Good to see it found a good home. Looks like a great project. I don't think a 91 model would have had an airbag, I've only seen it on 93 models in Australia...

The corrosion does come real close to the edge of the chamber. If you are having material removed, it might not be so bad afterwards.

Seen it before and my machinist welds that area. It's from the block where there is a port on it but not the head, not uncommon.

Got 15x10 -26 superlites on the front. Must say I really dig the look. The black custom smoothies will be rear wheels from now.

What size tyre are you running? I have the same superlite 15x10s on my Celica but could only get 225/50/15s

How does that much wheel fit under the front guards!?! And with negative offset too??

Can’t fit my 17x8 +0, they poke.

Custom made for 5x108?

Nice look tho

What manner of Celica would that be, Tim?

timbo

@Xs4Eyes you've commented on my thread in off topic lol!
The panda RA65. I bought it out to the Friday night hang but had to get a push start to leave as the starter motor decided to die on me.
A few people at the ozvolvo meet were convinced that you had taken the rear glass out for weight reduction
@Klaptrap24

Xs4Eyes

Ah yes, had a look in your profile garage and did not see it.

Klaptrap24

another angle

edit: these 15x10s make the rear 15x8 -20 setup look so skinny

timbo

What's the current plan for motor? I saw you're selling the redblock gear

I want to commit to swapping in a stronger, more reliable engine+gearbox combination and bring the car to full track trim

Vee_Que

I'm unsure of a more reliable setup than a redblock, i guess we will see when an na barra goes bang?

It is true, "the car got more reliable the more I modified it", said no-one ever.
