Its been just over a year now since i bought lukes(manphibian) old gen6 GT. Since then ive crashed it into a lampost in the snow. Fitted a new bumper and crash bar to sort that one out. After that ive had on going idle problems for almost a year which i hope will be sorted this week with a replacement thermostat. The skirts began to lose more and more paint and with the replacement bumper looking tatty ive decided to have the car resprayed (same colour). Most recently my driveshaft snapped which was pretty shocking. Just replaced the driveshaft and cv joint.

Ive also decided to paint the alloys white when the car goes to the spray shop. I bought some 17" Dezent wheels to put it on while its there (£55!) which im guna refurb and sell on!

Il get some more pictures of the car as it is at the moment later in the week!

My new rear lip arrived today! Did a quick mock fit, looks very subtle so im happy.

However, its seems as standard with this car now, every time i fix something, something else breaks. Its like ive angered the celica gods....

Anyway i found a load of wool/wadding coming out of the exhaust which i believe is the sound proofing in the muffler? Does that mean a new muffler or can it be fixed? Also any ideas on cost? I do have the receipt from when luke had it fitted which has a lifetime warranty so il give them a call tomorrow.
