[Dan_Q]

lookin sweet mate, lovely rims too B)

Looking good mate, Good choice in colour of both car and wheels B)

But like Chris says, get rid of the orange bits!

[me&mygt]

Thx guys. I love the ride height now but the lady has probs with finding every pot hole in sight. Do i need to change the struts? The wheels are O.Z. racing, i've been informed that the white ones are worth a packet and i was fortunate to have them come with the car when i bought it. Do you mean the indicator covers needs to be clear?

1. Replace front indicators with clear ones.

2. Replace side repeaters with clear ones.

3. Replace rear lights with late spec ones.

Job done!

I am actually considering doing that on my old spec rears, see how it looks B)

I did my rears with red spray, looked pretty good

Some basic questions then please help. Where do you get the smoke out spry for indicator covers and what is it called? My front end is now bottoming out on the bumps etc (does this mean the struts are knacked, any suggestions on struts if this is the case?

Got mine from Halfrauds. Smallish can. Something about tints on it. Cost about a tenner iirc.

[me&mygt]

Let the DEGINGERIZATION begin

Manphibians red rears look good......i think the red rears would look great on black . So maybe red rears and smoke-out the front and sides B) :D although it is your car so feel free to ignore my opinion

Hi,

I'm fairly new to Celicas but have experience with lesser sports cars.

Did you change the struts when lowering the car?

In some cases the struts bottom out with shorter springs

[me&mygt]

nope should have hey. Now it's a matter of finding out info on them so it stops bottoming out. Would a standard set of new shocks do the job?

[TCGT]

hi,

It would depend on the travel of the standard shocks, but in general terms it's best to use shocks manufactured with lowering in mind.

That has been my experience with other cars, Celicas may have the travel but from your description I suspect they may not.
