Trim behind seats, removal

Hi there,
I need to remove the trim behind the seats around the rear wall, and covering the panels below the rear windows.

I want to sort a rattle and remove the air intakes which requires the interior trim removed.

Any pics or suggestions ?

Re: Na exhaust, cheapest place to buy one

Let me think about. I've emailed the guy who sold it to me, asking for suggestions. It cost me £95 plus 60 for today's fitting, total waste of money.

Will let you know.

Na exhaust, cheapest place to buy one

Little bit disappointed. Brought an exhaust from a member of this site which turns out not fit my car. I asked him several times and he confirmed it will fit but it doesn't. So, where can I buy a patent part rear exhaust ? Also need a cat or decat pipe. Had to reuse my old exhaust with brackets, exh...

Rev 4 NA Exhausts

Hi all, My exhaust has seen better days so I'm working out what options I have. It's an NA but I do like the bigger turbo exhausts but am not sure what parts I need to fit this to an NA. Also, I would prefer to keep it nice and quiet, so want the look of a turbo exhaust but with not much noise. Do t...

Re: finally fitted my celica seats

Thanks for the pic. Trouble is I dont have a drill, vice, etc, so making those, although easy, with my selection of tools would be hard :-(

Hi all, I have a 97 NA 65K Mr2. Love it, but am considering LPGing the thing. Anyone know of a good LPG converter in West Sussex ?? Anyone here converted their car, advice / tips ?? I did a search but most date back to 2010. Also, my driver's seat cushion is a little flat / uncomfortable now. Is the...

Re: Rusty Engine struts ??

Hi there.

Thanks for the reply. What are the technical names for these parts ?? I might ring up Toyota for a price. Is there one on each side, so worth buying both sides ?? They look like simple black tubes, just like the X tubes on top of the engine.

What are cancer bars then ??

Re: Whining - wheel bearing or gearbox ?

Cheers all. I was testing it this morning, the whine only happens in gear / on load, so is gearbox related. It isnt loud, I suppose as the cabin / car is so quiet / squeak free you can suddenly hear transmission noises. I will change the gearbox fluid with some royal purple that I have for my M3 Evo...

Say I got into 4th at 30mpg, to get as much mpg as possible, but accelerate a little I can hear a whining sound. Im sure its the gearbox as if I let off t...

Re: [FINALIZED] Red 1993 NA Rev3 T-Bar...£750

Hi,

I understand, breaking a car is a long term deal. If you decide you keep it and break it though, I would be interested in the centre panel and exhaust. Mine is a NA, so did that exhuast just bolt on, or do I need the flex bit, or whatever ?? IS it louder ??

Re: [FINALIZED] Red 1993 NA Rev3 T-Bar...£750

Hi,

If you do break it, I would be interested in exhaust and middle panel of the rear lights ( bit that has the reverse lights in ).
