that would make sense

i'll check tonight see whats what

thanks for the help

Kind of looks like this..

any idea what it is about and how much it's gonna cost me to fix... just bloody replaced the front superstrut bits



excuse my MS paint skills haha

Looking for a manifold/header to improve the performance slightly before i get the car mapped with an air/fuel controller. I can't find anything at all, its all for the damn ae111 and supra's etc.

can someone point me in the right direction?

just saw the price of them bit outta my price range unfortunately! 1750euro for the 16's.

anything else??

now they do look very very tasty....

anyone want to buy my reverbs??

I've got 17" axis reverbs on my celi at the minute but after just ordering a few parts at huge expense to replace some parts of the superstrut suspension i want to go down a size and lower the weight of each wheel so its less strain/pressure on the joints etc.

Finding my reverbs was a hassle in itself as over here (ireland) getting a 5x100 pattern is like finding a needle in a haystack.

So, does anyone have any idea what lightweight 16's are out there? I can't find anything i like and if you can can you post up a quick pic of the wheel?

i have an RSM on my car that wires into the ecu and cuts out the speed limiter and i'm going for a rolling road, bhp, torque and top speed run on the 7th of december so we'll see what she hits then but she is what she is, as long as she can overtake the car in front i'm happy

lower it, tint the windows, keep the original alloys if you like and just get them refurbished and sprayed a different colour to compliment the car a bit more. a lip kit or bumper extensions would be the business. As said above, TRD and SSIII are popular. Clear indicators and JDM rear lights and you'll have a nice sophisticated clean look

could be coilpack and plug leads!

stock skirts should have a few screws either end in the arches and underneath there is 5 or 6 bolts that you need to take off.

If you havent done it before its best just taking it to a bodyshop but you'll never learn yourself that way, so if it were me, i'd give it a go yourself first, just at taking off the stock and placing on the new one. If you don't feel comfortable at that stage then call it quits and go to a bodyshop.

is this the fella i'd be after so yeah??

I'd go with 17's aswell with a nice tyre on them. Once the car is lowered they'll look the business aswell! I've yet to drop mine on coilovers but when i do i think it'll all fall into place.

and yeah, those 2 selections you made would fit alright, the PCD is correct anyway. not sure of the offset though

yep, its a superstrut setup alright!

a figure 8? i'll do a bit of searching, see what i can find out.

thanks for the help!

up **** creek here

anyway, failed its car test on emissions(i've sourced a new cat already) and the ball joint and 2 CV boots. Seeing as how i have another cat and CV boots are easy i just needed the ball joint so I rang the motor factors up to get a ball joint sent down for an st202 jap celica and they sent down something that looks a little like this..

what i want though has a larger base plate and 2 of those ^ yokes on it. It is still a balljoint i'm after isnt it? Or am i asking for the wrong thing altogether?

sucks balls man, no accident is nice but even worse when it almost right off your car because of some prick not paying attention.

Hopefully you can get it fixed but the main thing is that ye are both ok!

cheers man, really appreciate the comments

you beauty

Thanks for the comments

the original crash bar i took off and replaced with 1/4" steel. Very sturdy and don't notice any difference in terms of the handling which i would have expected when not having the chassis legs attached. I sprayed it white to go with the car and although those pics show it up it is only because i was crouching down to take the picture. It really isnt noticeable when you are driving behind someone or looking at the car from standing view!

Thanks for all the positive feeback, much appreciated! If you have any other questions just let me know and i'll do what i can do answer them to the best of my knowledge

thanks fellas!

i got confused when i posted, wasnt sure which one to put it in but most replies going to that one

hairline crack in the rad doesnt sound too healthy! When you changed coolant, was it diluted to the correct temp or was it a pre mix?

may be the rotor arm in the distributor if that wasn't changed. they may have only changed the cap. If it bangs pops and farts on start up it might be that. Or might even be the ignition leads if they werent checked!

No stranger to accidents Fella ran a red light 3 weeks after i bought the car!, 2 other crashes as a passenger and 3 crashes on my motorbike just gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get on with it!

If it gets a little dent in the bumper itself then it could be filled but if the extensions get smashed to bits then i'll just have to drill out the rivets and do a rebuilding job! If the sideskirts get damaged bad enough that they'd have to come off i'd imagine the car would be a write off as panels and doors would be smashed in also! Small little knicks i can do with filler etc.

To be honest, didnt cost that much. I riveted them on then a bit of fibreglass filler followed by some fibreglass matting etc. The main thing is the time involved and to get it right! Took me and a mate ages to get it some bit decent! filling sanding filling etc. etc. I did it myself so i wasnt paying any labour but paying a spray shop to do it would cost a fair bit i would imagine due to the time involved in doing it. I had a lot of practise on my girlfriends civic. I needed something i could make mistakes on before i went at the celica

Thanks for showing the thread

excellent! a thousand thank yous

6th gen and previous celicas are mans cars, 7th gen is a pure hairdressers car!

Chick cars are ford ka, beetle, mini etc. anything that looks small and compact so it would fit in their handbag and easy to park

bad pic from my phone from a while ago, i need to give it a good clean
