    Just a little warning for anyone tracking or road racing your Celica, do not use camber bolts on track. Spend a little extra and use camber plates, they are much safer and not as apt to shear off under the abuse of FIA curb hopping. The reason I am telling you all this, a good friend of mine nearly crashed his Scion FR-S this weekend at Road Atlanta, due to a right front camber bolt shearing off while on track. Just prior to this happening, he was averaging over 135mph on the straights and near 100 throw the esses!!

    He realizes he has a problem and slows at the top of the esses, nearly causing him to go straight off at turn 5 last turn at low speed...
