I put in a spacer in the front to see how 20mm looks. I like it. Needs more spacing in the rear though.
Side angle:  Side:  Front quarter:  Rear quarter: (wheel is slightly turned to the left)  I also installed my two extra gauges finally. Took power from the 12V cig lighter, ground at the block, vacuum at the IM (gonna have to get a vacuum manifold by the looks of it). Prosport amber/white 52mm performance gauges. Electric Oil Pressure and Mechanical Boost: Picture  Video: http://s269.photobucket.com/user/arolbreak...857b68.mp4.html There's also an Innovate MTX-L wideband gauge next to them which is connected to the Megasquirt for datalogging and EGO correction purposes. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

Keep it coming man Thanks, while that all depends on your drop, wheel and tire size.. my setup consists of tein springs, 195/60/15 tires on 15x6.5 7th gen GT wheels. 20mm front, 20mm rear and I think I'm going to get 30mm for the rear because it still has a lot of space. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

Oh ok. Yeah never understood why people cut the springs. I'd be afraid something would screw up bc of that. Car looks good dude. Gonna stay with the 15" rims or eventually go bigger?

Oh definitely
The FMIC ended up fitting almost how I wanted it to. I might re-do one bend so that both sides are showing the pipes. Pics of what I mean coming soon. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

Looks real nice with the spacers, I regret not jumping on a pair. What do those alloys weigh? Mine are the same size, 17.5lb.

Haven't weighted them, but they are definitely much lighter than the previous 17's that were on there. The change in acceleration when N/A definitely dictated so.
I think they're the usual 15's, I'd say around 16-17lbs is about right. MAYBE a little less, because most people who get these wheels around here is due to their light weight, apparently. Here's some pics for you guys:    Thinking about slightly changing the piping on the left side so that instead of a coupler you can see a pipe, because I'm kinda OCD like that. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

Looks like your oil filter was able to fit without a relocation kit? I'm wondering if it might get too hot being that close to the downpipe though?

QUOTE (6strngs @ Oct 6, 2013 - 10:44 AM) Looks like your oil filter was able to fit without a relocation kit? I'm wondering if it might get too hot being that close to the downpipe though? It fits. Depending with what eyes you look at it with, the only downside (maybe upside because I'm forced to use a quality filter) to it is that the ONLY filter than will fit is the OEM toyota one. The other filters I've found have a protruding thread and therefore don't fit between the oil cooler and the wastegate port tube, but that's only in my case. My recommendation is that you get a manifold properly fabbed to not need to have a custom wastegate flange fabbed up that will take up almost all of the space. Found that out the hard way. I drained the oil and I'm stuck without no filter. Will have to get one tomorrow
