[Kadett]

Finally got my Tein Coilovers.

The quality of this product is just outstanding even more then I enticipated. A Celica Club member couldn't stop saying he wanted to lick them :S .
Cant wait to put them on but gonna wait untill my spacers arrive so i dont need to jack up the car twice. Plus i have to figure out the total installation of the EDFC.


Here are 2 pics to keep you guys busy untill they are fitt to the car.

Just gotta love the Pillowball uppermount

ST202-FR Does it need explanation.


Hopefully installed in 9 days.

[BLACKcelicaGT]

whats EDFC

[madmods]

whats EDFC

Early detection fire control. Basically, if the internals get too hot during race conditions, they have an inner
cooling system using a misting fogger.

[Cutrara]

Electronic Damping Force Controller

[azian_advanced]

yes cutrara is almost right. it's "dampening".
there would be some electronics mounted on top of the struts that are wired to an electronic controller to adjust suspension settings from inside the car. but of course, they are at an extra cost.
and btw Kadett, nice buy! when i upgrade my sport suspension, TEIN coilovers will be the first to pop up as my choice.

Electronic Damping Force Controller

[Kadett]

EDFC = Electronic Damping Force Controller. Like cutrura said.

Here are the motors that are gonna be placed on the suspension


And here is the control unit. Still deciding if I should paint it black or not. To match the interior. But my HKS Turbo Timer will also be silver. So have to decide.


Why not install it right away. Well i want to do everything at once. Gonna get my 15mm spacers next week and I'm to lazy to jack my car up twice

But installing the EDFC is a bit time consuming since the wire have to be routed through the entire car.

Looks great, One question, the EDFC will only work with Hatchbacks right?

I honestly dont know. You need about 6 cm of clearance above the struts so that the EDFC motors can be properly mounted. Thats why you have to cut away the insulator from the stock hood or get a GT4 hood.

Cant wait to see it all setup, Its the setup that I want, but cant afford.

I would be interested on how you go about mounting
the EDFC
Keep us updated.

[95CelicaST]

In that picture of the EDFC controller, is the battery there for size reference only? Cause wouldn't that suck if you had to replace a battery.

LOL, yeah its only for reference for size (just need a power line from battery). Its about 1/4 DIN size. It fits right into the hole beneath the CD player slot. You guys in the US have a CD storage room there or something like that. We have 2 1/4 din size spaces there. Looks like toyota made that on purpose. 1 for the HKS Turbotimer and 1 for the EDFC

What do you mean by mounting. Its taking the motor and turning it onto the strut. Thats all. Well not exactly you get some extra parts with the EDFC and a good English manual, thank god for that because the Coilover manual was completly in Japanese

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

You're going to love those things when they're installed. It'll make it feel like a totally different car, and will REALLY compliment your motor perfectly.....I only wish that I could I could enjoy the balance of a tightly tuned suspension and a strong N/A motor together.

Also which EDFC motors did you buy to fit to the struts?

Good luck.

About the N/A motor......... it gonna be ditched

About the EDFC

The ones suited for the suspension. If you look at the product listing on www.tein.co.uk the EDFC number is mentioned. When you look for the same product but on the US website there is no number.

Because this set (Coilovers) is made for the ST202 and in the US version has a different part number.

EDKV1/3 - 12140 is the EDFC package number. M12-M14

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Thanks Kadett. I think I read that you were going 3SGTE, but thats not a bad move at all. I would still love to get my hands on some nice N/A power, but thats hard to do for our cars in the US unfortunately.

[jgreening]

I wasn't aware that the edfc would work with the SS - I thought the flex was required?
