Yeah I got me some 80's J-Tin Went to look today and its a damn fine rare find, a near immaculate Toyota Celica ST162 I was shocked to find she's almost like new, not really got any plans at the minute, I was gonna go for a Marlboro liveried rally rep, but she's far to good. Reckon i'm just gonna slap her witht he stick over some period white alloys! Anyways Pics to do the talking!     Pop up lights FTW  Yes that is only 75k   The bit that makes it go and me smile - 147bhp out the box  |

That looks super clean! They're usually a bit rusty, that's the best I've seen for years! Engine bay looks immaculate too. Top work!

Hard to find though Adam, the new ones have larger (or smaller i forget) holes
As a bonus its a 5x100 pcd, so Scooby, and VAG group will fit

God-damn, that's in horrendously good looking conditoin. Bet that'll make a proper ace daily! Very nice design on those, I like 'em a lot! Kudos Bet it sounds quite good as well, nice cone filter would let it roar a little more I think |

Lovely condition car you've picked up there I can't recomend these highly enough. If you need any spares for yours let me know as I'm breaking mine at the moment. I've got a set of brand new (boxed) lowering springs, a pair of new (slightly used) Genuine front wings and a later interior that I modified to fit as the standard 162 interior fades to purple, as well as any other bits you might need, lights, motors etc This was mine looking shiney once apon a time on 18" Lensos  and after I resprayed it satin black (red had faded badly and it had had some poor rear arch repairs) with Audi rims  The Interior I swapped in (including rear seat coverings)  |

That is truly an outstanding ST162, i've had two of them in the past, the second one i put 2.0GT celica alloys ( 1996 type ) but needed 8 mm spacers on the back, the late Gen 7 16" alloys fit on no problem, always seems to be sets up on Ebay.....look after your new motor  |

I miss my old 162, was in that weird blue two tone Toyota liked for a while. Sadly head gasket went and warped the head. She was a little rusty as well so went for £100.
Your's looks a minter. For my money they're an awesome fwd coupe, brilliant handling and can be had for decent cash. I am very tempted to get another now I've sold the Porsche.

Got me some new wheels! Work RSB's, proper period, still got the stickers on the back with the date they were made 15/06/93 The tyres are shot and I need to order some tapered bolts to fit them, but I could resist bolting them up quickly to see how they sit!     You can see in that last pic that i'm gonna need some 10mm spacers up the rear to bring them out a bit. I'm also thinking a slightly lower profile tyre and some major lowering??? The paint on the rim centres was flakey and the alloy underneath corroded, so I decided a full refurb is in order! You can see here there's 36 bolts per wheel  They took a long time to remove, even with the air tools...  Finanlly the centres were out  Leaving this  Smacking the tyre on the ground soon cracked the front bead allowing me to pull the polished rim off  Try as I might though I couldn't break the bead on the rear of the rim, so I still have a pile tyres with half a rim attached in me Garage Once all 4 wheels were done I was left with this, thats 144 tiny little bolts   The centres were corroded badly, attacking them with NitroMors removed the paint  The corrosion was removed with the wire wheel and drill method  Looking good so far   Next step is to finish the other 3, then get onto painting |
