As you can see, the Celica is perfect in every measurable manner, just the pinnacle of pristine, showroom quali—

Hah, no it’s just another old Toyota :)

My car needs washing, but if I did it it’d be greenish-yellowish-black by tomorrow.

You have KERS? Holy crap that’s amazing! Tell me, how did you get it to work with your Celi- wait, what are you doing with that water hose? No. No, don’t do that. KERS is an electric system! Oh my god...no. Stop! STAAAAAAAAHHHP

my mind automatically defaults to louvers when I see any 70s/80s slantback car, its a disease

I’ve found a few Celicas of that vintage in the yard in the past few months, but I bet those Louvers are beyond hard to find.

Hmm well if you ever scavenge again let me know, I can already think of a few bits I wouldn’t mind having.

Pollen’s in full swing here. I’ve just been cleaning the glass every few days. Speaking of which, it’s time to do it again tonight.

Will do, if I notice one when I am in a yard, I’ll shoot you a pic on the telephone machine.

I’m sure that you can find some eventually. Probably someone that parts out Celicas sand supras. That’s how I found a set, and a few other items, for the Z. Search Celica or Supra forums/groups.

I gotcha. My pickup looks like it’s growing yellow moss from all the pollen. But I also just line trimmed so it’s covered in grass. Eh.

What a coincidence I also washed my car today! But guess what happened I forgot to wash my drivers side wheel... I realized it after I was set to go out so now I’m riding around on 3 cleans wheels -_-

I had plans of washing ours but got sidetracked at HD and getting taxes done. Shooting for tomorrow now.

Really had decided to drive the thing as is, but I changed my mind pretty quickly. It wants me to do stuff.

Hey as long as you throw your entire tax return and subsequent paychecks down on a land cruiser, I’ll forgive you.

I do a terrible job of washing the Vibe. I always find spots I miss on the side no matter how hard I try!

It does, but just a few minor things. Mostly stock is best.

I like my cars as stock as stocky. But it would definitely look boss with the Supra wheels...

Everything looks better with supra wheels.

I'm usually meticulous but I couldn't believe I missed a wheel! That's like cleaning your bathroom and forgetting to clean the toilet.

Yeah, I cut the grass for the first time this year yesterday. Sent pollen everywhere, but I did my best to avoid the cars. It’s supposed to rain tonight into tomorrow, so I’ll have a short break from it.

Find the 15x6 85-86 L-type wheels. The standard 14x7 P-types look great but are a bit wide if you mind that sort of thing.

We’re in the process of doing a refi on the house. That's going to free up a lot of cash so it's getting closer to a reality.

they all look shiny, now off topic, where the hell is the fuel filter for carb’d 22R in pickup? have new one, can’t find old one.

It’s right on the left of the valve covers. Usually suspended with a sort of steel clamp that resembles a 70s aftermarket cupholder.

You can see it right under the carb at 730 o’clock relative to the carb

It should be white (Coated with dirt and grime) with a in fuel line from the firewall and an out line going right to the carb.

should be able to find that. I’m surprisingly ignorant about my own truck because one seldom NEEDS to fix anything on it.

It’s the only thing I’ve ever replaced under the hood on my ‘89. They’re a bad design from the factory because it goes in a tight V with a filter beneath the fuel path. Aftermarket ones actually have the in and out on opposite ends of the cylinder, going through the filter.

at the age of 29 (in family from new) my red 85 broke down for the first time. It was the spark control box. It was,surprisingly expensive. found at the time original date coded everthing under the hood, Distributor had never been cracked open since the engine was assembled. now I need to replace some wiring just due to age. Before the ignition went out, It had never failed to start, never had any quirks to speak of other than the carb being a little finnicky right around the freezing point in wet weather, but it was always like that. I guess you open an pandora’s box of repairs once you start taking apart something old. -(side note, today I mastered the externally regulated old-timey chevy alternator)

I pretty much do everything not to touch anything. My ‘80 (20R) could use a little TLC under the hood and on the suspension. I just can’t bring myself to spend that kind of dough on something I paid nothing for, especially a vehicle I barely use.
