LOL! yeah huge spacers for sure.
yeah I'm not sure on the front either. I feel like maybe if it was on a non gt-four front, it would look fine. also, I think they are basing their design off of this so we'll see how it turns out: -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

I'd be scared to drive a car with spacers that big, I don't like the idea of spacers to begin with though.

yeah I only run 20mm and one of the rear ones came pretty loose on the highway because I didn't tighten it enough. made for a really scary ride. but after that, tighten them all up and rides fine now. I can only imagine if one of those were to loosen up while you were driving.

Even with everything being securely bolted, moving the rotational mass of the wheel that far out and depending on 5 bolts to hold up that and the increased rotational mass with the spacer... You couldn't pay me to ride in a car like that. Not to mention to the adverse effects on handling and braking. Show car sure why not, but keep it on a trailer...

Maybe if you had a custom rim made with lots of inset, at least then the mating surface is still directly on the hub. Looking at the RX-7 it looks like at least part of there's is from such.

OK
Bunnies I like them. not all of them (as it comes to many things when you build a car beyond the expected) but I like them. I managed to have my hands on an original plastic liberty walk kit for a E92 BMW. and as some of you have already saw at the fb groups I am building an rb kit for the 6gc. It will be more tidy than the thai one It will allow to be fitted with all of the oem ssIII, trd, c-one parts. I will start a new thread when I find some time these days with plenty of photos. this is a photo of the BMW fenders that I just test to see on the celica. Nothing to do with the final result. just a photo |

Not really a fan of the front piece how it comes all the way down flaring out. Makes it almost too wide looking, but maybe that will change upon final completion. X2 but looking forward to undergrounds build.. Thanks for the update -------------------- @floordauto

got an update today on this celica.
looks to be finished and painted. what do you guys think? good ? bad? ugly? i feel like the rear end is a bit bare now since nothing was done to it. -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

I like it except for I would've chosen a different color and maybe a different front lip style. Great though for a built from scratch job though.

I lost interest in this after seeing how the bottom parts of the flairs look and the lip and the skirt. Its like they gave up trying to make it look good when finding a way to blend it to the car. I actually really dislike it now.

^Ditto, it's a shame they didn't try and make it fluid. All this time I'm thinking so they can have ST-205s to ruin and yet I can't get one for another five years.

I do remember a guy with a white GT4 with a carbon diffuser and RB spoiler he made him self I think in Paraguay? I saw some up to date photos a few months back where he had done the RB arches too. His worked well because he has a stock ish look and it was just arches which flowed with the car. Ill try and find the pic.

nice! yeah pics would be awesome. I think with any RB or wide body celi, a diffuser would look awesome.

I actually really dislike it now. This is exactly how i feel, except I couldn't find the words to describe it. The bottom of the flares, looking from the front, are too wide IMO and don't really flow well. the front lip is also way to heavy as well. If anything, the rear view is the only thing I do like about it. With proper wheel fitment, it has potential from the rear, but the rest is all off. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
