yeah we'll see what i end up doing. I'm gonna get some estimates this week and next week i'll probably figure out what im gonna get insurance wise out of this. Im kinda thinking about getting another celi if i can find one.

-Brian
dang man, you need to abstain from getting into crashes

-Tyler

well...it's a secret. let's just say i've been collecting wink.gif
Why don't you just make the black 5speed.
that's my dad's car. he parked it and is now driving the tan corolla you see always parked on the street. my brother has a 96' celica identical to my dads but it's a 5spd so dont mistake those lol
ya HIN last year was kinda dissappointing but they need to advertise more and 30 bucks a ticket is kinda outrageous.
We need another meet.
Just bought Tanabe springs.

Should be here by the weekend.

2.2 front
1.5 rear

Supradog has them.

$160 shipped.

I will be on some 17s soon.







17x7
40mm

2.2 front and 1.5 rear you sure you want that ?? Anybody know where I can get access to a bearing press I need to get my bearing bracket and dust shield pressed on to my new axles my cars currently down and I hate driving my brothers riced out corolla.

Edit: I'm not going to any local toyota dealership anymore they're charging way past MSRP for everything...

The drop would be uneven. Have you driven them on supradogs car ?? They probably rub like a SOB, it also depends on what tires your going with too. smile.gif Give them a try I guess see how it goes. thumbsup.gif

2.2 is too low. by the end of the year, you'll probably need a new bumper lol. 1.5-1.8 suits the 6th gen the best. i have a 2.25 drop on my 7th gen and boy it sucks because our driveway has a little hill and it hits there every once in a while.
We will have to see haha.

If it does rub I'll compensate with 16" haha.
let me know when the next meet will be guys. wanna come check out the other 6gen's.
I was disappointed you didn't make it out to the first EVAR 6th gen meet haha. Malcrod and Your car was why I came out haha...
Talk about another meet......haven't really done any modifications yet except for my painted on carbon fiber windshield wipers lol....I'm hoping to get me some JDM tails....seems like everyone is going turbo or something....ballers damnit.

Guess it's time for rear disc brake conversion and auto to manual swap so I can accomodate for a swap or something later on.

You guys go to midway fridays or saturdays? I'm there fridays and no 6gc. The only one I met was Muggs. Yeap he's got the 5sfte and an awesome set-up. I encourage you guys to meet him....he's a skinny white dude with a beard. I'm so envious with how clean and organize it was.

I've yet to see a modified 6gc on the streets.

99GT: Tanabe.......Chivong, one of the guys with a silver GT at midway has Tanabe coilovers.....apparently he prefers them over Teins....said it looks more agressive and works well with 17s...dunno but my drop is too much for me with 18s already.

I don't like the look of 18s in celica's. I think it's a little too much. I'm most likely running 16s or 17s.

The one's I got from MAPerformance are only lowering springs. Not quite ballin yet for coilovers, plus I don't think I'll get them due to MN weather having them rust in a seasons worth and can't adjust.

I'm always there at Paul's tires, or Lor Dental Clinic, and rarely Foodsmart. Always heading out on fridays and saturdays depending on weather. I see about 2-3 silver 6gen's only.

We should all roll out to Rockfalls on the 8th of June.
argg why do insurance companies always ask questions your unsure about and make you look like you're probably at fault?.......... rolleyes.gif

also, state farm sucks to deal with. it sucks a lot

Wow!.....Damn that sucks for you. State Farm was quick and was on top of things when I got my huge dent fixed. Must be due to a totalled car I guess. They even sent me a check for all the expenses and misc. stuff that they did not get to cover. So in all I got my car fixed for $90.
