Has anyone ever had a button or anything in this spot? Refering to the double wide blank button area?

Official part name is COVER, LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPENER SWITCH HOLE...

Open to suggestions as to what would fit in here from the OEM toyota buttons out there.

It will be an ST mate 7afe engine

Looking to purchase cruise control parts for the AT200.

steering wheel trim for around the cruise control stalk on the 4 spoke steering wheels.
actuator in the engine bay that mounts on the right hand side engine mount, associated cables and brackets.
The accelerator mount.
possibly the throttlebody as well with the cable connectors being different.

Ideally if someone has them all that would be great. Thanks guys.

You can convert it to Mcpherson from the st202s mate. Several lads have done this here in Ireland, involves a fair amount of parts steering struts, hubs sorting calipers and discs etc. If you're willing to invest time to do it right now it'll save you with superstrut down the line

Some fantastic work coming from them! I've an 82 shell and an st205 running gear sitting there but I was born with neither the brains nor a welder and grinder in each hand like that lad!! Lot of lads looking forward to seeing the finished article!!

Running them nearly a month now and put up a few thousand miles on them daily driving. Very happy with the rates on them at 6 and 4kg, softest setting is still stiffer than the KYB OEM replacements. setting 30 on the road will break your teeth on Irish back roads instantly!! setting 15 is manageable, not as linear as much as maybe the Teins I've seen but at the price of these and the rebuild price I'll let it slide. Only thing I really did not like is the abs, brake line holder... very easily bent very little force even running the bolt through the threads first so watch that. Tempted to fit a set to the ST205 already.. Still adjusting the height on them, tires are on 225/45/17s and rears are very close to the arch lip, so raised the rear up a bit... not a fan of dropping the car to where the wheels are sunk in so adjusting the front a bit and I'll be happy. Compared to TRD coilovers these are great daily, I've been advised to avoid the inverted style ones for daily driving moreso that they're wearing out quicker.

Any more info or pics on the work on this? Interested to see how it went...

@JoshuaM Was tempted to steal her after I heard she was out fixing (jk) his car in the wedding dress lol

Ireland getting it's first taste of real sunshine for the year it may only last a week but we did manage to get a few local lads out the back roads for some driving and photos

Pulling very nice there Lot of respect for this Celica with all the work you've done on it

Celicas out for the day for the mates wedding who owns the RC on the right


Even the bride got in on the action

Faffs are very looking very well

It's only an AT200 replica of an ST205, but the paint is stock Celica 746. I've only ever came across one ST205 in that colour ONCE, was in a breakers and yard beyond repair to fix I've never seen another ST205 in the 746 paint code. I tried hard to find one before I bought the white ST205 though.

Most of the late spec AT200 models here in Ireland & the UK I see with the headlight washers. Very few WRCs I've seen with them. Heres 3 WRC ST205s along with me and none have the washer jets fitted.

You can simply move it to the side once you've unbolted the chargecooler, no need to drain it If you've an awkard strutbrace over the chargecooler it's a bit tricky just a bit more wiggling.

Quick shot today after taking her out from the garage

Rant Begins!

Just after getting my renewal quote in for the year for the Celica 1.8 for €2245 fully comp. Thats a drop of €1000 euros from last year!
For someone with a full clean Irish licence with 3years no claims discount it should have bee lower than that!! When I picked up the car last year the company that I was insured with wanted €4000 to cover me fully comp!!! Ringing around looking for someone cheaper, I found out that no one would even touch me! Most wouldn't touch me until I was over 25 and had 5 years no claims at least! Came back to that company managed to wrestle them down to €3400 for the year!

Rang around this time again with the new quote to try and bring it down some more same old story, until I got a hold of a number from a mate. Mouth dropped on the floor!
This company quoted me €1380 fully comp with every bonus I had with the company I was with!
Signed up to that deal straight away!! Got the papers out and low and behold they were a broker for AXA a company that wouldn't touch me until I was 25 with 5years no claims!
Having 2 named drivers on my policy was €0 extra as well!!!

Rant over

Seriously what way do insurance companies work!? Any other Irish lad or lassy paying a F@#KIN arm and a leg for a celica! I understand a 2Liter or GT4 being costly because of the power behind them but a 1.8 ST!?

I think you might have, I kept getting notices on the window of the car when I parked n that estate, stating I was blocking entrances (I was not!) that anything to do with you Paul? Ding and Dom know me over at Duncregan, usually taking off at 7 or 8 after a party back to donegal. I'm pretty sure I have seen puma but woulda paid more attention to an orange gt4

Is there gona be a small cruise when the gt4 lands in derry again? I've been in a 350bhp gt4 and that had some serious kick but hell!! you asking for penalty points
Let us know when you get her back.

the corrado looks like something someone took a pic of outa a car park!?? how the #&@£ is that winning?
You sure there isn't a typo in that poll for "most stock looking car"???

Voted but I ain tellin

The 'ST' is just from me Celica ST. With some luck and lower insurance it might be 'GT4lad' by November time.
Not a Derry man myself, Donegal man but have been in Magee for the past two years and always driving thru bridgeend to get there so ya mighta seen me in a blue/green Celica This is her
I might just take you up on that offer paul, ya might be able to give me a few tips on buildin a GT4 beast!

hmm does it look like this???


This box I found just above the air vents in the center dash, theres a "key transponder" box on the passenger side. I found no buttons on either!? I even unscrewd that one and opened it up the only button looking thing is a set of dip-switches which I take are for setting the frequency.

where the hell are you hiding in derry and why have I not seen that GT4!! I'm pretty sure my eyes woulda been on your car rather than the road!
That is looking really tight lad! Fair play in making me want a GT4 more!

Ok tried looking for that box, no joy!
Could you post a pic of what the box under the seat looks like?
I took apart the dash looking for a control box with a button but nothing... not a zip? The car doesnt have an aftermarket alarm for sure, the toyota security led is there and no aftermarket boxes anywhere. All the boxes are labeled TVS-IIIB, again not one with a button

Damn I bet there was some 18+ words used when that happened!!

I picked up a liliput 629 and was wonderin how to put that into the car an make it oem looking... one just solved my worries lad just needs to get me some supa glue

Could you tell me if that screen protrudes far into the dash as I've a double din case that I want to but a computer in? Im a bit busy till the summer to start taking things apart.
