Today I got a package. It's my new jasma exhaust.

Doesn't look new.

Well it's new to me. I also got my tein lowering springs.

Nothing a wire brush and some rust converter won't solve though.

ALSO WOOOOOO MOAR LOW!!!!!!!!

Yep I wanted coil overs but teins are $1200 while springs are only $170. Since I have brand new kybs sitting around it seemed like the best thing to do.

The Tein and KYB setup was pretty good, was better once I had seats worth a damn.

Today I...(last night really), removed and replaced wheel bearings in the garage. In the process I broke both ABS speed sensors, hell I had to burn one out it was so stuck in there. Well, at least I got the knuckles all built back up and ready for install. Now to find some sensors.
Pulling the hub out
Bad pic, but you can see the corrosion on the end of the hub, after it got all cleaned up it wasnt so bad (a bit pitted now though)
A pic of the bearing assembly while still in the hub.

Fresh new Toyo Proxes T1R tyres on the front, with a wheel alignment done today.

I hate my tein springs on my KYB on my GT rides like **** and bottoms out,,,, I love my tein He on my s13 Silvia tho ;-) , first set of lowering springs and Im disappointed unless its my struts.

Did you replace the strut mounts as well?

Who me?


Hate this heat but tried to do some more work on my leadslead on day off

did some changes on mine,,,,,, removed SS rear valances SS/USDM side,,,,,, test fitted TRD rears, sides and fronts on my ST204/gt4 conversion..... need to get flange gaskets and throw on this HKS Hipower cat back, life with stock gt exhaust on 3sgte is boring need that extra umphhhh,,, dropped off my bronze AME tracers TM02s to get tires mounted, need to change up my wheel set up...
only pics I have at moment..



car currently looked........decent....TRd wing is gone...GT4 riser blocks are in place with stock spoiler now


still lots to do, install HKS speed defender, TT, and possibly boost controller

Yesh, you.

I had Tein and KYB on mine, but I also had new mounts and an alignment done immediately afterwards. I never had issues with bottoming out and a lot of our roads are crappy tarred in gravel. If so it could be your struts as my KYB's were different than how they are now. Mine were silver and stamped with KYB USA, whereas now they're black and stickered.

Side note, nice car by the way. Part of me wants to get a black GT to swap.

Come back to the celica side box!

Maybe if there were cookies involved. The delicious crisp crunchy kind too, not those gross soft mushy ones. Cookie, that's a crunchy word and not a mushy one.

I got silver KYBs front+rear, stock same mounts? alignment issues dont have any problems, but see what ur saying it be good to even check since struts did have to come off.

If you didn't replace the mounts that's very possible then, as it's always suggested to replace them when doing lowering springs and struts. Though for as cheap as the Megan EZ-Street coilovers are these days a lot of people go that route for their price compared to new struts, mounts, and lowering springs.

Finally, after over 5 years of seraching, managed to get my hands on a set of side skirts that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. OEM, and they even came with a set of SS3 rears and a WRC hood spoiler (Which is currently for sale )

Wooo side skirts and splitters! The car does look a lot better with them.

got my tires mounted n balanced , very happy with my wheels->now gotta mount them. ;-)

On my way back from Oklahoma, I discovered that my driver side outer CV boot is ripped and all the grease gone. So took it to local GoodYear and end up replacing the whole shaft for $250 - 10% discount. Since I bought tires from them, rotation and balance was free and also got power steering fluid flushed and replaced. Car drives better now.
