For a second there I thought You converted your Car to look like the last Pic.

[laff09]

Is that a mid-50s vette? or just a kit car?

Yeap, but here in my country ST is like the 2% of the production of celicas.... it's very difficult see one ST here... but i could sell the rear disc to owners of chrysler neon or Chevy Cavalier....


Anyone wants those rear disc conversion????

[95CelicaST]

all the payment is comming from my wallet

[95CelicaST]

Even after someone hit YOU? Shouldn't the person who hit you be paying for this?

different countries different laws


last time I visit my country I saw a Pick-up truck hit this dude riding a motorcicle, the dude fell of the bike, was bleeding like crazy and the driver of the pick up came out of the vehicule, give the dude on the floor RD$2500.00 pesos ( less than US$100.00 ) and everybody was happy. no insurance, no police, nothing. How much would something like that cost ?

[laff09]

A truck hitting a motorcylist with personal injury involved? Anywhere from $10,000 to a couple million, depending on the occupation of the motorcylist and his "loss of happiness". Basically the better the lawyer, the more your going to see.

if it's done with the proper materials and done right, that's not expensive at all.

I thought they'd just take that rear - splice it onto the current frame seal it up, paint it, and you'd be on your way... I guess this way works too... lol

What are you doing with the rest of your rear clip?
