At this point with the money I spent, some always goes to restoration and replacements, damn could've easily bought a 350z or something.

Rustyyyyyyyy.... I'm sure you're already aware of this but with the 5k you'd get for your SS-II and the money you spent on your body kit, you could have a 1998 Toyota Celica SS-III with a Yamaha Tuned Beams 4th gen 3S-GE, Super Strut Suspension, Viscous LSD, white gauges, red seats, front splitters, side skirts, rear splitters, front grille, SS-III badge, WRC extender spoiler with SS-III stickers, 3 silver trim pieces, front and rear strut braces with correct covers and padding on the bar, and a 3 spoke air bag steering wheel with thumb contours and ventilated leather stitch.

~~~~~~~

Meh I still rather have mine, my 3point TRD strut brace (doesn't fit with a Beams aswell as other parts) Viscous LSD (craps out after so my km) Super Strut Suspension (is a pain as you've found out trying to get lowering springs) and its got power potential (cant get rid of VVT-i for larger cams that easily the part to disable VVT-i is discounted)

A weird thing came up today, A mate of mine came to me with a "Camber control arm" which had a worn out bush looking for info on how to fix it, It struck me hard when I realised after we raided pick-a-part for it's 5th gen cellys, coronas, camrys, anything that might have the part we needed, that the item cannot be found in a wrecking yard since it is what I know as the "Figure of 8 Link" which pertains to superstrut suspension... I could have sworn the whole time he had an SS-II... I wondered why he had 2 pot calipers too... My superstrut is on it's way out too i fear frown.gif for the good kms i had it was mighty fun to take a full lock corner in 1st gear foot flat entering the corner with already 4000 rpm up on the tach. Ahhhhhhh the sound of the motor bogging down as LSD and super strut fight to distribute power to the right place and then all of a sudden ACIS coming on with power band and a good ping off the limiter "NUNUNUNUNUNUNUNNNNNNN" and slap 2nd gear with a power dump on a fairly new clutch "ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*screech*" Lol, SS-I used to understeer and go off the road tongue.gif
