Xanadu

First photo taken shortly after I bought it, and the second photo was taken a few years later after a BT van did an illegal turn in front of me. The car was written off.

Looks like a Celica ST.

I know that feeling, £23 for a fuel pump cushion.

I know why you said that.

I really am amazed at that. Anything over £13 usually has 20% VAT added, plus a Royal Mail handling charge of £8. I'm tempted to take the plunge and order some parts for the Gen' 5, now. Probably, Amayama Trading. https://www.amayama.com/en

Have you bought anything from UAE that didn't have VAT and Royal Mail handling charge added to it when it reached the UK? People tend to forget that when buying from abroad. Looks like that could be the case. Here's a price in euros from ToyoDIY.

There is one of those on eBay, now. Make sure you're sitting down before you click the link. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114821590244

You might find the part number and if they are available separately by visiting the site below. http://japan-parts.eu/

OMG, a total of £1,140 I hope that comes with a lifetime guarantee. Edit: I've just checked their website. "Your System/Part is warranted only to The Original Purchaser to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. No other warranty is given or otherwise implied and the use of the System/Part in a racing engine/car or any other environment is entirely at The Original Purchasers risk and undertaking."

It's a shame that they couldn't make the longer sections out of one piece of tube, rather than multiple short bits.

Most of the credit has to go to Paulus3476 who took the time to find this solution for all of us. Thanks, again, Paulus.

Yes, it's not "plug 'n' play", so you will have to remove the connector from the new replacement and use the old one that's on the car now. It was possibly done the same way when the last replacement was fitted, unless you were lucky enough to have matching male/female connectors.

Yes, near enough. "Castrol Red Rubber Grease is a medium consistency grease based on a vegetable oil and a synthetic gelling agent". Red Rubber Grease.pdf

Fit a new one from a Lexus. It will need slight modification to fit.

If the belt shows signs of cracking, it's time for a replacement. I think Blueprint source their parts from major OEM manufacturers, so either of the three you mentioned would be fine. https://www.daycogarage.com/catalogue/en-us?a=1

I'm just approaching 150,000.

You could try this company. http://www.biggred.co.uk/

A set of four axle stands will be needed if you want to support the front and rear at the same time. You can gain some extra height by placing your 380mm jack on top of some old bricks or timber that you might have laying around.

The Gen'5 fuel pump sits on a rubber cushion.

Klarius TY367X silencer for the ST182 Celica. eBay - £30.00 inc' delivery (new old stock)... What a bargain !

It's an on/off situation over the last three years. I had a collection of repairs to do on the car and while it sits waiting for me to fix them the car becomes a piece of 'recreational equipment' for the kids to play on. When I complained to their parents the answer I got from them was "well, you're not using it...", the second time I complained the answer I got was more direct - "F*** Off !"

Yes, by a boy of similar age to your neighbours - 8/9 year old. It started off as "mysterious" then I realised the damage began shortly after the new neighbours moved in. The list so far... Both headlight washers jets broken off. Countless scuffs and scratches on the bonnet due to him using it as a slide. Lefthand sidelight broken. Drivers door lock blocked up with a piece of wood (twig). Front reg' plate pulled off. Him and his friends seen sitting on the roof of the car. All done while the car was in a communal parking area.

A fabulous JDM keyring from AliExpress - £1.26 inc' p&p. 12.5cm x 3.0cm. Embroidered with the same logo / design on reverse side.
