About £300 too much for something that looks like a Max Power accessory
-
Ebay price? With the issues stated I think 300 to 500 is realistic
-
Yea I'd just use a couple of pieces of wood. Free and easy. Unless you could apply for a dropped kerb?

That Meguirs stuff is really good. I use it to remove dried watermarks and shine up if the car gets caught in the rain or is dusty but not dirty enough to wash. Smells good too lol
-
I never use WD40 for anything anymore. Simply because the cans always seem to run out of propellant before the other contents have run out. GT85 seems alright, is cheap and has always worked ok for me. I haven't got time for data sheets and analysing the contents lol for tough stuff it gets used with a hammer and a blowtorch too

Need help with noise diagnosis - maybe CV Joint? : (
99GT replied to Crazy Cat Lady's question in General Celica Discussion
I've just got a mondeo for a daily driver. That's a 2005 but only got 65,000 miles on it. Rear passenger wheel bearing had gone on that. It's got steel wheels on at moment and when I took the wheel trim off that wheel it's got a really big dent in the rim. Part of me thinks that can't be a coincidence and probably didn't help! -
I used to have a couple of 2 stroke sports bikes. Love the smell!
-
Certainly does! But I can appreciate that as I'm like that myself sometimes. A top guy though. Now I know where he is, I'll be back for sure

Got a replacement air con pump fitted by Bek at the weekend and just thought I'd add he's a top guy and does really good work. Impressed. Even if he did say my cars a funny colour. Lol

Lacquer peel - any way to slow it down?
99GT replied to Cornish Lass's question in General Celica Discussion
The keys is good prep; getting the final primer flatted properly and finding a good paint shop to make up a good match paint using quality cans. U-POL is the clear lacquer I used, good stuff -

99GT replied to Cornish Lass's question in General Celica Discussion
I repainted my rear spoiler, the top half of both front wings and the corner of the bonnet due to lacquer peel. Cost me about £30 per section in materials, if that. Got a good finish from cans. The process is in my build thread with pictures too. -
You beat me to it! I was going to suggest that. Mine has a Toad AI606 fitted and kept going off when I first got it. I disabled the ultrasonics using the same method and it's been fine since.

Depending where it is exactly and how bad you can respray part panels with spraycans and get a good match if you do it properly and use good quality spraycans filled at a good paint supplier -
I don't see many gen 6s at all. I see the odd gen 5 still and a fair few ratty gen7s

Pic number 4 the large pipe just goes onto the bottom of the intake rubber if I'm thinking right
