The SA63.

-Just picked up a sa63 celica notch back for $1000 for my first car.

Rear.

-Independent Rear Suspension.
-Drums Brakes.
-Stock Springs and Shocks.
-also feels like it may have an LSD not sure yet.

Front.

-Stock Springs and Shocks close to the same setup as an ae86. (not 100% sure)
-Disk Brakes.

Engine & Gearbox.

-The engine is a 2.0l 2S-C which runs very nicely, but will need to be swapped out in the future with a Camry 5S-FE or a Celica 3S_GE.
-Gearbox - W55.

Plans for now.

-drop and replace all fluids, filters, belts, etc .
-new rims and tires.
-paint front and rear bumpers.
-fully adjustable Megan coilovers.
-shortened steering knuckles. (the turning circle sucks)
-lock/weld the rear diff.
-clutch replacement.

Good choice!

3SGE would be easiest conversion for the car. You would have a T series rear end which means you can in theory use T series LSD's from JDM AE86 (TRD, Cusco, Kazz etc) Not sure if they would be small axle or big axle though?
Weld on AE86 coilovers will work (same strud ID etc), camber tops you have to redrill strut tops. Apparently S13 tops are closer fit but drilling a couple holes isn't that bad.

If you ever find the lights turn on but dont pop up, its the horn fuse in the engine bay, it also has the light motor power feed. Its not marked as lights at all. Took me a day or two to work out. How many miles on this girl?

The prevues owner had the shifter bent for what i assume was to make it easier to shift witch dosnt feel very nice to drive with, so i ordered a TRS short through replacement from Ebay. the price was quite steep but hopefully it will be worth it.

ok so the celica is now on the road!! :D got my coilovers in yesterday, haven't gotten the height just right but from lowering it i have gotten a massive camber gain in the rear, is there much i can do about this? other then going back to stock height or cutting and welding anything.

will put up some picks tomorrow once i set the ride hight where i want it.

Jacobxxx
21st March 2014, 09:29 PM
Nope. Only thing that fixes it is lowering it more 😛

djconfig
21st March 2014, 09:38 PM
wouldn't that just give it more camber?

wagonlife
21st March 2014, 09:45 PM
Exactly.

Sprinter Freak
24th March 2014, 05:09 PM
lol, only way to fix the camber gain in the rear is to get adjustable rear camber arms.

not too sure if they make them for this model of celica though.

You could take the standard arms to a fabricator and get them to make them more adjustable, but this could cost a lot.

Jacobxxx
24th March 2014, 05:58 PM
They don't work like that haha

Common problem, piece of shit parts. I blew the factory one and then 2 new ones in 3 years lol

There is an eccentric bolt mount mod for the rear subframe that will fix this: http://raptorracing.com/toyota-mkii-supra/mk2-suspension/raptor-racing-rear-camber-mod-bracket-kit-free-shipping
Designed for MA61 Supra but crosscompatible as most things are with those cars.

patrickleslie
8th July 2014, 08:16 PM
Jacob is right, if there are plans available here for the camber mod then that might bethe way to go if convenience isn't a problem.There is a bit of welding involved anyway so you might as well do the whole thing

I never tried an electric pump, i blew the headgasket twice, wrecked the car, and now have a Supra haha Youll need an electric pump for ghe 3S anyway. Do people still use Bosch and Walbro? Toyota parts are the quietest imo, a JZA80 pump ought to do it
