Yeah the clip is from Rpm Garage. Not super thrilled about it but
no one else sells clean beams clips. I know Keith so deal he gave
me was ol' friend discount.

Since both Celicas will be "fun" cars Im doing complete conversion.
I buying complete doors with clip as well.

Current setup is standard TRD coilovers (non ss) and rims are 18x8.5.
I got them with tires for $475. I put on along with coils and suprised
by only very slight rubbing in lock to lock turns. 245/40 is tad big but
grip is absolutely amazing . After owning 18 Mr2s over last 13yrs i
dont even miss mid engine handling after driving this car.

I have JDM 98 interior in both cars. Im having the TRD wheel and knob
redone in new leather with red stitching. Since no airbags in 205 made
more sense to run non airbag wheel. Only OEM guy but TRD is considered
oem as these parts were sold on a new Curren. Im also close to 40 so my
tastes are clean oem style.
