Hi all,

Anyone have any experiences with rolling the lip on the rear guards of a Celica ST185?

Am looking at guard rolling at the rear as the panel beaters didn't do it prior to painting (amazingly annoying/frustrating I know *sigh).
In discussions with the local GT Four club, the view is that ...

Check catalogues at Ed's Autos http://www.edsauto.co.nz/pdfcatalogue.html
They are a supplier of mounting kits and accessories. Most local car audio shops are dealers for them, and you can deal with them direct as well.

I bought a 2007 Subaru Legacy 3.0R wagon in October after going through similar questions myself. Chose the Subaru because:
- Reasonably modern and up to date. Mine is facelift with full leather interior and McIntosh 11 speaker premium system.
- 3.0 with timing chain. This version of the 3.0L boxer ...

Motor Trend Ignition used to be good with Carlos Lago (now moved to Edmunds). Jessie and her stuff wasn't too bad until she got hurt bad in the Audi R8 crash. Roadkill is always awesome!

Used to watch a lot of /Drive when it was free on Youtube, but they have moved majority of content to Vimeo on ...

Best thing to do is call and ask questions, or book the car in for an evaluation and let them provide options / next steps.

How big are the rust repairs? I have talked with Sean @ Pacific Dent Removal with regards to a project I've just purchased which will need extensive rust repairs and like any job, an evaluation would need to be undertaken to establish if they can take on the job.

I am a little concerned with my ...

Recently had some prep/paint done at Pacific Dent removal down in Alicetown. Did a pretty decent job.

I used malt vinegar to remove rust from some small items. Wash off residue with water, dry then coat immediately with a primer of some sort.
Also, use washing up gloves to prevent skin contact with solution and some googles to prevent splashing into your eyes.

You still lookin Mark? Can't remember what Al pipe dia I have in the garage, but I ended up buying 3m for a .3m BOV recirculation haha.
Will check for you if I remember when I get home

More than likely the project is done after hours if their shop is working on customer cars during the day

Yes. Dual 6.5" Image Dynamics CXS component set was used at the time. Made a lot of noise, but the pods were very intrusive with legs. Pods built out of fibreglass, mdf, hot glue and screws..

Component speakers for cars are designed to work in free-air / open environments. Generally free-air design is actually large enclosure design, so applying that logic to a car door, we want to create a large enclosure which will allow the speaker to perform with more cone control, producing more ...

what year civic and what year corolla? Need to understand whether we are comparing apples and oranges here.

Old cars are generally tin boxes which need resonance reduced and doors turned into speaker boxes to get a reasonable output. I normally close up or minimise the door utility holes to turn ...

I thought it would be fine, but wasn't sure if the loop had to be behind the shaft to union weld joint or not. Cheers

Good morning all,

Looking for a little guidance

Blue lines indicate position relative to the centre of the joint.

Is the loop acceptable in this position as the flat bar and reinforcement plate would be against flat metal vs contoured (can't distinguish from pic sorry) and we have to avoid ...

i better give you a hand some time then
Should be in the nui tomorrow so can help remove the stud

you'll need to provide a location so we know where to direct you to a local shop or good bastard who will check it for you

Alarm will have a 0.05A draw or there abouts. Good thread here discussing current draw http://forums.toyspeed.org.nz/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=92673&p=955453&hilit=alarm+draw#p955453

The sealed lead acid shouldn't be an issue. I used to leave mine for a couple of weeks and it wasn't and issue, but it is ...

In my experience sealed batteries need to be run regularly. Had exide orbitals and optimas fail because they are not in constant use. You may have to look at a float charger to keep the battery happy. Do you also have a large stereo system? They can also introduce a parasitic draw on batteries

What is the size of the battery (cca) and how old is it? Yes there is a current draw from after market alarm systems, so expect the battery to drain slowly over time, but it shouldn't be an issue of the car is left for a week or two without driving. And when i say driving, i'm talking about a good ...
