Oh a cup holder. Damn good idea. I hate were they are in the car. Can't shift worth a crap with a cup there. But I could look into the fog light air duct and see if I can make one

Got bored today and wanted to make a cf tray for the celica since the air bag was blown and wanted to share with you all. I hardly post on here and I'm sorry for that.

I have an eBay header on my other celica and its cheap and didn't fit worth a crap. I had to make the down pipe longer and drill the holes out bigger to fit. Does any company make headers for the celica like DC sports or even pasetter?

I'm looking but can't seem to find an aftermarket header worth buying. I got a crack in the stock one and just wanted to upgrade. Any help would be nice.
Thank you.

Well I got the camber bolts installed and went to get an alignment. Guy tells me even with the bolts the camber is a good 2 degrees off from being where it should.
The company I got the struts from said they would take them back and give me my full credit back. Never had a problem like this before with struts.

Is that a 1/2" when on the ground or in the air? cause if it's while in the air then it may rub once you put it back down.

Your totally right. It was in the air when test fitted . Once I get the rear spacers and fit them and try the fronts out and drive around and if the fronts rub I'll get some 5mm spacers and go from there.

Yep spacers will solve the issue.
I would of also had a stern word with the girlfriend. Sure surprises are nice. But she needs to understand the offset!

Hhaha. I knew about the rims and we were going to go with +35 offset but the company didn't have them in stock but they had the +47 and I really didn't think 12mm would make that much of a difference and me not know much about the celica cause I'm more of a Honda guy. But I'm running 25mm spacers all around on my civic. So that's why I went with them.
Now I didn't get spacers for the front cause there's about a half inch gap between the rim and strut so I thought that would be OK.

The girlfriend bought a set of drag dr38s in 17x8+47 with 225/45/17 tires and we went to mount the read rims and the rim is hitting the strut. So I just bought a set of 25mm spacers for the rear.
So the spacers should be here in a few days. What else would you guys have done?

awesome. thanks guys, the price for the bolts are a fair price so Ill order them today. once I get outside Ill snap a few pics of how bad the camber is.
now did you just order one bolt for each side or did you go with 2 each side. I know the top crash bolt is the one that you adjust.

I used one bolt per side.

I figured thats all thats needed. Im about to order the bolts here in a few.

hey guys. I got the stagg struts off ebay cause of some of the reviews were pretty good. my girlfriends 95 needed rear struts bad so I bought these and went to install the rears and had no isssues really but after installed and put all back together we noticed the massive negitive camber. took it to the shop for alignment and they said there was nothing they could do about fixing the camber. the guy there said it looks like the strut was way to long and pushing the arm down so far that there was no way to fix the problem. Has anyone else noticed this? her celica is a 95 st.
I installed everything right, Ive been working on cars for well over 10 years and suspension is my strong point.
anyone have some pointers on something like this.
The passenger side rear is more cambered in then the driver side is.
