other leg (assume you are doing both points where suspension arms fit to car) my neighbour assisted as he had big vice and we used that and a combo of suitable sized sockets to ‘press’ out

Maybe late to this discussion but if you don’t mind a narrow spacer I’ve got Japan Racing 17x8 on mine with I think ET33 and 10mm spacers all round. 225 45 tyres and no stretch

Whoops, sorry Dawn, watching Bake off at the same time so didn’t read properly so sorry for resend of last years
Can you let me know if you don’t get a 2018 pt4 email please, file size was a bit risky, sent ok from mine but may hit your inbox limits if your mailbox has a tight attachment limit

This is what I got for a 2005 T-Sport (so FL) for the pre cat sensor:
- 1 x DENSO Direct Fit Lambda Sensor - DOX-0273 - Oxygen / O2 - Genuine OE Part - Single

This is very much a
moment

I got one from Opie Oils. They supply OE Denso ones and not a bad price

I was concerned mine was heading a little ricey

Can I hazard a guess that these guys drive German cars?
They do, they really do lol How did you guess?

Couple of the guys at work call my car the kinder egg car as it looks so tiny because she's so much lower than all the other boring cars in the car park. Get many 'witty' comments about whether I ate the chocolate egg first before putting her together and did I read the instructions etc.

Ahhhhh that explains it, mine are both climate and I'm guessing Cravos were too...
-
The plug still does go in there though, like I mention I'm always putting a preface clock/console on my facelift when I fancy a change
I thought you meant the mounting itself was different I've just checked and my pre face lift console in the shed is def the same connector as your bottom pic and my facelift loom plugs into that?
-
Glad you said that Cravo, I did doubt myself as I posted but I was sure they did
I must admit when I did mine I have Sheps old preface console and my face lift so I tend to swap them around when I fancy a change so never actually put the face list clock in the pre and vice versa -
The facelift clocks are harder to do, red being the only colour that easy to achieve. I thought pre face lift clocks go into face lifts though? I'm sure the general consensus is if you want a colour other than red buy a preface lift clock and put in your FL? Check out the American Celica forums, they have a great thread on it
PS. Found the link

I've got a stock T-Sport back box if it's useful and Ams hasn't got one

Toyota keep trying to talk me into a GT86 when I go in for repairs, even took me out in an extended test drive and offered to match what I paid for mine from Toyota in 2013 so I'm guessing sales may be slow
I did quite like it but not enough to justify the 4-5 times extra cost of my Celica and the lack of back seat space really decides it for me. My partners TT is no good in the back so my Celica is the practical car for days out with the kids
What's happened to all the charged celicas ?

Yea mine is still mine and charged, just sitting in the garage atm as too busy with house moving stuff. Need to get that out the way as I have a long list of things to do and parts accumulating and piling up to fit. Think priority is sort out weird on throttle issue and an MOT
