Hey Hey...

Congratultions on the purchase.. Great car... It's a manual i hope?

You do realise you picked up one of the last celicas built as they cease production and no more will me made next year. You know what that means.. :D

I dunno where you can get a dashboard kit. I dont' even know what you mean by it. But the chances are, you'll need to get it custom made. Just about everything for the celica will be custom made if no possible to be bought from usa.

Plus the in-dash lights. You might need to get a custom made el gauge (unless you want the readings in Mph from usa) and then remove the dash yourself and soldier on different colour led.

WE WANT PICS!!!!!!

Congrats again...

Hey,

Thanks for the reply and yes it HAS to be a 6-speed, auto just wont satisfy me. As for pics i will post them up as soon as i can.

As for the 05 models, i thought they only stopped production for celica's in america but if mine was one of the last models made completely, den thats awesome! Nothing better than a collectors item

Good to hear from another blk celica owner

I'd love a drop but the thing is when i drive out of the basement parking @ work its really steep and i always have to angle my car and drive really slow. I've scraped it once already (very very tiny scratch, but i KNOW its there) and that really ****** me off since my cars not even lowered, so i guess lowering my car would be out of the question. Suks

Well im from melb and i got mine @ the dealers wen i bought my car. They also painted and fitted it for me. I paid $4500 for it which was apperantly half the price.... Might be alil pricey but it is under toyota warrenty and getting insurance on it didnt boost up my premium since it was done by toyota.

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      Check your fuel lines to the filter. The factory clamps are designed for quick removal but sometime come lose enough to allow air. I replaced all mine with 'worm drive' clamps.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
