Hey all,
My name is will, live in ireland and drive a 96 SS2! had it near a month now imported it from japan, after coming from a 280bhp s13 200sx the power drop was a little disheartening but the comfort and lower running costs (yes i ran the 200 and now the celica as my daily  ) more than make up for it!today i changed the wheels on it coz i hit a very deep pothole 3 days ago and cracked 2 of the circlar rims that came on the car  and was quoted €3000 to replace the set which i simply dont have! swapped the super strut suspension back to standard today too coz its always knocking, im not prepared to pay €2500 to replace it with new parts and i want coilovers too just want to tidy it and use it as a daily cruiser, im building a V8 E36 for my power pangs thanks for reading! |

@parriehunter: thanks mate
modifying an M62B35 ie 535i V8 to run on TBs with megasquirt and the like. its really just a testbed car for myself and 2 of my mates to try out new ideas on. its a bit ghetto.. but what can you do  @manphibian: its very easy! whip off subframe and top mounts, remove rack (and ARB for a bit of clearance) swap over and bobs your uncle! i know im a mechanic and all but it took me 6 hours, but i was going very slowly watching as i went along how best to do it next and taking loads of breaks for food and to stretch tyres onto rims using hairspray! |

Well if you ever do it again, take loads of pics. I reckon there are hundreds of GT-4 owners facing £2k ss bills that would love to know
