Showing her off...

**Pineapple** · 01-15-2010, 04:26 PM

You need to lower it.

**idrivefry02** · 01-15-2010, 04:35 PM

Sigh. I know. But bigger wheels need to come first. I'm hoping to have them on before fall.

Lower it first. It'll look even worse with bigger wheels.

**idrivefry02** · 01-15-2010, 05:38 PM

I thought the whole thing was to decrease the space between the wheel-well and the tire? It has 16" now, I'm only going with 17".

How many inches is the typical amount to lower a celica?

**subspec** · 01-15-2010, 05:52 PM

depends on what you want. and what kits are available. mines sitting 1.5 lower.

**idrivefry02** · 01-15-2010, 06:01 PM

I don't want to have to go diagonally over speed-bumps. I already crawl over them as it is. But I want very little room between tire and wheel well. I don't think I can achieve both w/o putting huge wheels/tires on it.

Maybe i could lower it an inch, then put 17" or even 18" wheels on it?? I dunno if 18" would just be too big and look a little pimped (lord knows i don't want that)? See I don't want to do trial and error with this. I'm not made of money, so I need to figure out my dimensions beforehand.

**subspec** · 01-15-2010, 06:22 PM

Personaly. I would try lowering it first. Then see what size rims will fit. I had a set of 17's on my celi. But it changed the ride height back to normal. And they were tucked into my wheel well.

Locker · 01-16-2010, 12:06 PM

A nice little drop will help to set the car off. If your concerned about it it being to low just go with the pro kit which is about an inch drop

**akley88** · 01-16-2010, 02:06 PM

looks good its nice and shiny.

Thanks ak! Yeah it was almost 60 degrees out yesterday so i figured it was time to wash the car!

**akley88** · 01-16-2010, 03:04 PM

i washed mine too. although before i washed it i kinda liked the white to carbon blue fade it had going. you washed it by hand not one of those crappy automated ones right.

**dups90gt** · 01-16-2010, 10:20 PM

nice pic, curious; in your list of mods it says tornado, what's that?

**idrivefry02** · 01-16-2010, 10:22 PM

I took it through the car wash and then brought it home and went over the whole thing with a shammy and did the wheels and trim pieces and windows and such with all my car cleaning supplies. I don't have a hose at home yet.

And yeah, i was kinda digging the awesome ricer-looking white and brown "graphics" going down the side of mine from when I slid off the road into my neighbors front yard and got stuck...

It's a fuel saver (supposedly). TORNADO Air Management Systems :: More Power! More Mileage!

JR · 01-16-2010, 11:08 PM

A. The car looks great, would be even better with a drop. Like Locker said, an inch drop would be subtle but make all the difference.

B. Before anyone else jumps in, laughing their ass off at the Tornado, let me let you know that they are a scam, and a waste of money.

C. I did giggle while writing this post.

Then I laughed because I don't normally read sigs. Then I laughed some more, because I would laugh at you if you were a guy, equal treatment and all. Then I laughed some more, because technically, a penquins wings are really flippers and are quite useful. Then I laughed even more, because I'm an asshole.

**subspec** · 01-17-2010, 12:05 AM

Fry. Tornado's make a vortex/swirl pattern of air supposeably its suppose to increase mpg. I don't agree but ehh its a product.

**idrivefry02** · 01-17-2010, 11:44 AM

Yeah, i didn't buy it. it was already installed when i bought the car. But i really don't think it works. I get the same mpg that i got in my GT.

JR, the penguin thing... cuz penguins have wings, but they can't fly... i'm sure you're smart enough to know that tho lol.

**dups90gt** · 01-17-2010, 01:21 PM

I disagree with penguins that can't fly.

I knew this guy once who had a huge ass picnik table wing on his car, everyone said his car wouldn't fly but after a night of drinking and then driving, it flew just fine.... right into someones living room.. what an idiot.. oh wait that was me in my evo3.. fail
