    Definitely not standard headlights, mines the same cheap aftermarket ones. So need to check the wiring and bulbs I’m afraid

    Daylight running wasn't a option on UK spec cars, guessing you have aftermarket lights which could be down to the installation, either to the side light or separate switch or not even wired in.

    Will have a red light on if passenger has not put seat belt on

    I hard wired a three way splitter off the back cigarette power. And put it by the fuse panel for easy access as not needed to unplug at any time. Most car gadgets come with a 12v to USB adapter anyway so just plug in. I run everything off that and just use the actual socket for phone if I need it

    Well, spent all my money on the celica again. Don’t know what it is about these cars but it’s worth it.

    I did the same, roof lining you can finger poke the wire all the way to the pillar. The pillar just pulls off, so easy to put the wire behind. easy enough to route it to the centre console with the glovebox out. and splice it behind the cigarette lighter. No wires on show and starts recording when starting the engine

    Small upgrade of my old sub still worked, just looked rubbish.

    It definitely takes a big strain on the engine, my old 140 it was my summer turbo button

    That was my first Celica 5 years ago I loved that colour.

    Well, my local garage chopped off them pesky drop links, a very slow drive home and finally was able to finish fitting my BC coil overs, gone for a small drop and very happy with the new look.

    Yeah get there early enough they may let me help

    That’s what I was hoping, as the newer ones have a option for a 14mm spanner behind but these are two old and is just smooth. Really annoying but booked it in to my local garage on Saturday to get up on a ramp to get a better angle to cut it off. Bugs me having to pay for it but I don’t want to damage my car.

    I can’t grind the nut off not enough access to it I’m sure I’ll cut something I shouldn’t I think it’s only possible with a proper lift ramp, just enough room for my socket too fit on as so close to the wishbone. I don’t trust my cheap jack stands enough to crawl under the car if I can help it.

    Tried taking the front drop links off so I can install my coilovers, given up wasted to much time on it. They have been drowned in wd40 for weeks wire brushed and still just spin now tried locking with a Allen key and just rounded it’s self not enough room for mole grips and the nut spliter I got just keeps falling off. I don’t want to grind it as at the bottom there is no room. Can’t believe I’ve been beaten by two 14mm nuts

    Changed mine last month didn’t look any better,

    Most go with Jap import size, 12 x 6 inch. But anything other than the standard number size plate is deemed illegal in the eyes of the police. Just depends how fussy your local plod are.

    Think, if its shiny it attracts them more. I suffer in the heat with black cars when not even moving. If I have cleaned and polished mine and left outside the stupid nats think its water and get a swarm land on the car instantly explode on contact as its hot and bake themselves to the car. It's so annoying, and takes flipping ages to get them off.
  18. VVTI
    Get them off eBay for like £8 as long as they have the right size letters in the correct font on UK size plate with who made them post code there is no legal issues whatsoever. No police will stop you for having a correct clear number plate

    Hi Ams of all knowledge of parts 

    Bit of advice needed, I’m after some fog lights brackets for my face lift gen 7 as mine are slowly rusting away. Is there any difference between face lift and pre face lift ones as I know that the position of the lights are different, just wondering if the brackets where different or just fitted in a different position?

    thanks in advance 

    Rich
