No wonder the Teins tend to sit a bit lower, you've a lot less coils.

well here it is, is not as low as the teins, but lower than the OEM, the ride has improved substantially. Im not interested in slamming this car. I had enough trouble in my driveway. Scraping the trd bumper. Much better choice for an old guy...



love TRD technology.

Hmm...the springs don't necessarily look new to me in the picture, but I'll say anyway that the TRD springs will take a while to settle, in my case about a half year. Your engine is heavier so it probably won't take as long.

We have TRD spring in our Beams, great ride comfort.

yup, great confort, the teins were too hard for my back....

Berto, i love your vert. The end.

needs moar powa

you should get some rear caps , but it looks great dude, ill miss mine for sure

after so much time, my parts are here...

rear boots, from a corolla, base on the par number i hope they fit.

the rear passenger assembly for quarter window



new nozzles from another toyota. might take some convincing.

I still love the Caldina rims. Probably my favorite set of rims on this site.

i have not been able to do several things in december,

However i got this (decal is temporary, as i dont like decals, but it shows who got it for me, thanks to daniel for the hook up)

so i finished my swap, the last piece of puzzle is here...



this is set aside for rainy day..



Im not really bored with the car, but i have come to realize the beams sits perfect there, and the Gt4 hood does not..

I am tempted to remove the hood, as it just calls to much attention, and really dont want to modify the bumper. So it may be coming off, as well as the wing in the future, got new rims coming, and will try to make car look like its non modified.

thats what i want, i will keep the beams, and change the top and clean here and there....

yes the red cables will go... Anyone wants them?

Been following your build and am quite impressed with your car.
Where can I get the titanium pins for the motors from?
And also noticed that your car has macstrut front shocks, so waiting to see how you mount the calipers and what discs will you be using as I'd like to go the same route.

You might be taking the hood and wheels off? I'm kind of disappointed. I love this car. You know what you're doing though, and I know it'll look good.

why? you want unmodded looking rims and those caldina rims are it. What rims are you buying?

like Daniel said, you know what ur doing so i'll wait in suspense

nah these are the new ones... well not white maybe. Ofset is great.... Im not going oem wheels , yuck

I'm not trying to be a vulture, but I know it's gonna come off that way. But if you end up selling the hood or Caldina rims, I know a certain blonde who drives a black BEAMS powered hatch who would gladly drive to Tennessee and pick them up. I love the look of your car though, so I'm dying to see what the next look will be.

well after seeing the red onvertible with gt4 hood, well i dont know, unfortunately i will not sell the caldina, i have future plans for them. but thanks,

I just need to get my hood properly painted, maybe that will help

That's more like it! I just realized I'm only 3 hours from you. I thought I was 5-6 hours. I still need to come check this car out one day. It remains one of my favorites.

By the way, how are you liking the OEM intake compared to the HKS?

No!!!!! Dont change it
She looks to go to change the front
The new rims look sweet tho

my $.02

Berto, sell the hood and TRD bumper, you can get some good $ for them both.

Go back to 97 front end, since you already have the side skirts, maybe throw on some SSIII front splitters and Hiro rears...maybe.

With your projectors and get an SSIII front grill, just like Toyota intended.



^^ I think these look good, better with the projectors and a grill imo.

Come back to sleek and smooth.
