  1. I'd happily pay 4k tbh it's about supply and demand good ones will fetch a premium whatever the car
  2. I agree here baz I went on a Road trip up to Dundee for some rare parts for my starlet in the celica 140 and put v power in for a change and got 40 more miles on the tank
  3. Wow that's some quality work I may use these for my starlet resto
  4. Looks bang on in that pic mate good to see People still posting on here
  5. Celica went in for its MOT today along with oil and filter and passed not a single advisory not bad for almost 17 years old current mileage 63,700 tester said one of the cleanest he's ever seen and can tell its been garaged most of its life so yeah pretty chuffed gonna enjoy my last few months with it till my starlet SR restoration is finished before its up for sale the tester hounds me to sell it him every year he's relentless and some random bloke left his number seeing it up on ramps, il miss the the thing when it's gone 7 years trouble free
  6. If I had a double garage it wouldn't be going anywhere
  7. thanks ive a lot of memories tied up with that car cant bring myself to let it just sit on drive anymore
  8. Hi all need some honest advice ive owned my celica 6 years its been a absolute pleasure truth is i never use it now its sat on 62,000 i think i dont wanna sell it but we have 4 cars ones got to go its immaculate and when i say immaculate it really is i spent a lot of money on the underside not to hide corrosion but to prevent it its a red edition only mods is lowered for aesthetic reasons this clubs been fanastic but this year will be my last as im restoring my starlet SR my first car i bought 20 years ago that i never sold i know my celica isnt never gonna be worth thousands and thousands but it a genuine 2 owner car that really is better than most whats it worth? im aware you can get one for 1200 quid but this one really is a cut above full history inc reciepts serviced every year average of 3500 miles .........so what should i ask il chuck a pic of the starlet in to show how much i care for my cars expense is NEVER a issue its 22 years old
  9. Absolutely relate to this when I get in my 2012 plate astravan it feels so much older than my 2004 celica and my starlet feels 20 years older but it only 5
  10. ive had this done all surface rust was ground off cleaned up then primed up to stop it coming back then dinatrol applied also had all crossmembers and doors filled wasn't cheap at 500 quid though jr classics did it near Doncaster
  11. Nice one Result!! Was always quietly confident
  12. I'd measure how far back the tip of the exhaust is from the back of the tyre then on the front I'd measure the tip of the bumper to the front tyre if the rear is less it should clear the rear the front may catch going forward though you won't know this until you try, I feel your pain I've always had low cars and found sometimes going on a different way will clear my starlet is a lot lower than the celica but always clears slopes like your driveway as the bumpers are shorter but the chassis scrapes everywhere, as the celica clears most speed humps etc but driveways slopes always etc seem catch cos of bumper lengths it's hard to explain, go out side and try I'm intrigued now
  13. It's to do with the wheelbase and bumper lengths aswell mate
  14. Missed that try going in forwards then you never know, I have to go on a angle on mine as not to scrape the sills as my drive go's up then down, car is lowered 35mm
  15. Try reversing in as the bumper is higher at the rear and by the time the front is at the kerb the back wheels will be in the garage and starting to pull the front up
  16. i had one k20 was great fun had lots of issues with suspension components though always little things constantly failing but my mates had none with his luck of the draw i suppose
  17. only one thing to do in this situation its time to get rid but next time research the car your buying have a lengthy test drive to find a comfy position , like mentioned earlier lemons are lemons, I've owned 6 Toyota's and had trouble with none of them shame you got a bad one
  18. This. This has made my decision - I didn't think what would happen if I scraped it on the track! That was the beauty of having a cheap MX5 is that, if I bumped it, I could fix it on the cheap. I'd be gutted if the Celica got damaged. Thanks Very true Looks like the MX-5 is the boy then! Thanks for all the help guys, hope you're all well? I miss coming here! Does it really matter if you not the fastest out there gerrain? as long as its fun that's the main thing over on ukstarlet owners a member tracks a 74bhp starlet Sr , keep it as cheap as possible for now , your old celica is way to clean for a track car ,understand the nostalgia thing I've still got my first car a starlet Sr 16 years I've owned it , least your father in law is keeping good care of it ......now go buy a mx5 !!!!
