Fat Bastard Customs Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Posted March 22, 2008 got my quad headlights and my front spoiler (hopefully in the next 2 weeks) and when i get the front lip she goes into the panel shop to get the front gaurds lined up properly and hopfully all will be good, bein having massive issues whenever i even think of working on my cars atm Quote
Fat Bastard Customs Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Posted April 6, 2008 Right, i finally decided to get off my arse with this thing, 2 trips on bad country rds has made the decision for me. The front lip and quad light are gonna have to wait for a while, hopefully I'm ordering some new koni sports mr2 inserts in the next few weeks and then I'm gonna be making up some new coilovers front and rear with some new springs to get rid of the shitty kings progressives that ive got at the moment. If time permits, I'm going to setup an equal length four link setup in the rear also. Watch this space, I'm going to do a proper write up on the struts and four link setup. :dance: Quote
Philbo Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Hey nice rolla, How easy is it to fit the Celica diff, is there much difference in the way of mounts/springseats etc? I think you said in a post on AE86dc it sits further back. Is it minor or did you overcome this? Quote
Fat Bastard Customs Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) Hey nice rolla,How easy is it to fit the Celica diff, is there much difference in the way of mounts/springseats etc? I think you said in a post on AE86dc it sits further back. Is it minor or did you overcome this? its not to major, it has an unmodified celica diff in it in the pics, that should give you an idea on how it fits. also, the top bushes need a bit of persuasion to get them in but they fit and the panard bar might be the wrong length. if u pm me the length of your panard bar, i'll measure mine to see how far off it is.

Philbo Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Well I cheated, just found the standard length as measured by redwarf a while ago: 800mm centre to centre. Quote
Fat Bastard Customs Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Posted April 10, 2008 no worries, i'll measure mine on the weekend, kinda flat out till then Quote

KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 Looks good Beau. Whats the go under the bumper?? Looks like there is something missing. And OH NO....You lost your Yokohoma sticker with this new front!!! Tragedy!!! Nah looks good, hurry up and do your suspension. Quote
Fat Bastard Customs Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) i had a little mishap with the beaver, i was putting it in and i broke the head off 1 of the mounting bolts. After a smoke and a little swearing it was decided 2 leave the beaver off till i get a chance 2 fix it properly. don't worry about the yoki sticker, i have more :jamie: Also, shut up, i'll get it done when I'm not poor :P Edited November 19, 2008 by Fat Bastard Customs Quote
KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 You have more??? Could have told me this...I want some. lol. Bugger bout the beaver panel. Still looks good, quads and flat black and fully hektic bonnet pins. Lol Quote
Fat Bastard Customs Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Posted November 20, 2008 lol, you shoulda asked me about the yoki stickers man. I can get them pretty much whenever i want. Quote
Fat Bastard Customs Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 Alrighty, Ive finally started pouring some cash into this thing. I've bought the Koni inserts i was planning to get ages ago ($2600 all up, that hurt) and i am slowly gathering the bits and pieces for the suspension work. Ive got the seamless tube for all my link bars, panard and front end, my hidiously expensive shocks, my rose joints and a nice set of XT130 struts prepped and ready to go. I pretty much need some new rotors, springs, coilover kits, some steel and i can start playing. Planned suspension mods include: Equal length 4 link full rose joints (everywhere, including the tierods and ball joints) new coilovers front and rear with 8 point bump and rebound adjustment (hence $2600) adjustable front and rear roll centers fabricated swaybars similar to the ones earlier in this thread more link adjustment in the rear and prolly a few other things that i'll take photos of but can't remember atm I'll be putting a few piccy's up in the next few days Quote
Fat Bastard Customs Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 XT130 struts, hubs, some spare tubes and some AE86 steering arms. All shiny and bead blasted My stupidly expensive new shocks Quote
