I like that new design a lot! Great work.

No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________
I like the TRD rear wing. You have red Celi, I have red Celi (and surprise in my garage biggrin.gif ) so thanks for showing me how the rear of my Celi will look like smile.gif
the main give away is the intake manifold imo, as the non egr is nice and smooth

Tom's pedal set, which were already in there



Just browsing your thread because your car is perdy, I noticed this - they're definitely TOMs pedals?

I have the same, but had been unaware they were anything of interest, thought they were "hey, lets replace these for the lols" pedals.

A+ trader, would read again!

Thanks for reading, see the dealer optional extra thread.
Just have to wait for a free weekend to put these in.

Will try and translate what the card is supposed to be.

still running the factory Toyota one, never swapped over

Tom's Brakelines ~new
97 ST202 SS-II twin pot calipers MacPherson ones
TRD Black pads 97+ MacPherson ST202 04491-SW210 ~ new (Discontinued items btw)

Going to rebuild these calipers first, then install all together, not too sure when though?

These brakes swap over without any additional work required, unlike the SS strut brakes which require the carrier arm from the singles to work on MacPherson strut. - from what I've read.

ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
nice.

what do you mean carrier arm?? the member forgmann had a set of these for sale from superstrut and he bolted it onto the mcpherson suspension. The width between the mounting points on brake bracket for all gt4 (4piston) to n/a celica's (single or twin piston) is 5.25 inches.

care to show us pictures of difference between single piston and twin piston brake pads please.

Not entirely sure Bonzai, read it a while ago, UK owners were going on about it. Once they swapped to twinpots they used part/s from their old single brakes.
Will try to get some picture when I find time to install.

Nope, these are only good for MacPherson strut type, I think goodridge make some for ST205 though?

but i tought you bought the GT4 brakes

>anyway its about time for the next stage

this time I'll be looking at a whiteline swaybar, adjustables coilovers, rims (still haven't found any I like, im I just picky?) oh and these.........






biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
points about these: the rotor is almost the same size as my rims laugh.gif they're heavy (all up weigh 45KG) the calipers are HUGE. the calipers and rotors look in pretty good condition, just surfuce rust on the rotors.

UPDATE
Thinking of going away from these brakes now and improving the brakes I have now, so will be looking at slotted brake rotors, pads and stainless steeel brake lines, because it works out cheaper than doing all the work with the gt4 brakes (custom rotors and lines and modiflying them to fit etc)


this was all the way back in July of 2009. I"m assuming you sold em?

yea about the brake pads, I see in your pic of the calipers two different pads. but anyhow I"ll just wait till you install them

Rare n discontinued , st185 ones are around , not sure if it will work

Yes I have GT-Four brakes, but wont be installing them.

Nope haven't sold them yet ,still have them stored away.
The top one is the factory twin pot pad, the one below it is the trd pad


Oh really, thats ashame. Don't like your chances of the ST185 lines working, I would think they would be too short?

ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
bump did you fit the lines as well as the twin piston calipers

Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle partshttp://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...p;#entry1107514
nope haven't had the time, however have had the calipers rebuilt, so they are good to go


Recently I've had one led guage light flash randomly, so invested in a Spree led kit






everything was nicely labelled, and intructions are very helpful so you know which one goes where




really happy with how they came out, brightness, coverage etc, the CC unit still looks a bit green, down the line I'll need to adjust the position of that led I think












(dirty from roadworks)



Also installed ZZE123 Corolla clear side markers from TRDGT4, the other clear ones I had were changing colour and the rubber was starting to fall apart kindasad.gif





in other news my passenger side, rain visor (really nothing more than a splash) is missing a big chunk in it, it had a bit of a crack in it unitl someone as done something, so im ordering a new set from Toyota NZ.

hows them brakes feel bro?

oh, show us your clock too!

lol still haven't done the brakes (this is like me saying ill build a cold airbox, remember how long that took to finally get done laugh.gif), over in Perth atm

my clock is still green, haven't put the filter in yet, will probably install it when im fixing the CC leds later down the track

ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
In preparation of putting the brakes etc on, cleaned and then painted the calipers -credit to my brother for doing it.

Decided on black over red, as it looks cleaner, easier to keep clean/ harder to show up dirt etc and everyone seems to do red



I think i prefer it with the shim in place, gives it a nice shine, as the pads only show up 'T' 'D'

Your brakes look like a man with a moustache.
