so it looks like im going to need a 25-30mm spacer? correct?

ok heres the deal i got some 17x7 subie wheels dirt cheap and the fit my coupe but barely cause they are way sunk in. after doing some reserch it seems they are between 53-55mm offset, ughhh. so im trying to figure out what size spacer should i run to get the wheels close to flush with the fenders?

thanks

i currently have gt brakes on the front of my coupe, havent done the rears yet but my car stops very well and ive ran her on the tail of the dragon and didnt have any brake issues.

all i did was ordered new rotors from rockauto.com along with axxis metal master pads

then i got the calipers from the loacal advance auto parts along with the brackets

reused my spindles and hubs (on the front it wouldnt hurt to get new bearings pressed in at this time), the backing plates i just bent to clear the gt rotor.

i can post pics if needed

replied to pm

im wondering is one a better fitment and quality than the other

so im going to fix up my coupe so it doesnt look aweful anymore

im trying to decide if i should go with the andys auto sport "combat" front bumper, or the vfiber "kombat" bumper from the same site?

pm'ed

i need the inner and outter diamaters of the rear springs please.

trying to buy a quarter inch spacer and i cant remove my rear spring to check atm

no the bumpstops are still there, this was more like a spacer

ok so on the rear suspension of my 94 stx coupe there was a thick rubber doughnut-like gasket/spacer that sat between the top part of the spring and the bottom of the strut mount. When i looked at the illustation from a toyota catolog it wasnt there so i removed them, afterwarsd my car makes a light clunking sound on certain bumps. Atm i can only find one of these spacer/gasket type things does anyone know where i can find another?

if need be you can ziptie or get a universal fan mounting kit from autozone for your oem fans. After u changed radiators did u let it run with the cap off while fluid was in the new radiator to burp the system? basicly let it run till no more air bubbles are comming out the radiator.

espo i made a thread for you and others about moddiing the rolla header.

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=75318

ok ive seen a few members on here ask how to mod the corolla 7a header. For those of you that dont know the corolla 7afe header bolts up to the 6th gen st but the pipe where it bolts to the cat is a bit short, plus there is no 2nd o2 sensor, which will cause a cell.

my car is a 94 celica st 5speed coupe with fed emissions just for reference sake

the header i used is for a 93-97 7afe corolla with fed emissions, its made by alpha werks, bought from ebay, won the bid at 42 dollars shipped

heres the pics and explainations

most people ask, why mod a 7afe, well the header was cheaper than the manifold

manifold looked like this



long white marks are cracks, there are 5 of them

header bolted in




heres the distance from where the header would end to the after cat piping (where i cut the pipe on the header is right at the flange)



why did i remove the cat, well to fix it

broke cat



race prep cat



now your going to have to make a trip to the exaust shop after you bolted your newly made race cat in but before you go, do this

cut the section of pipe right after the flex pipe on your old stock assembly and take it with you



now when u get there the pipe will havta be remounted as the header downpipe will annoyingly clunk against the crossmember



also i had them cut and rotate the 2nd o2 bung and pipe then welded up





also now would be a good time to replace the 2nd o2 sensor and extend the wires, heres where my plug rests for 2nd o2




after that your pretty much done, so now i got a header 42 dollars, race cat, free, and the exaust work cost me 25 dollars. not bad

oh and i did copper coat the hell outta the gaskets they sent me, 8000 miles later they are still good.

not so much the hp in a gt, but the torque is alot better.

i miss having a torquey 4cyl, glad my 85 celica and 87 truck will be done soon

an answer would have been nice

still got the ball joints, inner and outter tie rods?

my best friend been searchin for a wideband u still got it?



Edit: saw the ball joints are gone how much for the inner and outter tie rods shipped to 32259?

if u want a cheap wheel upgrade the 82-86 celica supra and 82-85 celica gts have a 14x7 wheel stock that looks good on the older celicas

for cheap added power u can go with a 22r bottom end (81-84 22r) and your 20r head will gain you some power.

theres a site called engine builder that makes performace parts for the r series. or look up epn 22r on google

also lcengineering but they are expensive but has everything under the sun

beams swap, pffft you can shoehorn a jz series engine or a 7m in there if you would like, also a 1uzfe fits as well

22rte would work too but wouldnt have as much poteintal but would still yeild around 265hp with some money thrown at it

a v6 radiator out of a 2nd gen 4runner or truck (89-95 v6) is a cheap upgrade from what i read.

i could rattle on but i gotta head to work, nice find. i want a 1st gen coupe so bad.

as far as interior, my buddy used some kind of board and that black automotive carpet u get at walmart in his 77 liftback and it turned out nice. Look up ANDY on celicatech.com and look in the projects fourm to see his build

well my stx is my beater but ill give it some love because though it aint rwd its still a celica.

my manifold was cracked like u said so heres what i did

bought a alpha werks header for a 7a corolla from ebay, $42 dollars
bought a big oval polished aluminum muffler from craigslist, $30 dollars
took off the 2nd cat to inspect it, clogged, gutted it (no emmisions here)
test fitted the 7a header, fit good but was too short to reach the cat and the header doesnt have the 2nd o2 bung for your sensor
cut the section of pipe after the flex pipe on the stock manifold/pipe assembly off
cut the flange off the rolla header,scrapped it
cut the flange off the stock mainifold pipe but left a bit of pipe on (enough to weld to)
went to the exaust shop and had them weld the stock pipe onto the header to the cat but had the pipe rotated so that the 2nd o2 bung is on its side instead of strait up. $25 dollars
forgot the damn muffler so its still not on yet but was told id be $50-75 for the piping to be welded on (since i have my own muff and looking for a resonator)
went to autozone bought a new o2 sensors
went home and extened the wires for them
enjoyed my fun test drive

if u need pics i can take em 4 u

need the toyota badge off the deck lid of the coupe, how much to 32259?

oh and i need a driver front mudflap

sub still available, ive about killed my current 10. let me know

btw is it svc or dvc?

if your interested in the bbs 15x7's i have a set im not using in storage

if the guy i emailed dont come get them very soon u can have em for 150 o.b.o

id preffer you come get them though

try swapping dizzys from your parts car

www.rockauto.com

they have rotors for the gt for 27 dollars for the front at the moment, and u can get axxis metal masters pads for 40 i think

good thing cause im giving it bigger balls

nobody ever said my 85 was girly
