i really love big brakes.... what size rims you have to run for those?

[hasra_87]

the new brake setup really makes your suspension look like feces. Any plans for suspension?

[Steve Groenink]

as of today



tried on some wheels



some camber plates and a mild pull and these'll be perfect

later model fenders have more of a flare if that interests you at all, instead of stretching yours.

but then the front wont match the back.

Steve, if you havent rolled your fenders yet and still need a roller, i have one that you can use for a couple bucks, or a big mac.

[Steve Groenink]

finally some progress

Built a skeleton for the fuel cell



picked up some 15x8 -19 5x114.3 wheels off ebay for $80each+shipping






Mounted the fuel cell in the car





1989 2wd rear axle shortened 5" total, truck axle width is 56" and stock celica is 53" new total width is 51" which means my 15x8 -19 wheels fit similar to a 15x8 0offset. Have not mounted the panhard mount or the spring mounts as i'm waiting for my Megan Coilovers to show up to see the difference in rear spring diameter between the ae86 and ra21 stuff, and T3 panhard rod to make sure i get the mount centered correctly


shortened and re-splined axles


rear brakes will be
-11.3" Mustang SVO vented rear rotors
-85 cadillac seville rear brake calipers w/ebrake
-custom caliper mounts


Already ordered and currently in transit

-Megan ae86 coilovers
-T3 RCA's
-T3 Panhard rod
-T3 Traction brackets
-Used Megan 4-links
-OEM toyota fender mirrors
-All new rubber seals and weatherstripping for the entire car (already have some)
-TRD Duckbill front spoiler

This should round out all the mechanical parts I needed
