Control arms arrived today. Got some pics up on one of them. Seems ok, I'm guessing the arm itself is not the thing to worry about and it's the bushes. Hopefully I get some gone life out of it. Think I may spray cavity wax inside the arm so it don't rot out as quick

agreed, amazon reviews could be planted. i like to watch youtube videos of people using the parts and talking about them. club forums are also a good place to check reviews out. looks like CTR has a lot of reviews for different parts on youtube so seems to be a big company, also looks like as...

Ok thanks I will go with the ctr option and hope they last.

I see, would CTR be good for my jap car then? Or these control arms going to be at least better than the other brands? Also who would have made the original parts for Toyota? Or who do Toyota get to make the bushings for them? I read that for ball joints Toyota have them made by sankie 555 so...

yes autodoc was the shop i was looking at. iv never heard of brands like CTR etc so not sure if they any good. usually for my fiesta i would go with lemforder or meyle hd arms which i currently have for the fiesta but these brands are not available for the celica. i will check those other stores...

Hi all, I'm In the UK so limited on brands I can get for my Mk7 Toyota Celica. Iv see. Brands for lower front control arms such as NTY, Maxgear, CTR, Febest and stark. Going original Toyota is too expensive at £245 per arm and I'm not looking to go with polyurethane ones such as superpro. So...

I sprayed noxudol 700 into the box sections and sills and with the left over in the sprayer I just sprayed it under the car Now the interesting thing is noxudol 700 is yellowish in colour and transparent to a degree and what I noticed is that whatever was a bit rusty like control arms etc it...

I thought resistor plug is only needed on efi and ECU managed engines?

Change the original sparkplugs on this trimmer, was a champion one. Put in a NGK non resistor plug was shocked how fast it fired up. Half a pull of the cord and it's purring away

Hmm I may be able to just use some copper brake pipe since it bends easily and make up a union joint to connect to the carb. Surprised I didn't think of this sooner

looks like this tubing is in imperial sizes and not metric. although im not sure how flexible it is as in would 3.2mm stretch over a 4mm union?

I use PTFE dry lube spray

Too hard and expensive to get here in the UK. Best I can get for reasonable money is E5 99ron

Yes my brother ran standard E10 in it. I run high octane which is E5 and I use stabil in the fuel too these days. Will see how things last. Iv got plenty of this pvc hose lying around to do the job 5 times over so may as well make use of it. How does PTFE hose fair with fuel?

got this 26cc hedge trimmer from my brother long time ago since the blades were damaged it worked out better for him to get a whole new unit. this was sitting in storage for couple of years and pulled it out yesterday since i bought an electric trimmer and saw it had a square shaft and maybe the...
