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

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:

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.

Well I cheated, just found the standard length as measured by redwarf a while ago: 800mm centre to centre.

no worries, i'll measure mine on the weekend, kinda flat out till then

thought i'd put a spec sheet in, its a bit old now but copy paste is easier than typing it all up again, i'll update it in the next few days

My New Toys :dance:

Quady quad quad quads :jamie:

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.

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, 200817 yr by Fat Bastard Customs

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

lol, you shoulda asked me about the yoki stickers man. I can get them pretty much whenever i want.

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

XT130 struts, hubs, some spare tubes and some AE86 steering arms. All shiny and bead blasted

My stupidly expensive new shocks
