If you disconnect the stereo does it help the lights?

Should have been a ground wire in the harness too.

Thanks Ryan, fan of your old car, nice to see you keeping your eye-in on here

I was considering the plate holder swap actually, might get one and try it then sell it on if I dont like it

I have also come to terms with the limited power upgrades now too, I'll be swapping out at some point though, just not yet, I might even get this f***ing plate holder off at some point too

Anytime mate glad you like it. I've been working on the 2 today and I can safely say the Celica is far less grief lol

What air filter do you have on at the moment? I've had a Blitz on the 6 GT I had then replaced it with a K and N panel filter and on my old ST I had a Pipercross panel filter and in both cases I can honestly say if you've got a cone then swap it for a panel filter you'll get a better throttle response from it (and it'll save you fuel as well)

As for the plate holder if you've got your numberplate holder in and stuck then there's 2 bolts (one either side of the boot catch) Undo the plastics from the inside and remove your lights all at the same time. I believe there are 2 bolts lower down as wellwhich may be your problem

I'm happy to stick around here I update my MR2 thread in my old 6 thread occasionally but there's a fair few people I get along well with (Josh, Timmyface and plenty others)

If there's anything else I can help you with please give me a shout and I'll see what I can do

thanks ricochet, all sorted now

So weird that you say that as I did have a cone but it failed the mot on emissions (only last week) so i put the standard air box and filter back in and decided to go back to flat panel and am awaiting my K&N being delivered! spooky!

There were two bolts but they had been spot welded onto the body for some reason (looking around, someone has been hacking at the rear panel too so assume related at some point in its history) Got it all sorted now anyway (eventually forced the screws out using hulk-like strength) so gonna order an import holder and deal with the weld issue then when I have more time

UPDATE - blue leds ordered for interior, also gonna be soldering mini ones to all the little internal green lights including on the HVAC

***I need some help from a US-based celi-friend please

I need clear interior door courtesy light lenses, i can find them online but only on US sites that wont ship to the UK The ones on ebay over here are too expensive for whats essentially a $10 part

Would someone be willing to get me two and ship to the UK? I'll paypal money up front, just dont want to be paying $50 for these! Can someone give me a price pretty please?

Cheers

Thanks Keiri, PM'd

So Brian is kindly sorting the lenses for me but car failed its emissions test on Co2 Assuming its because of the lambda sensor so car is off the road for a couple of days, stupid environmental hippies!

Gear surround wrap has finally come out perfectly, next onto LED work and pics to follow
