Post a picture of your TOM`S racing pedals. Ps, I can rig up a blue ignition ring for you if you want, I have 2 spare clear rings, Toyota stopped putting them in Celicas after 1995, What I did was take a splice from the cigarette lighter power and run some wire through the dash plastics.

I think your ignition ring plastic might be black with no transparent bit....
Here's the difference, 1996 on the left, 1995 on the right: PS. When I looked at my pedals closer it had some stupid chinese on the top and levin(???????) on the bottom, definitely not TOM`S ... Eww. -------------------- Mike W

and thats in NZ dollars remember that. Yup thats all I paid for them as for shipping, it was FREE right to my door step and they arrived at my place in just 2 days after entering the country. I looked into Projectors, CPA in Wellington offered me a set for $880 brand new, NZD, I thought that sounded like a lot at the time. Bad call... |

I'm still happy with the price (still alot cheaper than everybody else/most people) that must have been quite a while ago then? aussie dollar isn't doing to good with NZ dollar?
Anyway a little update, parts arrive in the country in about 5-6 days time, now I want the get them just after New Years, just so theres no chance of them getting lost in the post, because of Xmas -------------------- |

I lived in Wellington at the time, it was about 12-18 months ago. Sorry, I wasn't suggesting you got a bad deal, more a slap of my own forehead at missing out on a good one! |

So is there a noticeable difference in handling performance between the stock strut brace and the TRD one?

umm yes and no, i've heard it works best at high speed cornering, if you take out & check your stock strutbrace you can see how much movement it has (which cant be good) if it doesn't do anything it still looks like it adds 20HP
its kind of hard for me to tell at the moment since i dont have my celica --- yup about 2weeks This post has been edited by Rusty: Feb 9, 2009 - 12:16 AM -------------------- |

You should be able to feel extra G's on your body from a stiffer setup... It looks like it would be very effective

aawww do I have too??? whether isn't that great........ i've just put those front indicators, in the end I had to get new bulbs as the US bulbs that came with it, had 2 filaments in them, where as ours only has 1. odd but they look & work very nice compared to the old ones.
a couple of my mates have seen it and the reckon it almost is a widebody on it, due to the angle of the sideskirts etc -------------------- |

I want to say it has more go-go but I don't know, but one thing for sure is that you can actually touch the extractors after going for a good run, I didn't notice the temp guage went down I still got the badge, im just back to cleaning, got some autogel/polish stuff to hep bring up the shine, or I have metallic paint, which we used on my brothers rocket cover on his e30 BMW turned out real nice, so I dunno, will put the badge back on soon till then it sits up on my bedside table -------------------- |

Well if your engine bay is cooler then your intake should be cooler, perhaps you'll notice it more at night.
I removed the heat shield from the SS-III too so the heat was also absorbed by the bonnet instead of being kept in, Probably wont do it on the GT-Four so crap doesn't drop through onto the engine. -------------------- Mike W

Beautiful. You keeping that rear wing? Hopefully a red GT4 or SS-III spoiler will come up, or even a two post wing and you could get the dimensions of the riser blocks and make it with fibreglass. Two post wings have different mounting holes so it will have to be professionally filled and drilled.
