LOL Just blew a hole in my back box
 

That celica I purchased a couple of weeks ago now sounds like a tank.
I knew the back box was on its way out, comming back from Soton yesterday it all of a sudden got very loud..lol, when I got home had a look and there is a big hole on the top of the back box, gonna go get a new one fitted in a bit for £80.00 thats around $127.00 so its not to bad.

Should have got an mr2.

Whats a back box?
And sorry to hear this bud!

MR2s are for girls ..Celicas are for men :winkwink:

Its just the exhaust back box.. nothing to serious

Back in the day I worked for Toyota and mostly on the MR2.
what a piece of junk to fix not to mention the cost.
Fun ride but get your wallet out when it breaks,

OH... you mean the muffler.

Never heard it called a back box before.

"back box" hahaha

I thought this thread would be more about rough anal sex than mufflers.

never heard it called a "back box" before lol

:1orglaugh

Great cars.I've always liked Toyotas from the 80's and the 90's.Beautiful cars.Take care of her. :thumbsup

MR2's aren't girly at all. In fact, once you acclimate to the caveats of a Mid-Rear layout + short wheelbase, it's an amazingly fun car.

Yes, they are a bitch to work on - yes it can be pricey.

But, for the cost of a WRX Sti for example, you can build a jaw dropping 400whp MR2 that will rubberneck any crowd. :2 cents:

On the other side of the coin, for the cost of a WRX Sti you can buy a NSX, the MR2's purebred MR big brother. :thumbsup

I'd like to point out a Celica is also a girl car!!!

Yeah well the car enthusiasts can't keep in in their pants.... :helpme

I got a screw in my back tyre of my bmw, just found it today. Normally its not bad, I pay $300 for a tyre and get it put on however on my car I have run flats, they are $550 per tyre. Pissed me off when I found it.

i had the same thing happen with run flats too - don't touch the nail, just drive it to a tire place and they can plug it up... did it for me free at the corner station

it's worked fine ever since :)

How good are run flats? If you drove over a stinger could you carry on as normal? Could you then drive over a second/third stinger?

What kinda tyres are u paying $300 for???

They are very commonly called "back boxes" over here in the UK..... type "back box or car back box" in google

We speak proper Engrish over here in the UK u know :)

thats one expensive tyre

I thought you guys called it a silencer. A back box sounds like it's the trunk or something but you call that the boot I think right?

Yesterday while I was driving one of my fuel injectors completely died, ohm'd out at zero. Found out shops wanted an average of about $750 for one injector install, the dealer was closer to $1k. So I got up this morning and replaced it myself, took less than an hour. It may be time to open up a car repair shop.

yep we call the trunk a boot and gas - petrol, people over here say back box, silencer and muffler..just depends on how posh you are I guess.

Yep they charge anything from £25.00 ($39.00) upwards for an hours labour plus whatever the parts cost over here. Its a good biz to be in I guess

probably m3 or 330 tyres
