Replacement drop links to be fitted next week when my lowering springs go on

[Brake disc protective coating]

Just buy the plain ones and give the hub part of the disc a coat of high temp paint before you fit them, ten you can choose what colour you want as for hoses I would go for number 18 which looks like a standard stainless finish but each to their own, discs are so small and calipers not especially exciting so I just did mine black more for protection than to stand out (black engine enamel I had in the garage). If they were proper 4/6 pot calipers and decent discs that would be a different matter.

My Eibach lowering springs arrived yesterday, ordered last week from Amazon (MW Motorsports in Germany was the supplier) £152 plus £19 P&P arrived in less than a week and cheapest I have found anywhere. Hopefully get them fitted this weekend and then my spacers when they arrive!

[Centre caps]

What I had not realized when buying the stickers from Skewer was that you could get different colours, I just bought what I thought were standard TS stickers, however someone on here put me right and to be honest it is obvious.

The standard center cap stickers on a TS should have a silver T and silver lettering (same as the rear badge) I ordered without checking and got white T and white lettering, now I have no problems and think they look spot on but if you want originality then please check before you order.

The Skewer items were spot on though really great quality just be careful when cutting them out and make sure you clean up the old center caps really well and use plenty on thin coats of lacquer to cover them.

the cover looks good but where does the two screws bolt to ?

I would have thought those threaded rods replaced two of the coil bolts and then the cover fixes to them, seen one of those fitted and it is a really nice fit to the cam cover, I actually think it fits better than the aftermarket ones from the US that cost a fortune.

[Centre caps]

Unfortunately you can't get them anymore I believe, if you are missing them completely you may have to buy generic replacements and then get some stickers from here to fit on. If you already have the centers then again you can get stickers from this club for around £9 for five and refurbish your existing ones.

[tyre dealer]

I had Toyo T1Rs on my 944S2 and also Toyo T1sports both were brilliant in the dry, mind you they were very wide on the rears 255s, but not so good in the wet OK but had to be careful, I laso had Uniroyal Rainsport 2s at the time and they were fantastic in the dry and wet although a bit more expensive than the Toyos, they do last longer. Toyos I got around 12kmiles from the rears and 14Kmiles from the front, Uniroyals were still on when I sold her with 5Kmiles on and still looked like new. Uniroyals seem to have a deeper tread around 9mm when the Toyos had closer to 7mm when new.

[Pricey clips]

The standard ones just require you to push the center rivet in then lift up the outer ring, the real problem I found was the rivet would drop right through or the whole item would pop up and fall into the engine bay, lost forever. That's why I bought the replacement ones which have no center rivet just prise up the top piece and lift out, like I said earlier £2.95 free postage from ebay for 10.

Arrived while I was out of the country my club stickers and club card.

Washed the car last evening cleaned and dried the window and tried to fit my sticker, good job I only tried one side as the lettering would not stick to the glass even though it was dry and clean, well one letter did the rest came off on the backing tape, so now it says www.celica- lub.co.uk and the only letter that stuck was the c from club. put the sticker back on the paper and decided a waste of time and breath so gave up after a few attempts. Must have been doing it wrong but can't for the life of me see how hard it could be to fit some stickers and yes I have seen the guide on this and followed it although the pictures no longer are linked I could work out the process from the words.

Car can remain anonymous as now only have one sticker unused and one useless one.

[Pricey clips]

I bought these from ebay £2.95 for 10 not identical to the originals but fit great and are less likely to disappear into the engine bay, I just bought two sets and replaced all of mine holding the under bonnet covers in place.

Yes I thought I had the wrong mats in mine as the holes were a long way off but obviously not.

buy an oem celica set?

When I was in my local Toyota parts dept last weekend I asked for the price of replacement lights for my TSport the guy asked me is yours the Halogen or HID lamps obviously mine are halogen but I took it to mean you could still buy the Jap import HID lights, didn't dare ask how much though, halogens were £145 each including club discount.

[What came in the Post Today?]

Just had me a set of them^^^^ Cheers for the link bud

Well the good news is they are still holding in place and haven't snapped so well worth the £2 might even get another pair for spares.

Ebay link £2.00 free postage and really good fit with standard mats and they haven't snapped yet, mind you only driven 10 miles to work so plenty of time yet.

Arrived today £2 from ebay replacement car mat fixings to replace the bits of bent wire the previous owner thought was OK.

[What came in the Post Today?]

Forgot to add the scan of the parts diagram he gave me quite useful for those bits you can't describe correctly.

Part to hold the grill in place and under tray to the splitter was 90109-06003 (4off)

[What came in the Post Today?]

Not in the post but equally surprising, called into my local Toyota parts department on Saturday and asked if they had the four steel clips that hold the front splitter to the under tray and also mount the lower grill, surprise yes the guy knew what I was on about, gave me a print out of the parts listing for bumper arrangement and had them on the shelf (well the three I needed anyway) £4.10.
