  2. what needs doing to it?

    - radiator flush ( i might need a new one because its rusted and looses fluid)

    - new fuel filter

    - clutch adjustment and check

    - brake pads need checking properly

    - small oil leak behind rocker cover and possibly manual trans ( I cant tell exactly where its coming from)

    - check valves and hoses

    - clutch fluid bleed and change

    - Check gearbox (supercharger whine comes when in 2nd gear)

    - check all other components because I don't know service history ( bought it 4 weeks ago)

    What i have done so far:

    - Engine oil

    - Oil filter

    - Air filter

    - Spark plugs

    - Spark leads

    - Injector clean

    - wheel alignment and balance and rotate

    - battery

  3. Hi,

    My first car was a 1993 Ford Festiva WA

    It was the most fun car I have ever had. I got it for nothing from my sister as a gift.

    It was a white 5 speed manual and what i learned to drive in.

    A whopping 43Kw in a lunchbox with many memories. Top speed 150km/h even ground , 160km/h downhill and 80km/h uphill on F3

    13" wheels and $20p/w in fuel

    Easy as to work on and seated 5 and suddenly becomes lowered madd as.

    1.3L Carby was pretty fun.

    Later on I upgarded it to a luxury model.. i was given a cup holder

    Never had any problems.

    I removed the stock 4" rear speakers and put in Pioneer 6x9 in the rear lid. JVC deck.

    I ended up selling it for $500 quick sale to try and save money by using my gf's car and pay half of all costs to it.

    We worked close to each other and she lived at my place so it was ok until we broke up. So I bought a Celica at a car auction, i was pressured by the sales guy at first I thought I wouldn't like it but now I adore it.

    Check out my first car in my album

    Anyone else have a story to share?

    lol

  4. Just wondering whether to out and buy vented disc rotors for my 95 celica as my pads wear out pretty quickly

    My car has average quality brake pads and stock rotors. Would getting vented rotors reduce pad wear? Or would I be better off just using high grade pads and not bother changing rotors?

    I haven't taken out my pads yet to take a closer look because I only bought the car about a month ago and havn't had time to.

    Can anyone give me advice on this?

    When im in a rush im usually a heavy braker to and from work or tafe.

  6. Hi All,

    My name's Rob, just joined recently.

    Recently bought a 95 Celica and love it

    Born and raised in Sydney West. Macedonian decent and looking forward to TOC.

    Some short term goals are to bring my Celica to immaculate condition and add a few mods with the help of TOC.

    Cheers!
