B-Lugg Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Lugg Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Lugg Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Lugg Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Lugg Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I put my celica springs in the other way around. Sit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Lugg Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) 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, 2014 by B-Lugg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
