25mm ftw! Glad to see more and more celicas getting hooked up with spacers.

[96stgreendemon]

I just need to find someone with a fender roller that i can use for the rears, and then from there the coils will be adjusted lower he he

[mak5603]

LUUUUCKY, thats going to look sick. I want coils bad.

[96stgreendemon]

i love mine, ride is a little on the rough side, but with the swaybars the car handles like crazy

[jordisonjr]

You should be able to rent them from a local shop,if not just use a rubber mallet and a heat gun, we did it on my buddies silvia and it worked great

[96stgreendemon]

Only issue with the mallet is remember when i got hit last year? they put some bondo in there, so slow and lots of heat would be the best option for me, im hoping that some of the local guys may have one

[jordisonjr]

Oh yea, that may not be the best idea then.

[96stgreendemon]

Thought about it but i think one of my friends has an eastwood roller which will make it nice

[SupraKid]

Bondo is only going to "move" to a certain degree. It depends how much you put on but id be really weary about doing that as it may crack then ull have to sand that area down, rebondo and repaint..


Heat gun and mallet is a horrible way to "roll" fenders compared to using a roller, saying they are so damned cheap to rent.

I didnt put the bondo there, i was busy around the time i got hit and decided to pay someone else to fix it for me, but it looks like the bondo there is minimal, so what is there will hopefully stretch just a bit, and trying to figure out now if i can compress the front anymore... but i cant wait for the spacers to get here they shipped yesterday, but it may be a little while before they go on, i still have to find a day im off work and the wife will stop nagging me

[whatthe]

^ Wait what your married?!?

[96stgreendemon]

Might as well be

Gf problems Kyle? It's common knowledge that if your under 30 you can't have a nice celica and girl at the same time.

[96stgreendemon]

Women are always the problem.... besides brakes, took me and a friend about 5 hours to put on the disc swap, and there is a way to replace the cables without actually removing part of your exhaust, but the main issue was not being able to fit the disc over the brake pads for the internal parking brake, pretty sure i had everything on there right, as far as the springs go, but it wouldnt slide on, ended up filing down the pads to get the rotor to slide over

[mkernz22]

if the disc wasn't going over your pads, that means something really isnt adjusted right...
my left rear ebrake partially locked on me, and I was still able to get the disc on and off with no problem.

[SupraKid]

Kyle, there is a star adjuster you should have adjusted to get the rotor to slide on, its how you adjust the parking brake once the rotor is on.You use a screwdriver and spin the teeth clock wise or counterclockwise,which spins the cylinder over a threaded cylinder and lengthens or shortens, it sits between the bottom of the 2 pads.

[96stgreendemon]

It was weird, yeah i know about the star adjuster and it was all the way tucked all the way in and there was slack on the ebrake cable, it was definately odd,
Anyway i beat the rotor on with a deadblow and drove it till it loosened up lol, i was going on hour #8 of the install and was getting short tempered, but its all good now
Oh and the spacers are here, but i need to roll my rears, which will hopefully be done next tuesday and then the spacers will go on, and i will be going lower, then once the weather breaks for good the splitters are going back on.... still debating on the blacktop or silvertop swap though, it may happen..... but then again it may not i need to buy a truck for work so there may go that money

[96stgreendemon]

So, decided to fit the spacers today, the rear still needs to be rolled but that will be done soon hopefully.... here are some teaser pics of my dirty ass car and garage

[HectortheRican]

Mmmmm nice....

Gaw, I don't know whether i wanna get spacers or S/T sways now.

[96stgreendemon]

He he i have both..... get sways, everyone else can see rims, but you can feel the difference in the sways, personally i would pick sways over stance any day of the week
