Joes So-Cal 1989 GTS coupe

Wow :headslap: if that works I'll Be fcking amazed... I'll will definitely DIY that.
thanks for the tip

 

thanks at LionTR, I was able to recalibrate my speedo, and its +- 2mph now.

Finally got my wheels mounted and installed this morning, thanks to racerbs nos rims.
I think I need to get some toyota,trd wheel caps thou.

 

Here's a better side shot at work

 

I went to the yard today and they had like 10 st161/162s there, some really nice minty ones. Anywho, I found a 93'celica GTS 5 speed. I was thinking would this shifter fit because its about a inch shorter and much shorter throw. Since the stock one currently is doing a terrible Job . I took the assembly out ,removed the shifter and fit it in my st162. Let me tell you , this is like day and night. 200% better, like butter engagement and much shorter precise throws. Completely bolt on too. I've heard the 6th gen fits too and is even shorter but have yet to find one. A much more affordable upgrade compared to twm.

 

Just fitted my st202 dual pistons calipers and its a perfect fit, except I have to grind like a 1/4mm off the top, cause its ever so slightly scratching the rim.
I dont see no other problems arising from this .
Im hoping to see a nice improvement from this, then looking to upgrade the master cylinder, and flush the brake-fluid out.

 

car is running great man, logged about 1000miles so far and no problems at all,
here is the shifter,

as you can see here is significantly higher where it attached to the lower cable

 

Hey just a quick update on the things Ive done in the last few months,
One of the major projects Ive wanted to do is switch out the usdm corner lights for the every market but ours lights lol. I had my friend from australia ship these to me and he only paid 40usd for them and 35usd to ship them what a deal! I decided to run a led in the upper light, and use it like a drl, So when key is on its always on. What do you think about that?





Here is a picture of my knockoff trd knob and a nice new shifter boot,
