I got ride of those pesky bump stops. Pretty disappointed in the rear height. This is with the coils in the rear all the way down. The dragster stance kiiiilllls me. Maybe it is just the rear tire size that is doing it...



Any suggestions will be loved. Shorter springs my only chance?

I would like to be as low as that grey coupe I posted but this would suffice.

In other news one of my Backup cressidas developed a clunking noise in the rear. I jacked it up changed the shock thinking it was just blown. But after realizing the one I took out had nothing wrong I checked around more...

Found this little gem just sitting on the perch.



The other ssr's are bald so I can't use them till I get new rubber. And that muffler goes bye-bye this week.

New fun stuff

So I checked out a couple cars and settled on this guy. The suspension is pretty much complete. The body is kinda rough on the passenger side but it will do the job. First this was making it look not so flamboyant.

This is right after I got it. I took the rear bumper off and started stripping all the stickers the previous owner had.



I then put some mkIs up front and enkies in the rear and lowered it. Spun the collar down about an 35mm. Then the rears hit the bumpstops. I gotta remove those and roll the fenders. It has T3 front and rear coils 8k/9k.




That looks alright, then I put the fronts of the cressida on the rears


Once I cut that bumpstop I will most likely run the collars all the way down, and have to change up the exhaust which is amazing anyways...

Me happy.


Added my own little flair. I have about 45mm more to run the collars down. Should look good then.


Started adding to the interior. Put all my extra goodies in it. Gotta switch this corbeu seat though. I thought it would work annnnd I hate it.

Newness

With the s13 gone, I have been wanting something to toss around besides the cressida... 300,000+ miles on the 5m makes me feel like the first event I would do with it, I would not be driving it home.

Soooo I think I am going to buy another corolla. Just do suspension and keep the looks of it simple.

These are pretty much it. Throw my MK1's on the front, use my enkie mesh wheels for the rear or find some rears that are not 10j wide and molest it. I am going to look at a couple this week and see what happens.

Another video

No idea why these things are so freaking huge.

Relax

I like this car, I could not take enough photos

Who ever the camera guy is.......

Couple more raw footage from this weekends local open drift.

Then next rainy event on this track I hope to drive at this event.

More Drift

I Had to, don't judge me

Skid Event

Took some pictures at a local open drift.

Even Tread wear

I have it... Just a little to the side. Got a flat tire after a lovely night of driving.

I also maxed the rear out. When I have someone in the back now it rubs on every bump. But I am at 60psi with the tires. I think the sidewall can rub away a little more and dropping psi to about 50-55 with both of those things it should fix it.

Next is exhaust, finally putting in the oil cooler and fitting the aero I have had for a couple months.
