For thoes who dont know, Prothane is a company that makes full suspension inserts, much like energy does. Prothane's quality is top notch. www.prothane.com
I have made a contact within the company, and they are intrested in our celica's. They are currently developing a set for the old school corolla's due to the "drift craze" i was told.. i explained to him my spot in the celica community and a lack of parts. If we show enough intrest the company will add us to the R&D and start to produce our parts. first problem would be that we will need a local member willing to let them use it for there test car. im sure there would be some kind of bonus in the end, but i cannot promise anything. i would like to start my list of intrested members here. if they do decide to take on this task, it could take 7-8months. please only add yourself if you are serious. |

Ooo they're located near me.. I'd let them use my car- but it depends how often they'd need it combined with if they'd give me a full set preinstalled at the end..
IE, I wouldn't be interested in letting them just having my car for 7 months. I wouldn't be interested in them having my car every other week for a full week- if I didn't get a full set, etc etc I hope I don't sound greedy.. but she's my baby- and my only car. |

it should be compairable to a ES master kit.. front & rear control arms, sway bars, motor mounts, & shifter. all depends on the model they work on etc.. from what i understand i may have to ship them my control arm assembly to work with, or purchase a new/ junk yard parts to mail them.. again, i need to see strong intrest before i take the next step. my car has been sitting for months, i wouldnt care if i took it apart and mailed them pieces. i want to see this list explode sense no company makes this for us, theres really no reason that this should become a reality. if prothane is willing to take the step and make poly bushings, im buying. |

I'm interested for sure. I tried to get another company to do this, but they refused to respond.

This sounds great, only thing is that I use my celcia as a daily driver and havin them have it for 7months is basically impossible. I do hope someone signs up seeing how I need some poly-urethane bushings for my sway bars ( the ones from suspension techniques crack too fast)

I'd be interested in polyurethane bushings as well. I've already got aftermarket sway bars, the perfect motor mount setup(except my idle sucks...but it's worth it.
 ), and a TRD Quickshifter, but I'd love some polyurethane bushings.  01. zipstrips (zipstrips@aol.com) 02. Junior 03. ghostdog 04. Faqdaworld 05. macavely 06. Defgeph 07. shid 08. presure2 09. Coomer 10. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
