  1. I'd have another in a heart beat only mechanical failure I had was rear washer pump motor in 5 years ,8.4 0-60 is a load of lies as well Toyotas marketing bigwigs didn't want the Celica to be no faster on paper
  2. Fair enough I'm over 30 so insurance not a issue anymore it was about the same , but Honda was not as reliable and caused unwanted attention both owned same amount of time and milage, my Celica is dearer to insure than both id have a fn2 type r though
  3. I've had both a ep3 and a t sport both had pros and cons but I wouldn't have another ep3 but would have another t sport in a heartbeat even though its seen as the lesser car
  4. Lowering my corolla t sport was the best thing I did I cant understand why Toyota leave suspension so high on their sporty models ,do it you genuinely wont regret it on the t sport
  5. I'm 34 so that explains it,we've all been there mate I'm sure it will drop at renewal when I was insuring my sr at 19 I can remember it being expensive aswell ,your car looks great leave as is now and enjoy it fair play to you as most people at your age want a white vag diesel on finance 👍
  6. That's insane nearly 100 a month mines 20 quid ,how old are you if you dont mind me asking I'm a Sheffield post code aswell and that includes business cover ,I can't understand it worst offenders in my experience seem to be hastings for hiking up policy prices when changing cars, brokers like sky,greenlight,etc seem the way to go
  7. Immaculate is not having creases in body work imo ,still nice though but not at that money
  8. Ive ran two of the above tyres paradas shocking replaced them with evergreen tyres before I needed to which I actually preferred, and t1rs not bad tyres at all a little noisy maybe of the two I prefered the toyos but I ran neither on the starlet
  9. I have fondmetals on my Celica they are a really soft alloy
  10. That is a very very good advice right there this guys got his head screwed on when I wanted a glanza at 20 and couldn't insure one Legally I bought a sr instead just not worth the risk
  11. As I said before love this motor ,ive a rare option in mine factory air con not seen another sr with it
  12. Yeah I live close by meadowhall 10 mins away can't stand the place got my starlet from pentagon toyota down the road its burrows toyota now though , lovely colour green is that one of my fave na's on here
  13. Looks stunning as it is perfect balance imo ,meadow hall looked quiet today for the photo shoot !
  14. Have you seen the 220bhp accord euro r jdm import ?? Mine steamed up I changed the pollen filter behind the glove box never steamed up after that id try that only 8 quid
  15. I had a corolla t sport and loved it had a civic type and never really bonded with it one of the few cars I was glad to see the back of it wasn't a bad car just not for me ,my choice would be a corolla hands down ignore the 0-60 of 8.4 its a load of crap its same as Celica as a friend had one ,just lower 30 mm job done great cars only thing I bought was a wiper motor in 5 years and 65,000 miles
  16. Hi I also know who you are on ccuk I recently just became a full member a silver red edition , there seems to be a few ccuk members on here I own a starlet SR
  17. Looks great will look even better once springs are on kept seeing it on pistoheads not many around like that 3750 was a fair asking price i thought good buy
  18. Couldn't wait to get rid of my ep3 one if the few cars regret owning money pits in my experience much preferred the corolla t sport
  19. If I was ever to own a caldina it would look like yours the wheels look great plus they are Toyota oem keep it simple it looks fantastic and stands out from the norm
  20. Original Sony was terrible ive got a replacement sorted fitted it today old age car with new age technology now😂 still Sony though , when I bought the sr I wanted black ,white or silver in that order but now having silver hides a lot of age related marks
  21. Love a sr I have one in silver factory fitted aircon aswell ,today it let me down the original stereo gave up the ghost cant complain shame really loved the fact it was totally original except tte back box owned for it 16 years i bought from pentagon Toyota its still on the original number plates great great cars Il be keeping an eye on this thread
  22. I have a 140 red edition in silver that's lowered cannot fault it at all awesome handling good on fuel over 40 mpg on motorway is easily achievable just make sure its facelift its not really that underpowered for day to day driving still gets you to 62 in around 8.5 I had the 190 engine corolla t sport that was pretty swift to be fair,if I was after a cheap daily id look at a yaris Tsport
  23. Love this car what else can you get that's rare, turns heads, different and reliable for just over a grand keep up the good work
  24. I get some up I still have original photos from when I got it in my loft is it possible to upload them from my mobile ? To make things easier??
