New from rugby

Welcome to the site Aidan
Which gen celica is it?

Ahh awesome, a gen 7 I can help with Any bits you got in mind already? Any particular direction you wanna go?

Yeah you'll struggle with getting the TRD kit, best bet is to just keep an eye out on eBay or the Celica owners club (celica-club.co.uk) - they pop up maybe every few months if you know where to look. There is a bodyshop in Rugby that used to be based in Kenilworth, called Kenilworth Autobodies - I cant find their information now though. One of the Rugby lads should be along and let us know!
We have a bodyshop as a sponsor in Alcester but its quite far away from Rugby - its called Alcester Car Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2762253 ... 0/?fref=ts

Unfortunately theres not much you can do with these engines without spending serious money (or just getting the VVTLi), you've done the exhaust, an induction kit will give unnoticeable gains, ECU is locked down, all the lightened flywheels and so on cost a fair chunk. A good service will help massively if it hasnt been done in a while

With the extreme revs it could be a lot of things, I'd try checking the [url=http://www.celicahobby.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1862388016/site_id/1#import:2o7015d8]MAF sensor,[/url:2o7015d8] [url=http://www.celicahobby.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/364046/Idle-Air-Control-Valve-How-To-Properly-Clean.html:2o7015d8]IACV[/url:2o7015d8] on the throttle body, and a maybe even just a [url=http://www.celicahobby.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/267456/ECU-How-To-Reset.html:2o7015d8]ECU reset[/url:2o7015d8] in the slim hope its the exhaust change thats playing with it (maybe o2 sensor problem..)

If you need a help with anything just give us a shout (the member 'devnet' on here has a black celica too, hes pretty handy with them!) , the guides I linked tell you pretty much tell you everything though. NewCelica and CelicaHobby are good sites for guides, but the communities are american dominated so not a great place for general use, Celica-Club.co.uk is good but membership restricts you a bit

Check out my project log by the way: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.warwickshiremodified.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=20&amp;t=5896]viewtopic.php?f=20&amp;t=5896[/url]<!-- l -->

Yeah just be careful cleaning the MAF, did mine and it gave me problems but everyone else seemed to be OK after, new seems to be the best option but they're around £150
Where I mentioned the ECU reset its actually a link to the guide, its here - http://www.celicahobby.com/forums/ubbth ... Reset.html . Its just a case of pulling afew fuses out, or if youre not fussed with losing stereo settings etc then just disconect the battery for afew minutes (leave a window/door open incase of any locking issues)

To loosen the throttle cable just do the opposite to this guide - http://www.celicahobby.com/forums/ubbth ... ghten.html

Ive got a K&amp;N panel filter you can have for £15, brand new was only in for a couple of weeks. I got it to see if going back to the standard airbox reduced heat soak, and it did by about 15-20c generally, but I just preferred the sound of my induction kit so will sort a cold air feed instead

Matts number (previously Kenilworth Autobodies) is 07764853752
I dont think he advertises much as the last I heard he does insurance jobs mainly
Cant say I remember anything anything about Sunauto, but their Facebook page seems to have good feedback - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sunautos ... 0468408805
