Again, nice pictures, but there's no need to post the same thing twice.

[johnnehh]

Looks nice. I dig it

[TiGZ461]

Double post?

Cross posting huh? I shall report you.







kidding, but no need to open another thread of the same thing though.

take the spoiler off and throw some blocks and 94-95 spoiler on there it'll look better.

I was actually considering raiser blocks in the beginning, but i like the supra inspired wing better. plus my budget was way too low for raiser blocks anyway.. i still have my stock wing but its just sittin in the garage now.

[TiGZ461]

Wish my car brought that spoiler stock, I have a 96 so I have the 3 post spoiler and I have to drill my own holes to put on the 2 post spoiler which sucks.

Blocks ain't all that expensive $130 shipped

There is a celica at my school that is white with the same spoiler, I thought that was your car actually. However the one I see is pretty low. Nice looking celica man!

[sunwukongg]

look in the buying/selling thread. there should be a FS custom decals thread. the guys account is "decalsondemand" he custom made it for me. originally it said "i love my supra" but since the celica looks like a supra, i asked him to change the words to celica for me i LOVE it

ordered my Megan Racing coilovers Wednesday night. hoping to receive them by tomorrow

[HectortheRican]

Man you're lucky that upscale had them in stock. I ordered mine on May 18th and they were on back order. Initially, the wait was 3 weeks. It kept getting extended and extended and it turned into 11 weeks. Then when they were supposed to be in America from Taiwan, they unloaded the truck and they weren't there. Turns out the dumba$$es in Taiwan duped up the load and didn't get the container of the Celica coils onto the truck. That really pissed me off so I cancelled my order LOL.

[HectortheRican]

Told ya! Mannn, I'm so jealous right now. Be careful with your rear endlinks. If I were you, I'd replace them. I already have brand new Racing Beat ones for when I can get my BC coils.

[jordisonjr]

^Howcome you suggest replacing endlinks?

[HectortheRican]

Well because you're putting performance suspension parts on your car. It'll be lower, and more than likely stiffer. The endlinks connect from the rear struts to the rear sway bar. There'll be more of a load on them because of the different suspension characteristics and the performance endlinks will handle it better.

[mak5603]

Hope to see pics of those installed tonight!

So does that mean they should be shorter than stock as well?
I've never really gotten a good grasp on the concept of upgrading endlinks.
Mine are after market as well, but the factory length.

From what I know off the top of my head, you want to put them at whatever length necessary to keep slack out of the sway bar.

[HectortheRican]

x2

You don't want a lot of preload on the swaybar since it's a DD, you know? That'll make the suspension go bad faster. A safe bet would be to make the new endlinks the same length as the old ones.

[sunwukongg]

where can i get these endlinks?

[HectortheRican]

where can i get these endlinks?

These are the exact ones I have. They're for a Mazda Miata, but the rears work on our cars. Plenty of other members have them on theirs

http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmiata.htm

the endlinks should be the last product on the line. Click on the link that says "1990-97 Front/1990-05 Rear"

got my coilovers installed will post pictures tomorrow after carwash.

[sunwukongg]

didn't get a carwash because it was raining. but i got some photos of it tonight. this is the out of the box height of the megan coilovers installed on my car. took about 4 hours to install with a buddy. front brake lines didnt mount up so i used stainless steel zipties. the rears mount up perfectly however wouldve been faster if the old bolts and nuts werent so stubborn >:( its hard to tell cause its night time how low it got. but basically before there was a 4 finger wheel gap. and now i cant even put my finger in. the rear was 2 1/2 finger gap, and now i cant put my finger in there either. damper adjustment to 26. pretty stiff already, but i LOVELOVELOVE the handling now i feel MUCH safer taking corners and much more confident.

[sunwukongg]

forgot to mention that i swapped out my old muffler a while back for a carbon fiber burnt tip nrg muffler . the muffler i previously had(Greddy Evo 2) sounded louder and was a lot larger, but it got messed up.


and a random picture i took today

^means it includes front AND rear for $59 correct? and both the front and rear endlinks here work for the celica?

Nononono. ONLY the rear Miata ones will work for our cars. The only reason they're even an option is because they're thicker than the rear ones for Celicas. I'm not sure why the Miata fronts don't work for us, but they don't. You'll get the rear pair for $59. It's better than going to AutoZone and getting ones of the Celica of equal performance, I checked. The Moog rears for our cars, $65... EACH. Hell no. Lol

hey dude. you live in westminster?!! thats pic you randomly took of your car is right next to the 22 fwy on the other side of the toyota dealer. Your cars in front of the indoor/outdoor soccer place right. I next to cypress high school. Tires looked sucked in unfortunately. although very nice drop and you didn't even lower it.

Are you saying that the rear miata's are thicker than the two's r us???

[HectortheRican]

Yup lol. There was a thread on this in the Suspension/Handling section.

yea thats where i was. haha. it was right next to bolsa grande high school(my old highschool). what do you mean i didnt lower it? its on megan coilovers(out of box height). haha. im dropping it more sunday. its much lower than stock height

[HectortheRican]

I think he meant you didn't drop it from the factory drop lol. Still looks good though!

[mkernz22]

so what front endlinks fit out cars then?

[HectortheRican]

I don't know of any front endlinks that'll fit our cars that are actually for other models, so any 94-99 FWD Celica front endlinks would work haha.

[mak5603]

Twos r' us ST185 front and rear end links work.

nice rims I give them a

Those rims have a offset of +42 thats why they looked sucked in. I would recommend getting some 10 mm spacers front and back, but they will cost you around $220. I see that you have listed racing beat end links, remember those only come for the rears. They are priced at around $70 and the two's r us links are around $80 for both the front and the rear.

Also I agree your supra spoiler was a good buy and it suits the cars look very well at the moment. Once you put sideskirts on I think you should get the SS-III Raiser blocks. Is that you in the pic with crazy spikey hair the asain dude??

that's my little brother. but my hairs pretty similar. ahha and where is a good site for spacers?

[BonzaiCelica]

There are 4 types of different spacers. Mine are the best you can buy and the most durable. Mine came with extended studs, they are called hubcentric wheel spacers is what you want to look for. check out the post in the wheel offset guide there is a link there well never mind here is the link between different wheel spacers.

No man, not $60 spacers. They'd probably be made of acrylic or something for that price LOL. I got my Racing Beat Miata rear endlinks for $60.

[Sebby]

I like your Celi. Those rims looks awesome!

[BonzaiCelica]

I like your Celi. Those rims looks awesome!

ya right! they are somewhat light, weighing in at only 17lbs

[sunwukongg]

need help! im thinking about getting these hellaflush spacers. http://fatlace.3dcartstores.com/WPN-R-x-HE...20mm_p_525.html


im running 17x7 rims with a +42 offset and want it to sit flush. my car is dropped on megan coils with 205/40/17. im thinking about a 15mm or 20mm spacer. which would you guys recommend? id rather not roll my fenders but if i have to ill take it to a shop to do that too. so if i wanted this itd be the 54.1 x 15mm with 5x100 correct?

[HectortheRican]

10 -8

On your 17x7, +42mm wheels, hellaflush would be +10mm front, -8mm rear

So 32mm spacer for front, 50mm spacer rear

Sorry to say, but that will MURDER your wheel bearings.

So if you truly want hellaflush, get wider wheels with better offsets. But to sit just more functionally flush, I'd say do 15mm upfront and 20 or 25 mm for rear

im trying to say that the spacers are made BY hellaflush. they just released spacers. the link up there are spacers with the brand HELLAFLUSH. im not going hellaflush with my car. lol. 15mm front and 20mm rear sounds perfect. thanks! and the hub centric ring for it would be 54.1 x 15mm right? also, will i be needing extended lugs?

Lol! Hector needs to learn to read better. And I'm pretty sure that for anything higher than 10mm, you'll need extended lugs. I know the hub is 54.1, I've never seen anything on the 2nd dimension. I'm guess that has to do with the spacer?

[sunwukongg]

lol. sunwukongg thinks hector needs to stop talking in 3rd person too.

spacers is no longer important to my list. things i gotta do right now are:

1.jdm tails
2.drop moar on the megans
3. alignment + camber bolts..

[BonzaiCelica]

ya man looks better than the supra spoiler. perhaps way better! sorry to hear about your job situation. Hopefully you can find something soon, so you can be back at it with the celica. You need to put stock spoiler back on with some euro block raisers or shave down the gt4/SS-III raiser blocks halfway and it will look the best that way
