Hey Tiga real quick, sorry to change the subject. Had a question about the brake conversion. You said you could use na supra rotors redrilled to 5x100. Will tt supra rotors work as well? If not, why and what's the difference? If can use them then that's a relief because I picked up a set from AutoZone for $80.

Nopes. Their Diameter is 324mm which is beyond our limits with the conversion

Got it. Thanks man. N/A supra rotors redrilled. Any particular year per say?

not really. just stay inbetween 94-97 i guess.
Id take the BRZ way into consideration.

The only big difference is the thickness

talked to a representative...active pro won't release until 2 months from now...ill go in to see a tein representative to see if the EDFC active pro will work with the SS coilover kit they make for our cars, if the application works...even though it says on their website that the SS Coilover kit DSL36-KUSS2 is not compatible--> the reason is because of hood clearance issue, so they don't recommend buying the EDFC, or showed that the product is not EDFC compatible, but according to the representative, there is a way that we can have it install and bypass the clearance by having an elongated wire kit they sell to mount the motor elsewhere, and get it to work with the SS damper coilover kit they make for the celica 94-99. The only downside is that the coilover don't have pillowball mounts with it, so if we don't want to use the stock upper mounts, we can custom order the upper mounts to fit our celica, but it will cost $350 for the pair just for the front or back only...total $700 for front and back and it will take 2 months plus coming from japan. I say this beats having to adjust it manually...think this will be a nice investment especially if you are planning to keep the car.

I was reading up on their blog and yeah, they said March for a US release..or was that the Japan release? Just did a quick search on the blog again to find some other info and found the article for the extension kit

why so much grain? high iso?
yup. old camera cant handle iso bumps, plus its in a dark garage and I have been playing around with more grainy photo's

Thinking of sprinkling some Time Trial events into this years event list so I can finally get some actual on track time.

Mar 15-16 - Summit Point Main Circuit (wdcr cca)

April 5-6 - Summit Point’s expanded Jefferson track (Philly SCCA)

May 3-4 - Summit Point Main Circuit (wdcr cca)

August 22-24 - NJMP Lightning (Philly SCCA)

Sep 13-14 – Summit Point Main (wdcr cca)


sprinkiling may be sparse since each event cost around $275

Its out in the wild now! Seems as if it will be around $800 for the Active Pro, which I would plan to get without the GPS unit.

jk, that's almost $1,250 if you get 8 motors....might be more like 4 years from now lmao
either way itll be an investment man hahaha


more details on the extension kit, which would probably be the better solution for the system to fit the ST204/ST202 without having to space the hood
