Ben, the kouki tails look fantastic on the car!

Nice.
Remove an amber. it would be more clean imho.

Finally got a D2 update for you guys! The install went real smooth, and I'm sorry guys....I did raise the car per all the data I received while reading the suspension dynamics
threads posted in the info section. I do plan to lower the back down a little more, but I would lower it more if I could figure out how to install roll center adjusters from a Honda.

I should be installing my new wheels and tires in a few days so I will have an update just after the Thanksgiving.


The mount on top is the incorrect mount that I was initally given that has slowed this whole progress down. The one on the bottom is the correct Celica mount. Just an FYI.


Picture of one of the shocks in place.


These are all pics of how she is sitting right now.





The car rides great, I haven't bottomed out once, and I'm still on the softest rebound settings. I will probably stiffen them up a bit after a few weeks when they are finally
broken in.

I'm running just over 1 degree of camber in the front, and around .5 degree's in the rear

Wheel hop and loss of traction in first and second have been nearly eliminated. Hoping it's gone after the new wheels and stickier tires.

I gave myself whiplash in 2nd gear while beating the piss out of an integra on the way home yesterday, because I wasn't expecting for the car to hook up so well in 2nd going into full boost.

Enjoy.

Nice! Embarrassing an Integra just makes it better.

My wheels arrived early!!! So naturally it was instantly install time!!! These are XXR530's 17x8.25 +25 offset wheels wrapped with 225/45/17 Nitto NeoGen tires.
It isn't daylight here where I am right now, so I'll be sure to add more pictures during the day, so for now you're going to have to settle for Gas Station/Garage pictures.

Amazing! Looks so good Ben.

Threadjack: Are you selling your 7th gen wheels?

Looks awesome. I see your suspension/wheel combo and raise you a Quaife atb LSD.

Jk, jk. The holidays and school loans are killing my funds lately. Would be fun to start a celica-mod arms race though

Uuuuuuggghhh....I wanna E-153 soooo bad!

Drop iiiiitttt!

I actually did just a little bit more, and now i'm scrubbing the fenders. So I will have to have them rolled

looks awesome! droop it like its hooot drop it like its haaawt

Rubbing rear fenders means you're doing it right. Get those rolled ASAP! I hope that in a year or so I can get a set of coilovers. Teins will have to do for now.

Catering to popular demand here. This is as low as she is gonna go. Already having axle problems from the car being slightly higher than
when I was on the Teins. So I'm going to replace my front right, and hope the front left doesn't deside to break.

Looking good, very good!

car is looking awesome Ben great job! i hear you with the axle problems.. the s54 sucks if you want to play, we both need to upgrade to the e1fitty3 lol

so nice.
new wheels look so good. offset & stance

Driver side will go first

What axle problems?

Cv is blown.

Those wheel do look good. Wonder why the DS always goes first, maybe the shortness of the shaft transfers more vibration?

Actually the passenger side in my case.

You stoled my wheels! Give em back!

All the torque goes to the shorter shaft. Just like torque steer in our cars it pulls right. The drive side gets the power first
