That is strange, it's almost like the carbon fiber wasn't all the way down into the mould when it was epoxied. Hopefully the body shop is able to work some magic on it.

Interesting, I guess the goal is to reduce underhood pressurization?

Yes.
No.
My plan is to eventually get some slim fans, make some ducting from the radiator and make up a underpanel for as much of the front underside as possible. The bumper will also be ducted to the radiator as well so that all air coming in will go through the radiator and up out of the hood.
Thus.
Downforce and better cooling efficiency.
Also am considering selling my Gramlights to fund an EMS.
I have narrowed down the options to
Haltech Elite and AEM Infinity
At first I was set on the Haltech but I have been told by a few people that the AEM is a better unit to work with

AC has been long gone.
The doggy panel is too heavy and doesnt cover up enough of the underside.
I am going to cut a giant panel of Alumalite for as much of the front underside I can fit.
Then do a section for the middle of the car that will fill the gap between the front underside section and the beginning of the rear diffuser.
will probably add a couple naca ducts for the trans just like the OE under plastics have

Did somebody say, fan car? I've always found the Chaparral 2j very interesting, shame it was so good that it was banned. If you can't beat them ban them entirely...

I was always anti AEM my whole life until I opted for the AEM v2 meth kit. I must admit, AEM makes some damn good stuff. Ive read a lot of positive things on the Infinity

once ducted it should.
Id like to see if its working now without the ducting but: cant get the temp sensors on the Racepak to read properly and I need some yarn and a gopro to see how the airflow is coming out and hopefully not in. In the case that its going in, a gurney flap will have to be put in front of the vent
1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situationエキサイティングカーレーシングチーム!march2010 COTM:6GCfeature2014:january2015-2016-2018 COTM
looks great. interested to see the airflow as well.
but *gasp* no washer nozzles!? what will u do when a fly hits your windshield while you're racing?!

It might be worth doing a Gurney flap anyway, look forward to seeing the results.

non hood related update.
went yesterday to get the hubs installed only to find out I made another oversight.
The camry hubs I have use a different size bearing from the celica.
SO.
In my sheer frustration and anger from this whole hubs situation I just ordered new RAV4 hubs from the dealer with overnight shipping so that I can get them here, put the new studs in, install the hubs, align the car, and have the car ready for the trek up to CSP
If these hubs have the same small stud hole issue as all these damn reman'd hubs, Im done with this whole extended stud thing for a while. If a lug backs out it backs out....thats why we have 5 lugs right? backup
1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situationエキサイティングカーレーシングチーム!march2010 COTM:6GCfeature2014:january2015-2016-2018 COTM
I tought i told you the bearings were different. I tried before with one

The bearing I could see being different but was the actual hub different?
Took out one of the studs from the Solara hub and its knurl measured .557". The IS300 ARP studs I have are .558"
Also came across a hub manufacturer in PA.
SKF. They have listed on their site a hub that fits a 94-03 V6 Camry and 99-06 V6 Solara. I just saw it as good info that he hub will fit but I will also call to see if they also do the weird stud bore.
Hmmmmmm.....
2001 Miata LS 5-speed
I was thinking it was the OD that was different and not the ID as well.
Sadly I was in the middle of the stud bore frenzy...I was blind to everything haha

I happen to have a camry front hub. The idea was the same. But i wanted to replace the whole front hub for the celica. Mount points are similar. But never measured. Idea was to use this caliper to try gt4 or supra calipers

the mount points look VERY similar but like most of these things I bet there is a small difference between the two. Worth looking into though
finally.
the hubs to rule them all!
worth the trouble in the end. They look alot better than the junkyard hubs I had. Probably better to go this way than re-drill some Dorman hubs, I would be too frightened of any imbalance caused from not perfectly aligned drilling
If all goes well, Ill be putting everything back on this evening and aligning the car tomorrow morning

I will probably get down there in the Fall sometime. Once this heatwave is over

few pics from the past couple weeks of travels. I still need to upload the couple pics I took at Tuner Evo
When installing the knuckles, I took a look at the calipers and saw that this little patch had the powder coat removed, which makes me think that using a thinner rotor might be a good idea. The 30mm's may be a BIT too thick.
Unexpectedly ran into Jeff on the way up to CSP!
makeshift vent cover for a flash storm that came through
got in the 10mm spacers and put them on yesterday.
I am not sure if they rub yet but itll be close! Fitment is now completely to my liking now
