its all good mitchy yeah i think they are worth it and i got HID 6000k in them in both the low and high beam and i see everything.....lol cop cars come up so early at night cause the HID just reflects of the hi vis orange on all emergency vehicles now.

cheers for the comments guys. just needs the engine now.....maybe some in the later half of next year i think unless the 5s-fe lets go then i HAVE to do it....lol

that engine isn't in yet...was going to start it very soon but due to the world money thingy atm i through i'd save that money for "just in case" Australia is one of the least affected countries so far but i'm in the constrution trade (a brickie's apprentice) and yeah I'll hold off till i can.

Ah ok sweet, thanks about the raiser block info...i'm now a bit iffy on if i should get them cause i might not do 205 bonnet and bumper for a while if at all now and keep her sleeper-ish if u know what i mean....

Whiteline uprated sway bar may be on the card soon not sure....apartently whiteline stop making the front one so i really only want if ti both so it a balanced car.

She now has Full st205 Brakes front and rear now...the fronts were old and seen better days so i took them off re painted them gave them EBC Red Stuff Ceramic Pads and EBC slotted rotors......

Thanks to Arron (lubu for selling me his st205 rear brakes and everything needed...it is a bolt on conversion just needing to piss the dust shield off and the 5.5mm spacers and done...Enjoy the PICS



Giving them there last hint of hot 30 degree sun shine before they went on.



ST204 rear on the left and ST205 rear on the right... a big difference in size and they all machined and cleaned up.



The EBC slotted front rotors machined down to 300mm....and the ebc red stuff pad in my hand.



front all back together and bolted up.



the new rears are a get match to go with the st205 front and they all help in the braking too...





It had been a while since i gave the celica some TLC and so this morning gave her a wash, quick clay buff in areas needed, polish and wax and tyre shine....she is awesome now.

The Ceramic red stuff pads are awesome and just love the hard and fast braking....they do hate the soft traffic braking...they squeel something real bad. (aka cruising surfers and spit etc).

The rears have leveled out the car a bit when braking which is awesome and so they're doing their job helping out the fronts too.

This with ARD approved Road and Track braided brake lines this thing probably take on a evo or sti in braking....just awesome power and stops on a dime.

Just need the suspension and power to go with them. :lolhit:

Cheers people.

COILOVERS that is....



BC coilovers type BR or something like that. they are awesome and use steel lower bits so they stronger than the normal ali ones



The tops of them...front camber adjustable and the rear have a sloted upper bolt hole so they can adjust the camber of the rear too.



A rear one installed.



The end result much nicer looking closer to the ground.



Another Angle



The strut tops with camber adjustment with the perfect partner TRD strut brace.

thanks man.

but yeah i see how it goes when it lowered on tein SS then yeah i want gt-four/serise2 frotn bar (like malpaso) and a gt-four raiser blocks but the gt-four bit filled in or see if i can get gt-two...lol then a gt-four bonnet and then see if i want to put the front and rear corner flar things and then skirts to go with.


we'll see how it goes....

i got a 140.9 in an offical db drag comp in a borrowed big port box with the same 12in sub.

well when you say backwards what do you exactly mean cause i can't see how the engine will run at all...i mean how the cam gear bolts to it and then there should be a pin for hte cam gear to slot in to and yeah you just can't install them backwards.......

also on the intake cam it can't to because the dizzy need to slot in to get the right timing and all that.

maybe it was the wrong cams and they are really really tall in the lobs or yeah not torqued down right.......i've heard of cams snapping cause people not torquing down in the right sequence.

i hope she all sorts out and you get her on the road man.

stock 205 and 204 with stock 205 engine and that mr2 lsd perfect conditions means the fwd will launch pretty well and should easily pass the 205 by 1000foot mark.....

swaped cars "or gt-twos" arn't that bad to launch in perfect conditions i have even held up good to modded evo 6's back in the day of my st162 swap on crap australian traffic light roads...... and yeah most stock awd cars high revs drop cluthc equals fry of the clutch or a bog down......

also moded both 205 is still not the clear winner....if u gonna go mod the 205 for suspension and launching and all that lots more power you get the same if not more at the wheels power from the 204 cause of the drive train loses (lack off compared to the 205) and the 204 would have some radial drag slicks and even maybe blot a wheel bar and or have some adjustable rear shocks or get springs and make the rear stiff as all buggery and yeah lots of variables but the fwd can get a lot of traction with mods just like modding a 205 and the 204 has the two of the three main factors for 1/4 wins....weight and power the gt-four onyl has traction and as long the 204 gets some of it it will win.

but then there is another stage when the gt-four will own and that is in examples like Tuffys 600hp+ 205 for a 204 with 600hp to get the traction needed to beat that even with the weight advantage would take drag slicks and drag suspension set up and a half.....

but back to stock for stock with drivers that have owned for a while and know how to get the best from there car...i'll still put my money on the 204 swap.

the brace its self TO-5360520020 $156.00 +10% Aussie GST
the caps "cover end for brace" is the description TO-6433320160-CO (the CO is for the colour of the trim..CO is black) $29.75 + 10% Aussie GST
the leather padded leather cover for the brace TO-6434220160-CO "brace cover" wait for it....lol....205.00 + 10% Aussie GST

update...TRD front brace in.....







stocko....


TRD strut brace Installed

well i'm half yank so yeah i feel there pain....lol

but yeah ebay is your friend there...toyota want about $550AUD for the 4 pieces needs....i got them at about the start of the year so if u find them now (JDM parts stores on ebay...look in ebay.com not ebay.com.au and most send to Australia cause they are in USD but based in japan/ HK so yeah should be a bit cheap now i got mine for 380ish AUD 2nd hand but in very good condition but from one little bit that is easy to ignore and not that bad.

wellt eh bottom end was 5600 ish with the cam gears and all parts and everything i supplied the block (the ACL pistons are really custom sort of ones ACL use ROSS blank pistons and then machine them to your compression and all that stuff you/your engine builder wants.

the head was a used item about 5000km on her with all cams, up rated springs and valve 3 angle grind and that with the 550cc injectors for 1200 from another celica person on the aussie celica forum and gets his engine and that particular head built and machined from the same place the bottom end did.

the turbo was $1000 i gave them one stuffed group a st185 steel turbin wheel ct26 they gave one all rebuilt all new bearing and seals blanced, with a to4e 57trim compressor wheel and the turbin cliped (he said it was already a bit cliped) and i think he was right cause she is one laggy ct26 but flows some top end power...

that engine made 202hp @ the front wheels with some ingintion brake down i think (running a bit wried), 2in FMIC cooler piping, 8-9psi, and the only 3in bit of the zorst is the ebay dump (aussie copy) and 3in stright through muffler the rest of the system was 2-2.5in press bent ohhh the flex pipe was a 3in item.... and it was leaking a little bit of boost near the throttle body....so yeah i think on 10-12psi all that **** fix 250 would have be realistic and then would have taken her to 20psi only thing holding it back was the turbo....about 20-23psi the turbo guy siad she "should" be good for and still in the good compressor islands and the 550cc injecotrs they would be maxed out at 350ish hp....

cheers mate....

This is the engine specs of the 3s-gte is waiting to be put in her....

Full forged bottom end with (built by Road and Track)
- ACL Race series Pistons (0.5mm over sized and rings @ 8.5:1 Compression ratio)
- Eagle H-Beam rods
- ACL race serise main and big end bearins
- Block decked, crack tested all the stuff tunnel bored for trueness, 0.5mm over bored, crank cryo treated and ground grinded etc
- New oil pump with pressure uprated
- HKS 1.6mm metal head gasket
- Fidanza adjustable cam gears
- Gates racing uprated timing belt
- New water pump
- New idler and tension pullys
- 266degree duration inlet and exhaust cams and both about 10mm lift
- Uprated valve springs and exhast port ported and polished,
- 2JZ US spec 550cc injectors
- Bored out (high flowed) fuel rail
- Custom modified oil sump extra 700-1000mls
- Improved windage tray

Going to push the limits of the ct26 turbo see what you can get out of it....then a full custom steam pipe manifold and Turbonetics GKR-500 serise turbo or a T67-25g 10cm rear will be used with a turbosmart sleeper serise 50mm gate to atmo....and maybe a better ecu over the old microtech or a newer and more output/input one

thanks guys. she's getting there all boring now till the 3s-gte goes in....just updated i just pulled 135.4 db in that small box on prodigy as a street stock A class car......i'm doing all the db stuff and that atm as somethign to do while she isn't a dyno queen or 1/4 bitch.....lol

Hey everyone....Hi doctor NEZ BANG....lol

Well since i have had my 6th gen in August last year after my $30,000 spent total 1988 celica GT-Two got totaled by a stray horse at 3.30am the Yellow st204 "Team Europe" edition Australian sold celica has been getting some goodies and i thought I would liek to share with all you guys and since i'm bored **** less on a sat night (no money (been getting ripped off by builders so no pay for 2 weeks)) i can't go to the casino tonight for my mates birthday...so what perfect time to write up this thread.....

Firstly if you guys haven't seen it already my old girl...the red 1988 SX (GT-S) GT-TWO....







then the horse hit it.....



Today i just pulled the engine out (been very busy and also very slack too and yeah.....it still on the tractor hanging off the front bucket well put it on the engine stand tomorrow and start pulling some stuff off and cleaning it up....

Now the celica as i brought it in August 2007.....





this is about 200 yards to the left of my house i get the same veiw of the city center of the GOLD COAST in Queensland, AUS (the place the champ car round is held in the streets)

Next pics from from a mountain about 40mins away from the ones before and is much closer to the coast and doesn't have other mountains in front....lol







Then i Got some ebay clear quater panel turns...they very nice...



Then my JDM tails



My wheel bearing then deiced to **** thy selves but i had 10,000km old one in the st162 wreak so we bolted the whole hub and that in...just swaped the wheel bearing bracket that bolts to the lower control arm...what else attached to my st162 hubs......the st205 4 piston calipers and machined down to 300mm rotors....awesome stuff...also the rims....



i also fitted the inch bolt on spacers i had on the back of the st162 tot eh st204 so the rear wheels are right nice with the arches and that...looks hot...

Then i fitted my stereo components from the st162 wreak and brought some new stuff as well... Alpine CDA 9855R and 4th gen 40gb ipod wired to to the Ainet connection of the Head Unit and wired up to charge the ipod when driving....



My Blaupunkt Veloctiy DVC 500w RMS sub in a small fiber glass box custom built by me moulded to the st204 trim.



I'll list the full stereo list later down the thread or that....

Next is the St205 GT-FOUR rear strut brace with the proper trim pieces....



Next is JDM metal "celica" door sills. They are HOT!!!!





Next i painted the rear st204 brakes to suit the red painted st205 ones i have on the front and also got ADR (Australian Design Rules) Approved braided brake lines (In Australia we have "design rules" for all car and safety type stuff so everyone is made to a standard and saves on law suits and all that crap if stuff goes wrong. also i'm still covered by insurance with them and not just some internet brought ones.







I just finished installing my JDM head lights (low beam projectors and clear lense high beam) and also DDM slim line ballast HID kits for both low and high beam in 6000K colour temp.....

I hope you like, Have a good one...BTW going to the casino now...lol...

its now twin charged...M90 SC and twin turboed....







makes 377kw (505hp) @ just over 12psi and has 250kw (335hp) @ only 3000rpm



it well spins in top end on the dyno....lol

also a 1/4 mile clip 11.74 @ 122mph

it is possible with money or know your **** and do it all your self like this guy in Australia...this is in a st185 (so has the rear diff and that already....

it is a proper rare group a too!

a 1uz-fTTe (yes it is twin turboed lexus 4litre DOCH V8.

Justin's V8 TT Group A RWD Celica

there 18/19in p zero rosso's or something getting the burn of their life......

man she is awesome.....it has espied me to do the same...i love the look! i always wanted the gt-four raiser blocks but was gonna shave the gt-four off too....all the best with her mate.

cheers for that pic....shows that the version II one (4 connection points) fits a non -st205 gt-four cause on the cusco catalog the only version 2 listed for st20X celica's is for St205 only.....proven wrong....but thats a goog thing.




for those who don't what i'm going on about with version I and version II lower arm bar....

**** man that engine bay is so clean i love it.....and love the dump pipe running man should have more with her spooling up like that....i hope to get mine running end of this year or soo...

great stuff mate...keep it up.

love the front and rear brake bias system...very illegal on the roads in Australia.

sorry mate....but thanks for the link! your a champ!

yeah i thought they would make a bad rattle but they really don't my mates have d2's and a s2 s14 and evo 6 they handle good but yeah i want tein's (i found a place that will deliver with efdc and the motors all that for about 2000-2100 based on our AUD to YEN at the time. and i want green to go with the yellow..aussie aussie aussie...oi oi oi...lol

my bad i didn't get brand new and also i didn't see the bump that sperates the metal and plastic bits in the blue one thats all....also any idea on the TRD strut brace part number?

cause most coil-over are on Japanese RWD cars like supra's skylines, 180sx (240sx for you guys in states, 300zx etc.... and that single bolt bit is for where that bolt to hub assembly for a rwd car with the drive shaft and that....it s simple effective design....celica's (FWD ones...not sure about 7th gens but all the st serise ones (4,5,6th gens) and probably other cars the rear hub assembly is much like the front with a almost mcferson strut set up....that is the reason why.

i have the ones in the 2nd picture they are toyota items but the metal "CELICA" ones inthe first pic seam to be custom cause the whole thing is metal and one piece....never seen them before.


can you EPC the TRD front 3 pt (triangle type with 3 bars) strut brace like this one....



i would love a part number for this baby!
