Should I? (opinion Needed)
Well I'm considering doing this to my wheels for my celica: Reason being is although i love the silver it kinda looks like every other celica out there! I want to do something that will make the car my own and stand out from the others. The walls are very much myself and the red center is very much JDM spec (and their sportmax so who gives a shit haha) Original Picture for comparison: Also please keep in mind this is a crappy photochop!

If they get too much attention then ill cut them. RA22 is the american model, different engine, bumpers etc.

I might give it a bit of a trim to get it a little more po po friendly. Haven't decided yet. Will get replaced by a GT badge when i find one :blinks:

1971 Vw Type 3 Squareback
Yay another rollaclub member with a type 3! Square looks awesome man, doesn't need anything but a little tidy up and maybe some spline rotating for some low pleasures :)

Yep its darker, i couldnt get the paint matched perfect so it will do for now. Getting a few things touched up so it will be redone then. Just a few more minor things, exhaust goes on this week, new plates and a few other minor bits and pieces.

Decided to take a couple photos today, still waiting on my GT grill and a couple other bits and pieces before i take some good photos. Mirrors were silver but it wasen't doing it for me so i painted them a dark charcol. Rear end will be coming down a little lower but at the moment it rubs hard, need the guards rolled first! Overall pretty subtle fitment so i shouldnt get into too much trouble with police (fingers crossed).

They feel great at the moment, although i could do with some good shocks as these are too long now. Stiffness wise as i had explained to me by Ryan (SLO-030) i wouldnt go higher than 5kg for a street car as it puts alot of load through every suspension component of the car. I can't see any reason why you would go higher unless its a track car. Mines stiff so i reduce a little travel as my wheels hit the guards.

What are you? Like 14? If you need a car to get your balls sucked your doing something wrong.

In Need Of Unbias Opinion
All about money! KE70/AE71 will be much cheaper and easier to get, parts are pretty easy too. TA22 on the other hand will cost you alot to get a good one (expect minimal 3k for a good one) and parts are a little harder but still pretty easy these days. If you have the cash TA22 all the way they rock, Ive got an RA23 and there isn't a corolla in the world i would swap it for (but I'm biased towards celicas as they were my first car).

2psi? haha no ill actually drive around at a reasonable height, the front is looking to be just air shocks anyway so hopefully it should ride really nice.
-
What That I Hear? Mazda Wagon?
No I'm pretty certain it sold on here? Local buyer too.
-

Absolutely no chance of being picked on for no bumpers. You'll never be able to tell unless your very familar with type 3's. It will just look like any other car to normal people. I think ill have more chance of being defected for the height and the airbags don't you think?

What That I Hear? Mazda Wagon?
No the late model RX4's and 929's had the 'merc front', the early models had the pointy front. This wagon was sold a while back i hope its still going strong.

Project 'whatever The Hell I Want To Do To It Something Rather'
Seems that way doesn't it? Paint flat white No bumpers all round Fill all holes etc and relocate indicators and the big one: AIRBAGS! They do standard but I'm going for a different look with this car and running no bumpers.

No not over 20's, but these just seem to pop up for the right price. I'm having some fun with this one. Now that my good brown one is sold the RA23 will have some money thrown at it!
