Good stuff with the eibachs steve, how much did you pay for them? Let us know how they ride

I always wanted to Clean the paint properly with a clay bar, but i didnt fully understand how the whole claying process worked and didnt want to ruin the paintwork! How long did it take you? Looking nice and shiny like it should do, iv gotta say im glad the car went to somone whos taking this much care with it! Nice work Steve!

Welcome to the forums, and well done getting the 1.9tdi in the arosa! Bet its pretty quick!

I paid the deposit on a celica now, it didnt feel that fast when i drove it, but i didnt want to give it too much beans on the test drive. Overall tho it felt great to drive, loved the position and the steering. I kept revving it too much when setting off because i havent driven a petrol car in over a year so that was really annoying, but im sure il stop that after an hour or so in it. Just waiting for the plate transfer off my Arosa now (which has been sold to steve tdi!) and then steve can have the tdi, and i can get my celica! Cant Wait! Not looking forward to filling her up tho! Il post up some photos and a little review in members rides once i actually have the car, but for now here is the link: Clickey fsh,2 owners, first being toyota, it has the style option pack which costs 1500 new (which is crazy because it only adds the different spoiler, the nicer wheels, aliminum pedals and a better sound system) Its the face lifted model (only just) And i will be paying 4k for it. Anyways just thaught i would let you all know

What engine was in the one you drove? I was looking into getting the 2.0d sport, but the went to find that the engines have reliability problems!

spotted it on piston heads, i was shocked! Mine is going up for sale soon as well, pretty bad time to sell cars tho really. The arosa tdi count on this website is dropping! What do you plan to replace it with?

You know you drive an arosa when you turn a corner and what was on the passenger side 'shelf' is now on the drivers side 'shelf'

the 4k isent the only constraint, if only buying a car was that simple! Cant get insured on a puma, 318, 320d, 147 etc etc. Iv never been on a motorbike or driven fast cars, I have never driven a car that can do 60 in 8.7, I wanted to see if anyone had experience driving the celica, if they were fun, reliable etc, not to tell me that the stats of parkers make it a **** car. Thanks for your input anyways. A mazda 6 is a great idea as well i think they look pretty good and go really cheap, mite have to test drive one of them as well. Anyone owned or driven one? Thanks

Dont really like the look of the corrado anymore tbh, The main issue is insurance, im on my mums with direct line and i want to have my own policy for this next car, but i can transfer the no claims, and for a lot of cars they wont even insure me. I even cant get insured on 147 deisel ffs! I would deffo love to have an mx5, and i can get insured on one but as i say i need to have back seats to cart my family around when they need me to. They help me out with insurance costs and stuff so they need to benifit from me driving! The kind of car i would be comparing to is the couger, the 2.0 one which is even slower and aparantly handles worse. The celicas are ment to be fun to drive from what i read, and i think in the rite spec and colour they look great. Im obv just gonna have to test drive one. 140bhp in a car that dosent really weigh much more than a sport tho? how the hell did you keep up? clearly the club lupo croud dont like the celica!

thanks for the reply guys, adam im only a 20 year old child, and i havent got much money(can i have a free haircut?) The fastest car iv driven is my arouser really. Are there any other cars than i can get on the used car market for 3-4k which is in the same leauge for insurance and the same kinda car(good looking IMO, reliable etc etc) that you can recomend? I was thinkng of an mx5 at one point but i dont know if i could live with the 2 seats, my parents still use me to cart them around. Have you driven one? Are they realllllyyy that slow/boring? Thanks

Does anyone know much about these? The price of them has dropped pretty low so im thinking of selling the tdi(if your looking to buy a tdi PM me) and buying one of these or a similar car for similar money. What are they like to drive? Do they cost a deadly ammount to run? Iv read a lot of reviews and stuff but id just like to know what the clublupo croud think! Thanks

Oh I didn't realize it was the short wheelbase that makes it like that. Cheers mate

hi everyone, was just wondering what suspension kits are avaliable that will make the ride smoother, it crashes and bumps everywhere i dont know if theres i just need new shocks or if the cars just got poor ride quality but have any of you lowerd the car or anything and found the ride to be better at all? Thanks

DOOONNNEEEYYYY!!!! get a gti, i dont see enuff of them round donney!

I like the idea of having energy all day, and it would probebly get rid of my spots, i have a pretty strict diet, basically cerial and oat milk in the morning, veg and meat for my main meals and quite abit of fruit and nuts. surely eating a lot of potatos and nuts gets quite abit of carbs and fat in you which cant be great (plus all that oil) aparantly stopping eating cooked meat does get rid of spots but there is no texture that matches a well cooked chicken breast! Also do you not drink? do you never crave a big fat steak? surely if you eat all the stuff that creates acid and then a load of veg then the alkalizing foods will balance things out with the acids? Im always interested in theories like this but humans have been eating cooked meat forever and its never come across as an issue, and fruit has always been said to be healthy- even tho they have a load of sugar they also have a load of good fibre and vitimans and other good stuff. also does it cost a load buying all this stuff? You make noodles? how do you even do that! I only watched that first video so far and there is 10 videos like that for every single idea of a diet so I cant really take them serously!
