Did mine as we had some funshine...

When buying a car if your ever in doubt, walk away...

Give me £7k and you can have mine with the wheels, suspension and all the other bits!

@modified8 - quite a large following too

Reckon there'll be some decent jap car stores I could maybe pick up a couple of mods from?

Most of the US car stores I've been to over there are a bit poor... but I'm sure there's one or two tuning places about, any on google?

Price please for passenger door glass? If it's not scratched or marked...

For me, and I detail day in, day out for a living but the megiuars gel is awesome value for money.

Any side on pics of the spoiler you could send to me please? Thanks.

Very common on 350's sadly... Mine had a few bubbles which I had treated, but it's very disheartening when it's your own car as has been said though, cut the rot out and weld in new metal it's the only way really.

Rays over standards easily, lovely looking wheels! I've got a set on eBay but bugger me don't people ask stupid questions lol.

Hi, I'm in Cornwall/Devon so firstly hello to a local member lol, secondly the price seems way too much for the first one! The two others aren't as bad though. The warranties are usually rubbish from lesser big name dealers tbh, but something's better than nothing even though somewhere they'll be including this in the price. If you need any advice or anything with local ones let me know

Yeah, pm me a price please and availability for some 25mm ones please.

So what's people thoughts on the current box, got to say personally this ones not very good IMO. Wax aside, the tyre shine isn't shiny and the shampoo isn't foamy enough

The earlier 350's have better low down and mid range torque, the later ones and the 370's should have a more balanced and smoother torque curve, are you sure yours is running as it should? Did the Celica have any variable valve timing or come onto cam higher in the rev range maybe? Getting any car remapped would be beneficial over a factory map IF done by a decent tuner...

does it rub at all?

 

What the final offset now +7

 

and what tyre sizes is on there

No rubbing at all on apex lowering springs, full lock is fine too. Tyre size is 245/35/18

Offset now is ET12 with 3mm spacer = ET9

can you get a me a image of how the front wheels poke ?

Here you go...

I don't have any others I'm afraid although on my car thread there's more, I need to take some as my rear overfenders are fitted now

 

They are anthracite centres & polished lips. Hope yours isn't a silver zed lol.

 

No mines black

lol, thats alright then... My car doesn't want a twin

Also, I know of genuine people (not being sexist here) but they are girls who have bought cars because they're nice looking, and don't even realise they are modified. Unless the seller tells them or a friend like I did to them, they wouldn't have a clue! :/ I think it's about time that people were insured, not the vehicles themselves (like in the US).

Also, dealers sometimes do their own options, I work for Nissan in a Plymouth and know for a fact they have a special deal with wolfrace wheels and fit these to cars where as 99.9% of new owners wouldn't have declared these... The buyer as far as they are concerned just presume it's a standard upgrade if they aren't clued up.

When I get my car back I'll be polishing my hand!

 

You'll be better off polishing your car rather than your hand.

Beat me to it lol...

I run 9.5 fronts et12 with a 3mm spacer so et9 really, they do poke out the arch slightly (wheel not tyre) but that's the look I wanted, an extra 9mm should still look okay as long as they fit with the spacers. Also I'd check you have enough thread with the 5mm spacer you were considering as that may be your only issue, but should in theory be okay,

Never use a blade to dry a car, why people use a hard (compared to a chamois) object to dry a car I'll never know, I've spent countless hours rectifying drying blade "scratches"! I wouldn't normally recommend using it but try some colour magic polish on it, it may help if not a machine polish on top should get most of it out, shouldn't be too deep as could only have been grit or light dirt.

Clay bar will get it off once it's warmed up with warm water... failing that, some autoglym tar & glue remover is safe on paintwork but may break down whatever it is.

Agreed, if it's new, or even new to you they're obliged to sort it, as it wasn't how the car was sold to you prior to collection. Worth asking the question in any case...

It may be grease, I get that a lot in work I do (I'm a detailer), best thing for the exterior is to wash it with warm water and then clay bar it or use some iron-x or fallout remover then re wash and use a clay bar and lube on it. Can you take some pics of it? Engine wise it may not be as accessible so a good de greaser should shift it...
