An oil filter is like 99p... Sparkplugs would be about £20 and oil is cheap as chips

plugs are cheap on 'normal' cars...
Oil filter was £5 as it is HUUUGE
8 plugs came to 12.16, £1.52 each
oil is the expensive part

Just done the second oil and filter change since owning my Celica GT4... £40 for four litres fully synthetic oil!!
plus you need 5 litres to do a change so I usually buy 2x4ltr containers
£80 on oil!

servises are one of the biggest rip offs ever
seen garages charge for greasing the doors, 20p or something!

what a bawbag of a car
The sumpnut was 29mm I didnt have one to hand, so had to make do with a pipe wrench and alot of force.... hand are fucked
The sparkplugs were a 21mm, i only had 17mm to hand till i found my 21 after i'd gone and borrowed one from a garage.
The oil filter was well and trully schtuck.... hammered a screw driver though, squirted my heed with oil
