Cars I'm looking foward to driving

TOYOTA: 1981 : CELICA XX 2800GT
DMC: 2004 : DeLorean S2
BMW: 1973 : 2002 Turbo
JENSEN HEALEY: 1974 : Interceptor MkIII
LOTUS: 1990 : Carlton
TRIUMPH: 1974 : Spitfire 1500

but I don't expect to win races with them.

If you're interested in UK meets, you ought to join us over on www.celica-club.co.uk

The car is now for sale on eBay. See here

They're not real bikes, they don't have enough chrome

Emmisions is one part of the reason, but the main part is the crappy gas you get to run your cars on. The engines have to be detuned (mainly lower compression ratio) to run on the stuff.

More engine codes

B Dual standard carbs (only used on non-twin cam engines, obsolete code)
C Californian pollution control (also most of the world)
D Uses leaded fuel (Super) when base engine uses regular
E Electronic Fuel Injection
F Twin Cam (economy)
G Twin Cam (sports) with multiple sidedraft carbs (unless EFI)
H Unknown but never combined with -B or -C
i Single point fuel injection
II Unknown - possibly denotes L.A.S.R.E
J Unknown, possibly autochoke, possibly another anti-pollution control
L Transverse mounted engine (seems to be an obsolete code)
LPG LPG fuel
M Phillipines market (details unknown)
P LPG fuel
R Low compression for regular (not super or premium) fuel.
S Swirl intake ports (only a few made in mid '80s)
S Direct injection & swirl pot pistons (starting from '97/98)
T Turbocharged
U Japanese pollution control (introduction of "U"nleaded?). Engine uses TTC-C, TTC-L or TTC-V.
Z Supercharged

Everyone's migrating to www.celicatech.com

It's a Ford Fiesta. A small car that's very popular throughout Europe, possibly Ford's best seller.
It would have looked like this one originally

In the UK all Celicas from '82 (gen3) to '99 (gen6) had headlamp washers.

Don't all gen 6s have them?

Available late '98 through '99 until the gen 7 arrived.

It's an ST (AT200, 7A-FE, 1.8, 114bhp) with a few bits added on, like the very nice Momo alloys.

I've just looked at the wiring diagram and I'm guessing that no-one knows where the relay is.....cos there isn't one!

All the circuitry is inside the switch panel on the driver's door.

They both move at the same time.

There is a reason behind it.
Well two really, gas and miles.

Here in the UK our gas (petrol) is 95 to 98 RON, and Japan has up to 100. Your lower octane stuff means the engines have to be significantly detuned. And because everywhere in America is so spread out, you expect your engines to do a lot more miles than we do. We think of 100,000 miles as being high mileage. This is why Toyota fit a larger capacity lower stressed unit for the US.

That's exactly what they're for. In Japan space is limited, so garages, and streets for that matter, are are lot tighter than the wide open spaces you have there in the US.

Yes, but mine's in the right place

You so want them




Congratulations Batman, welcome to the club.

Try TCB in Cornwall http://www.tcbperformanceparts.co.uk/welcome.htm

In the UK they were fitted from '96 on. There's no button for it, they're either on all the time or maybe linked to the rear screen demister, and there's nothing on the glass to show. The only way to tell is to take the glass out and find the wires on the back.

OK sorry, it's me that's made a mistake.

What I've done is use different codes for wire colors each time.
In one place I've abbrieviated Light Green to LG and in another place LGR. So LG/R and LGR/R are the same thing.
I'll go back and edit my posts so that everything matches.
Incidently, I know that the UK and US colors match up because the circiut diagram I've got is a US one and it matches my car.

The + and - from the mirrors do go directly to the + and - of the control unit. I didn't mark the control unit connections as + and - because it doesn't matter which way they go. The button on the control isn't marked, it just presses in and out, so it works both ways round.

Take them apart and have a look at the motors. Toyota may have used the same ones and you may be able to build them into your existing mirrors.

Here's a useful website for you Tire size calculator
You can enter different tire sizes and it will show the difference in diameter etc. It even calculates speedo error.

Incidently, 205/55-15 and 225/50-15 work out as exactly the same diameter.

About $100 - $110 plus shipping. They're not cheap but they are very good quality and unique.
