$20+ shipping sound good?

i just put some ebay coilovers on my car. the rear has the sleeve turned like 5 turn up and the front has no sleeve. my car sits like 2" off the ground with stock struts. the struts bottom out on like every bump. does anyone make a strut that wont bottom out when sitn that low?

what you want for the short block?

stock would be better. the 17s need low pros which have stiffer side walls. drag radials would probably fine. im assuming your cars a stick so some wheel spin is ok, you don't want your motor to bog.

any 5sp st owners know how many rpm they turn at 60mph?

is that what your speedometer reads at 3k? its like around 2200 RPM at 60 mph

i have a 94 celica st 5sp. i think the speedometer is saying im going faster than what i am. at 3k rpm it says im doing about 73mph. does that sound right? i have 205/60-14 on it so that might throw it off a little

do the wheels have any damage? what brand are they?

if you pump the brakes with the bleeder loose your gonna push air and fluid out and suck air back in. you should have the bleeder close when pumping, hold the pedal and loosen the bleeder. then tighten it back up. when its just a stream of fluid coming out then that corner is done. if you do it yourself get a container and poor brake fluid in it. then loosen the bleeder and connect a hose to it and put the other end in the container so that it is under the level of the brake fluid. then slowly pump the brake. when you push down the air will get push out and because its in brake fluid it will suck the fluid back in instead of air. when you stop getting air bubbles when pumping your done with that corner.

you got a 5SFE right? his got a 7A. don't know what kinda work is involved in shiming a 5S but it must be less or you got a real good deal

i got these DF210 for my car and i don't think its dropped as much as it said it was suppose to. how long does its take for them to settle?, the tanabe rep told me 2 weeks. its been about that long and it still looks just as low as it did when i first put them on. i measured the front two days after i installed them and it was about an inch lower. does else have these? did they drop what it was supposed to for you?

i got my head resurfaced and the valves grinded for about $130. but some machine shops won't touch the head because of all the work involved in shimming it. i had to do the shims myself but the guy at the machine shop helped me get the shims i needed. Another machine shop around here want like $400 to do it but the would have shimmed it for me. It took longer but i think i went the right route. i about 9k mi on it so for with no problems. its not hard to figure out what shims you need it just takes time.

Replacing the seals isn't that hard. you have to take the lower part of the strut loose, outer tie rod end, and pull the axle out. use a seal puller tool or pry bar to remove and the proper seal driver to install the new. make sure you get your seals from toyota, i messed around with ones from advanced and stuff and the are to big to go in. not to mention the ones from toyota cost less.

there should be a castle nut and cotter pin that goes on there to stop it from coming loose.

will a 7afe out of a 97 corolla work ok in my 94 celica?

so 5gen celica has s53 and 6gen has s54? is there any differences? which does the camary have? is the a difference between the 5sfe cluctch and the 3sgte clutch as far as splines and bolting it to the flywheel?

I have a 94 st, i want to swap in a 3sgte. i was going to just use a 5sfe trans but i was wondering if the 5sfe trans out of a camary or earlier model celicas would wok and if what the transmission code or name is.

is the motor any good? how many miles? how much $?
