Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Will this celica cambelt kit fit my car?

Most of these kits don't include the hydraulic tensioner you should change this too, for a full change (idler bearing, tensioner bearing, hydraulic tensioner, belt) with decent pattern parts your looking at £150. Anything less and kit is probably incomplete or poor quality.

Re: Worst thing a garage has done to your car?

On my old mr2 (not the one i have now!), it went for the clutch changing and they snapped 2 subframe bolts and various others so they superglued them back in so i wouldnt notice, only noticed when i came to having my gearbox repaired 6 month later!

I just changed to 30mm drop, Its fine round where i live and we have our fair share of speed bumps. Nice compromise between looks and practicality.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Bilsteins

Bilsteins are not rebuildable unfortunately, and as said they are not cheap expect £120-150 a corner for the standard black bilsteins and 160-180 a corner for the yellow bilsteins, failing that get rebuildable struts and drop uprated inserts into them but they not cheap either!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Crashing suspension!! ARGHHHHH!!

Just note its not fully compressed still a bit of spring in there like above, another point msherry your droplink is the wrong way round as mentioned it should go on the inside of the suspension bracket but i dont think this would be the cause of the problem if it is one

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Crashing suspension!! ARGHHHHH!!

Did we get to the bottom of this i just fitted apex springs and standard suspension and it looks exactly the same as your springs fully compressed like that. However ride heights etc seems to be right i cant see how it would be any different

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New Rebuidable OEM Struts?

Reason i ask is i got coilovers on mine and its too much for roads round here got no teeth left and never sees a trackday anyway.
So i can get some uk rebuildables drop in some adjustable dampers and lowering springs and it would be ok on a rev3 turbo?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New Rebuidable OEM Struts?

Sorry to hijack, are the uk n/a rebuildable struts exactly the same across the range and also the same as the rev1 turbo struts.
