so far thats what i can remember atm sorry guys its very scrambled. Been busy with many things

Progress atm is engine is nearly finished building, engine bay all nicely cleaned down. deleted aircon/all pipes ripped out. Still thinking to block off the EGR but not main concern atm.

Also slowly figuring out my suspension setup but saving up for some BC's BR coils, had them on my 6gc and they still havent failed me so im heading that path probably.

Thanks for the read!

Hey 6gcers.

I have done some searching around on a couple of sites (including this one), to find if st204 coilovers fit on a st185. Is it only the spring rate that is different? Or it doesnt even bolt up.

i found a source saying front bolt up fine, and another source saying rears bolt up fine.


Thanks for your help!! (Oh i will be testing this out my self later during the week, just thought if another person can tell me if it does.)

UPDATEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Head gasket got fixed, re machined the head and all is running well now. Not much more to say besides some little updates i will post photos on later.


Oh i might be getting a GT4.

sorry for the long lost un updated info.

Thanks for the info!

How much hp can the 5sfe box hold? Just wondering, not because im going to have a 600hp celica

Thanks for info guys!

Looking for someone that can help me put the engine now and maybe have a 3s swapped celica soon!

Of course after reading few other peoples threads for more info and after sourcing a halfcut

Thanks for the replies guys! Im still unsure on what to do atm, but really would like to do a 3s swap been reading around the forums and have been tempted by other owners that have done the swap.


@bsamps, just a quick question does the stock 5s tranny bolt to a 3sgte? (Considering that you've done the swap)

I have searched around the forum for this and everyone says yes but some toyota nerd nearby where i live thinks not; so yeah.

Thanks

I really want 3sgte swap. Just i wont be able to do it. Need a workshop to handle mad turbo swap. But the wait for it is mid feb next year until they start the car

Over here p platers are allowed anything ahaha! Just need to have modification permits and follow the modding laws.

Bad news... Head gasket is gone.

Ideas on what to do?

I got a few
1. 3sgte swap
2. 1mz swap
3. Swap for same motor.
4. Another celica (transfer parts)
5. New car.


Pleas help!

Thanks danmumo! The gauges you have to get yourself, but doggy can help you out with the gauge pod holders.

Hey Chovies!

Try Bc Br coilovers. Im on them at the moment and fully lowered; my car is about 3cm off chassis. Dont know how low you want to go but yeah. Also i got mine off ebay, for just under $1000 posted to your door less than 4days (and im in Western Australia!!)

And for wheel spacers, try ichiba, got them off ebay as well. Approx $450 all up with postage. Im current running 30mm on front and 38mm on rear (hubcentric ofc)

Firstly get your coilovers, then lower your car to where your happy and then get spacers. Thats what i did anyway.

But thats my opinion! Goodluck!


My thread:
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=89426

(if theres anything in there that can help yah)

Im running 30mm hub centric wheels spacers on the front and 38mm hub centric on the rear. No problems so far. Both from ichiba. If i were to run anything more than 10mm i'd get bolt. Thats my opinion though.

My thread if you need

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...89426&st=20

Ahahah! I got it about 2 months ago! Completely forgot to put it in yellow is an eyesore after a while. Especially with the hot aussie summer coming

As much as i want to, the spacers will stick out and im afraid cops will defect me if i had alloys...

Thanks!

HEY GUYS PRETTY BIG UPDATE IMO!!
Recently received my spacers! Took only 4 days from USA, not bad

SPECS OF SPACERS:
Ichiba Hubcentric spacers
30mm on front
38mm on rear
54.1 hub centric ring
M12 x 1.5p


HUGE ahah

The excitement!!


Next to a wallet


During


After (the jack is let down)


Went for a test drive... ended up doing this


LOL
DIY Guard rolling!
After that the rears haven't rubbed since, even after taking corners ridiculously fast and yeah. Only problem is that the front wheels rub when going over a speed bump at a stupid speed. (eg. 40km/h)



Next addition...


i wonder what it is?!?!?!

TADA!


Installed


Thankyou to DCW for the awesome custom work! Fits perfect! And looks so much cleaner!




IF YOU WERE WONDERING HOW THE WHEELS SIT NOW!

about 3mm poke

Thanks again for reading!

Also please tell me what i should do to my car next?!

Thanks! Most probably try it today ahahaha!

Do they make a clear third brake light or we have to do some diy? I will see how the car looks once the car has the spacers then may decide on ss3 kit

Hi guys!

Since the last update there have been a few minor things that have changed

Firstly i plastidipped my stockies with a red lip.
I dont have any photos during the painting, but will get them off my phone later
I think they look awesome IMO.

Heres some pics from my recent Car meet.





What do you think???

Besides that i have bought camber kits for the rears and spacers that are on the way

Still waiting for dcw triple gauge pod. But should be here soon

Thanks for reading!

They actually arent that good condition! just cleaning it lots and adding some tire shine that makes it look black


and it takes time to get things done! Cars is a costly hobby

his car is so clean! the steelies will hide the spacers as well when i get them IMO ;p

i just dont like the feel of curb rash ahahha
and plus the rear camber is out by a bit so i dont want to wear out the other set

Finally an update!

So after 7months of no updating, i actually have a proper update!

few months ago i got BC BR coilovers.


Really worth every dollar for the set and changes every single aspect of how you drive the car!!

MOAR PHOTOS!

Also got red lug nuts

phat.

after doing a bit of offroading

About a month ago i decided my hids were too much attention to the police so i decided for a long term upgrade and bought pprojectors!

also another great upgrade!!

and ive started to add stickers all over my car


and the addiction has begun.

and one more weight ADDITION to the car...



sorry for crappy iphone pic but yeah.

got vacuum, voltage and tempurature gauges though it looks good ahahah
also installed SPREE LED KIT but dont have any photos part from the one above so yeah

WAITING ON:
DCW triple gauge holder
and some mega spacers for front and rear (looking to stay on stockies)

Until the next update! Thanks for reading

Hey guys! Awesome thread @Harold.

Im still unsure about all this flush fitment and want to be 100% sure before i buy.

17x9 +35front and back set. Would this hit the strut? And what spacers would i need for the rears? I dont mind having this a little less than flush.


Thanks!
