But a black roof to match it

1994 ST204 TTEClick to see my progress thread :)
I like how it doesn't distract the eye on white Celicas and keeps it on the body lines. The roof is not that crucial.

Stock matte black mirrors, no black roof yet

In case you are wondering, the spoiler is off to put the half risers on.
Thought I'd rock the spoiler less look for a little bit...
Not sure if I will get the spoiler on this weekend though...

Eh can't get the riser block on frown.gif
The clips are all rusted and local toyota dealer is a dick.
And I don't want to connect them with metal to paint anyway

Aren't they also called Euro risers? Or have I been calling them the wrong thing? Lol

That's what I call them. If you have a two-post spoiler, then euro risers are the way to go!

Thanks everyone, they are 'Euro Half Riser Blocks', so both variations are correct.

And, Josh found these in Japan being sold as scrap (since they were not full size ST205), the seller obviously did not realize what they were.
This is the second set I have seen for sale in two years, and the first was sold for x3 more than what I paid for em.

It's a weird feeling driving it, with all the stability, traction and braking control >.<

------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------------------------------------| White '02 N-Edition Caldina | Weekend Car |------------------------------
Probably has electric steering too. That and drive by wire. By far the two worst things to happen to cars in recent years.

2001 Miata LS 5-speed
Well, he only drives 100km or so a week... I do more than he does in a week, in a day...

------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------------------------------------| White '02 N-Edition Caldina | Weekend Car |------------------------------
Then he should have a fun car.

2001 Miata LS 5-speed
It would help if he cared about cars or had the garage space for a nice one... But his garage is full of crap hahahaha

Start running things then, sometimes that's just how it has to be done.

Them euro blocks looks nice. Too bad they're too costly for me to buy. If I find one for cheap ima need to get it. Not a necessity on my to do list atm. Lol.

No where near as bad as I was expecting...
I don't have any problem reverse parking at all...

At night, it is the perfect height to block all SUV and other car headlights haha,
But, it does block the window a bit, and makes it a little harder to see...


The look of it is worth it though tongue.gif

Suspension Saturday Go!
Got these for $100; Tein Lowering Springs on Stock Shocks; Located ten minutes from my work:

(The shocks were busted though)

Started work this arvo:


Removed the stock suspension;




Finished:


In case anyone is wondering, the Shocks on the set with the lowering springs were completely gone. I have never seen suspension that was as terrible as that...
So the lowering springs were put onto my shocks!
