Well suspension technique is in america and shipping would be very expensive. Whiteline is in australia and shipping was alot cheaper. Well celicas fwd understeer, so logically you get a rear sway bay to get a netural effect. On medium it would be 20mm and on hard it would be 21mm.

I rekon this would make a massive change waiting for the weekend to get it on. And i might man up and get my tyres in the next couple of days and watch my bank acc. plummet back down again

its never ending bar look awesome by the way!

[BonzaiCelica]

True that on the shipping, ya its pretty dumb how whiteline wouldnt make a front sway bar. ya me too Im holding off on buying yoko s drives for my celica for a little longer. My right rear so so lopsided its bad.

i have one of those, bit of a twat to remove/fit if you can't removed the exhaust rear section, i had to half drop my fuel tank and waggle and spin it till i was blue in the face before i got the old one clear of the car

[96stgreendemon]

let me know how this thing handles after the swaybar goes on, your cars set up suspension wise is similar to mine, this may be my next thing

Trying out my stock 15x7 again. Surely they dont look too bad right? They are gutter rashed like no tomorrow so i going to do a DIY and attempt to repair them myself in my spare time. I was thinking... me being a tight cunt repair them myself and start rolling on them again with the semi's i want in 15" sizes so it will be cheaper haha.

[HectortheRican]

Why do you keep changing you wheels bro? I understand why you changed the Rotas out, I remember you having a rubbing problem with them. But the 7gc wheels still looked pretty sharp and they're smaller than those Rotas. Just wondering!

[whatthe]

I was bored today and wanted to see how my celica would look with the ride height now with stockies. And the fact that i do plan o repairing them myself and wraped some street semis on them cause 15" street semis will be cheaper than 16" street semis. Im changing over to my 7gen rims now as we speak, just having a break haha.

Ahh gotcha... must be nice and bright over there now. It's almost 12:30am here, I'm gonna sleep

[whatthe]

so after work... I was driving and noticed a crack on my front windscreen. Its cracked on the side running in, and apparently it cant be repaired as its too close to the side. And its only going to crack more the more vibrantions the car gets. The car gets lots of vibratations since i run on ****ing stiff coilovers. So ****ing over this ****, not sure what caused it if it was natural causes (tress etc.) or a jealous fag. But im leaning towards a tree.

So now im looking for a new front windscreen.


I really want a daily now... my bad luck is getting out of control!!!!!!![/

intersting so no stone chip, haven't put the heater on when the cars cold...

sorry to hear, and I hope noones damaged your celica intentionally.

[whatthe]

Well theres a tiny stone chip, but not enough to make such a big impact to crack my windscreen. But then i wouldnt know that much about this. It could be.

[HectortheRican]

I know your pain. I had to replace my windshield in March.

[SwissFerdi]

Your insurance doesn't do free windshield replacement? Mine does.

[whatthe]

Alrightttiee 595rs-rs are on. Havnt really had a go at their limits but i can feel they are going to be hella alot of fun. Woke up at 7:30am haha and got my ass down to a tyre shop that had stock for the price i wanted i didnt get home till midday. ****ing employees work so sloww and work with ciggies in their hands its like wtf. They were hoisting my car up and forgot to put one of the mounts on (its hard to explain) and was so dam ****ing close to cracking my sideskirt (i heard a cracckkk and was like DUUUUDE its not working).

Anyway tyres are on. And hopefully get the sway bar in tomorrow morning and hello twisties! And hopefully no more bad luck from here on out.
