Looks as though the old "unpaid parking ticket/penalty notice" scam is doing the rounds once again: unpaid parking ticket/penalty notice just received by text.

Asking for £20 this time around.

Lots of articles on google today https://t.co/O46N7w9dPR

Can my Gas Struts be saved?: Are you able to replace the very top part of the strut which sits firmly into the ball joint?   While removing this off the car, the nut had rounded which meant it had to be cut off using an angle grinder by my mechanic.… https://t.co/UpFZoE2Iox

New sills: Hi all, can anyone recommend a place or person in the Chester area that could form and replace the sills on my g7. It seems that there is no chance of obtaining spare parts.

Torque suspension: I need to torque all the rear suspension. 

I know this is normally done under load. To reduce twist, but can I Jack each rear control arm up and once it's at its limit. Torque it then? https://t.co/jiy6lEfa3Q

[Celica Club UK @celicaclubuk]

Polybush question: Hi all, just wondered if its normal when putting suspension together the polybushes are really tight.

I basically need a rubber mallet to get them to fit.

Painting new heat shield: Quick question. 

I'm replacing the heat shield above the CAT on my gen 7 and was thinking I would paint it to try and stop the bolts holes corroding. Do you reckon I would be OK with normal etch and stone chip paint? Seems… https://t.co/Ok4EmhvDlT
