  1. Going to be ready for 4,6 and rotor nats later this year
  2. The t3 ps arms give you a crazy 1.5 turns lock to lock on the ke55 on the inboard tie rod point, prob going to try them in my bros 35, he has a little more room with the brake/strut combo he got of Ryan
  3. Only thing I could get today was the ra40s, I'm also running the t3 40mm RCA's.
  4. Cheers, its getting there, put the coilovers in over the last couple of days, had a few dramas with the rotors rubbing on the lcas, so I came to the conclusion that you can't use t3 ae86 ps arms with rt132 struts in a 55, you need ra40 steering arms to stop the rub. With the t3 camber tops its possible to get what looks like 4 deg of negative camber which is a bit much, but nice to have the option
  5. Oh and techno toy tuning camber tops, rcas and ae86 ps arms
  6. Coilovers finished, rt132 struts, hsd coilover kit 5kg, dimple drilled rotors, braided lines
  7. Finished rebuilding the calipers today, just waiting on new brake lines and the coilovers can go in.
  8. Bit more progress, put in the kyb shocks in the rear and finished welding up the intercooler pipes
  9. Evan, the gland nuts that came with my kyb sw20 shocks are correct for my struts, everyone told me that I needed r31's as well but these are correct, I don't know if the rt132 struts have a different thread to the xt130, but I doubt it, everything else is the same. All you need is a peice of round aluminum 45mm long and it should go together. Mark, the s15 seats aren't that hard to fit if you have access to a decent range of steel, a welder and plenty of time, they mount to the side of the seat on the trans tunnel side of the seat and to the bottom on the other side, none of the holes line up across the seat so you need to pick a datum point and measure from there, I basically have a complete frame welded under the seats made from 6mm stainless steel then the corolla rails bolt to that. If you have a sedan I would recommend s4/5 rx7 seats, the only require one hole drilled in each of the corolla rails, them they bolt in, they sit too high in the coupe for me. I wish I took a photo of the mount I made. .
  10. Nah, going to run an aluminum spacers underneath, should be low enough
  11. Got all the exterior apart from ariel done and started on my coilovers today.
  12. Those camero shocks should be around $250 from the states, just got mine from jegs
  13. Cheers, I love the nardi, it had a black leather one in the car when I first got it but the leather is stuffed. Hope to have the front bar, bonnet chrome and windscreen wipers back on today and that will be the exterior done.
