I've got a vinyl steering wheel in good shape if you are interested, I know you are looking for a leather one, but this one is available and cheap if needed. Im looking for that wheel^ According to my for sale page, it looks like I still have my taillights still available but I will need to double check. Also, I don't want to separate them so you may need to purchase them as a set. I also have the four spoke steering wheel laying around somewhere. This I know I have for sure. You can find pictures for the taillights in my for sale thread and I can get you the steering wheel pictures by the end of this weekend. If you're interested, PM me your zip so i can run some shipping quotes for you. sent you a PM I have ONE passenger side tail light that I will sell you. replied to PM |

I'm not in a huge rush for everything. my steering wheel over the last few months has started to look real ****ty as the top seams separated, im sure it will get worse when summer hits. My tail light has a 1in hole punched in it from a part that was leaning on a wall falling over. I currently have a bandaid decal covering it. |

thanks for the help guys! i decided to set up my car this way -trd 3pt strut -gt4 rear strut -vincentdoggys trunk brace -BC coilovers just simple and fun for the canyon runs Here is even better advice. Install, 1 part at a time and go make a few runs. See how you like it, then install the next part. Do a few runs, see if it made it better or worse. If you slap all that **** on a one time you have failed. |

I don't think you will get a proper answer about suspension and actually racing a car on here. I can only think of 2 people on this forum who actually track their car and no I am not including autocross. Stay away from Megan/D2/K-Sport if you plan to actually track the car properly. They fail under track conditions, I have seen it occur. Tein will be your cheapest option and price point. |

Dude our cars are front wheel drive, not necessary to be super flush. My car is well over 3" drop. I have no excuses I have dropped over 30000 in parts and restoration into the celica with no issues no loans, straight up paid. Its not a money thing nor a preference thing. BTW rolling them does make it weaker when you roll them it loses its horizontal support. You could say whatever you want in this forum, you seem to be a cocky guy more of "its my style, this is how I like it, its cool, i got balls" when actually this site is suppose to be informative for the everyone. Stop trying to convince people, just becus they are giving you attention about your tucked car. Do you have any idea how many parts you will wear out or parts you will break by going that low and you did not say anything about consequences? I'd suggest you start helping people instead of promoting your personal ignorance. FWD, RWD, AWD, Golf Cart, Scooter, who cares. People mod their cars for their own style. Some of us like the flushed look. Spending 30,000 on your car is your purgative, I beat the **** out of mine. Therefore, I won't dump that cash. Do I know what parts I will wear out? I sure do, hence why I replaced most of them before giving my car its stance. I know this car inside and out, I wrench on it all the time and have for many years. Not helping this community? I wrote a thread on flush wheel fitment and adapters. I reply to PM's all the time about what is needed to fit a wheel properly and I reply in other people's threads about wheel fitment. I stay out of sections I don't have answers to. Stop reading replies to your posts as hate mail. You are making statements and I am giving you my rebuttal. That is how life works. I am not here because I need my ego stroked or people to drool over my car. It is what it is, not everyone will like it and I don't honestly care. It is clean and how I want it. I post pictures so people can see what can be done. For the record: There is no real reason any car, ever needs to have flush wheels, stretched tires and no wheel gap. But it is our style and what we want. Who cares if our cars are FWD. The OP asked for flushed Celicas and to post pics, so shut the hell up and keep to the OP. Harold and I have flushed celicas and we posted pics. Daily, Track, or Garage Queens, Snow, Sun, Rain or Shine, if you dont have a flushed celica or have no plans on doing it stay out of this thread. Easy as that.......some 2 cents just need to stay in the coin jar / quoted for emphasis. 3rd. I want to see full shots now. this is a forum where discussions are supposed to be made, arguments for and against. the OP title is "Any Flushed out celicas out there ????" 2 people (the only 2 who i've seen on these forums) who have been brave enough to do it have posted their pics and everyone else has said why there are not that many others out there. why then let the thread just die? why not carry on the discussion with pro's and con's? this isn't a "reserved for" forum it's a public forum, people should be able to post what they want in this thread as long as its kept on topic which so far it has. one other point, in the UK 808's car would be illegal due to the amount the wheels stick out of the arches, wheels should be within the arch, Harold's looks like it would be fine though. If I where to take my camber back to 0 it would stick out of the fenders. 808 just needs to make some negative camber adjustments and he will be good to go. |

@ trd: I think you are making excuses as to why YOU don't want to do it. That is how I am reading your replies. Rolling your fenders does little to practicality or the flexibility of your fender. Cutting them does weaken them, if you roll them a bit you still have that support. I daily my car, it is the only car I have. I take it on gravel/dirt when I head to mountain biking places. I stuff 4 fixies in the trunk with 4 riders when I go to races. I put golf clubs, lacrosse goals/equipment for practice, etc... of course, all fads are not practical. OEM is practical, anything after that is unnecessary and for style. |

Just check out 808's Celica. Thats a nice and flush Celica, best on here i think. nope Harold_Fastwalker's 6 is better than mines awwww, thanks sweetie. #1, if you run flush wheels you have to raise your car #2, you would have to cut or roll your fenders real good to fit flush wheels to maintain a nice and low ride I wouldn't do #1 just to go super flush like a drift car, I wouldn't do #2 its about preference and practicality. we don't have 240s where our fender rim is narrow and thin to accomodate it that easily. #1 - no, you don't have to raise your car. #2 - yes, you HAVE to roll your fenders, front and rear. Cutting is a dumb idea, you can roll them in 30 minutes and be done with it. #3 - we have wide fenders, which means we can fit wider wheels. very hard to do on celica due to rally car chassis with large arches it works just fine, other wise I would be breaking newtons laws or something like that. We have tall arches, but tire choice fixes that issue. Don't stretch a 35 series tire on a 17in wheel and it will look fine. |

Nothing going on in the tuner industry today is NEW. Hellaflush is nothing special, it has been around for 30+ years in Japan. Just American's coined the dumbest term possible for it. It has only gone mainstream in the US market because of it being the bandwagon now. Patina cars are the same way (rusted hoods, busted up fenders) they have been around for years too. The difference: Internet and digital cameras. Now when someone sees a car they like they can duplicate it. No longer do you drive around unaware of the guy 6 states over with a badass build. P.S. Yuta's Z has been primed and painted with a different set of wheels now. |

You can raise the car back up a 1/4 inch, probably the easiest thing. I rolled and pulled my fenders. Then hacked the liner plastic up so the only part left covers the engine side. I hacked up the rear liner as well for my fitment. |

depends on what the decal is. My best guess, the trash can. Second option is the 3/4 windows. If it is a Shocker sticker, then it definitely goes in the trash can, but make sure you rip it up in to pieces first. |

I'm not sure if it's the same when applying a coilover versus a strut and spring, but if you're reaaaaalllly careful, you won't need replacement ones. I'm still on my OEM units. You dont have to replace them. Mine was rusted over and the allen key stripped, so I took it off from the sway bar and just bought a new one. |

Megans are a good choice. As for end links, get whatever, there is no "special" one. I bought oem spec from Advance Auto. |
