January 23, 201412 yr Author comment_676040 Bank account copping an absolute flogging after a midnight decision to get started upgrading. Coilover sleeves - Owned KYB AGX Shocks - Ordered 5KG otomoto springs - Ordered KYB Excel G Commo shocks - Ordered Celica King Springs for rear - Ordered AJPS RCAs - Ordered I'm still snooping around for some top hats and camber tops and XT130 LCAs. And some KU31's will be on the front with relatively decent tyres for the back. Grip grip grip grip grip grip. CANNOT WAIT! Report
January 30, 201412 yr Author comment_676587 I have ordered all the parts I need to convert the front to coil-overs and put something decent in the rear. Summit racing in the states have been really slow in the shipping process for my KYB AGX's and are apparently getting them posted tomorrow. I have almost everything else though! Finally got to work. Filler and paint, put in a couple of days trying to get the best result possible. It's red again! My home booth Report
January 31, 201412 yr comment_676600 So nice. I wish mine was nice, but then I couldnt do all the ridiculous mods that I do. Report
January 31, 201412 yr Author comment_676601 Nice repair. The paint on this car looks tops. Thanks mate! It was my first decent sized body job. The paint is nice from far and far from nice :D So nice. I wish mine was nice, but then I couldnt do all the ridiculous mods that I do. The pictures are definitely doing it justice but that's exactly right - imperfection can be more fun if you don't mind it! Report
February 3, 201412 yr Author comment_676766 Coilover sleeves - Owned KYB AGX Shocks - Ordered Summit Racing to ages to process my order and sent them out a full week after payment, a little grumpy as people have had parts from them a land in Aus a 7 days out from payment. I just want my coils in! 5KG otomoto springs - ARRIVED KYB Excel G Commo shocks - ARRIVED Celica King Springs for rear - ARRIVED AJPS RCAs - ARRIVED Report
February 4, 201412 yr Author comment_676878 They arrived! Struts are being cut and welded by Fab 81 in Labrador, some of their work is incredible and the guy I spoke to was friendly and didn't mind me asking question to learn about crap. I'll throw the coil overs in on Thursday - so I am booking in for new rubber and wheel alignment on Friday. I commemorated by throwing in the rear gear - I'm not entirely happy with the way that the springs sit in there (Doesn't centre perfectly at the top because of a slightly larger diameter), I might look in to using other rubbers. I took it for a drive and it already feels incredible compared to choppies and old shocks, and I haven't even touched the fronts. My exhaust no longer fouls on my diff and it can actually go over a bump without killing itself. Report
February 4, 201412 yr comment_676881 I put my celica springs in the other way around. Sit better. Report
February 5, 201412 yr Author comment_676922 I put my celica springs in the other way around. Sit better. Obviously you switched the rubbers around as well? Report
February 5, 201412 yr Author comment_676923 Picking up a AJPS front lip on Friday - I'll paint it with colour matched paint, excited to see how it will look with a little fibreglass work. If it'll be a stupid amount of fab work, I'll stash it for a rainy day. Edited February 5, 201412 yr by B-Lugg Report
