It's come along way!!! Spoilerless, lowered.... NICE!

[Tigawoods]

yeah i def skipped that page when i was searching around. AND I EVEN POSTED RIGHT AFTER YOU POSTED THE PICS!!! LOL
it was on 5 tho
got what i needed

[whatthe]

Japan arrived at my door.

[Rusty]

at first I was going to say whiteline swaybar, but then I saw "Japan". I cant think what it is.

Can you give us a glue??

[delusionz]

yeah give us a glue

I couldn't figure it out last night, I still can't figure out now what Celica part is that size. Celica Hypersports floor mats maybe?

[Rusty]

^ I think he already has those, cant think whats left to change on that car now...

[delusionz]

Just looking through, I don't see anywhere where he's added the JDM floor mats.

Damn though, He's done every aesthetic + handling mod to his ST204 that I wish I had on my ST205.

Also curious to know how he went from a 3-post spoiler to a 2-post and went about filling and drilling the holes becuase I didn't do such a great job on mine, Just lucky theres nothing visible with the spoiler installed.

Guess I've always figured, when it comes down to it I can always get a '94 hatch when I have the time and money to spare.

Well, I'd really like a glue as to the contents of that box.

[whatthe]

Okay guys, ill give you a "glue" since *fingers crossed* i hope to put it on today after work. Its blue.

Oh yeh im pretty pissed off i got fined by a ranger for AU$185 or so at a no stopping zone. Left my car for 4 minutes to buy a kebab and there he was like a crossbred ninja hawk. ARGH RAGE.

[SwissFerdi]

Rear Swaybar hopefully?

[Rusty]

JDM shipping foam??


suspension bushes, structural brace/s, camber bolts, spacers

[whatthe]

This cusco 4 point lower arm brace was a mofo to get on. Hardest nuts were the ones for the front two, that connects to the rod and knuckle. I would rate this worse than the coilover job. Nothing noticed yet, well i havnt even driven the car hard so you cant expect much out of it. And wont be entered corners as hard as i was as confident before until i get some rubber, something ALOT stickier down the track... (RE001s or KU36s)

Not much pics of the install but yeh, took me 4 -5hours?

Well this might be the last mod for a while, parents have gone sour and HATE my car... with me spending too much on it.
Right now driving it, enjoying it and most importantly having fun in it. Will possibly be enrolling in some advance and defensive driving courses and learn a few things and have some fun

Up she goes again.

Haha I went for the 2pt instead of 4pt for the exact reason of, being a total bitch to install. It makes a tiny little difference, not so much a wow, but just stiffens.

You got a rear swaybar?

[whatthe]

Not yet Cal got my eyes set on the whiteline rear one, heard great things about it. But all in due time....

Yeh, its great being adjustable; 3 settings. Plus, a rear swaybar IMO is the best suspension for a FWD, more so than coilovers. ***FLAMESUIT***

That your bike?

[whatthe]

Nope, not my bike. Ill **** my pants riding a bike. Its my mates. Oh really you think so highly of the rear sway bar hmmm. But yeh still having lots of fun with the coilovers throwing her around left and right and obeying.

[NGHTKD]

Coilovers are great, reduces bodyroll but still UNDERSTEER.

Also drop the line with your parents: "Well atleast I don't waste money on drugs, drinking or partying"

[johnnehh]

Nice! Looks great!
