Decided to post some more pics of my Celica. Just finished MK1 Supra axle swap, S13 front coilovers, AE86 steering and brakes.
Needs 4 links, RCAs, and a working ebrake next lol.
I'll be at Texas Motor Speedway on Dec 4th for the drift event. See you guys there!

Re: Rusty
Very nice. What all did you have to do other than ream out the strut tower holes to fit the S13 coilovers to the celi Thomas such as in the area of the lower control arms and LCA ball joint mounting, etc...
Re: Rusty
The bottom of the coilover body is just welded to the AE86 spindle after chopping the strut housing off. Everything on the front of the car is from an AE86 except for Celica tension arms and lower control arms.

Re: Rusty
Ah ha! I see I see. How difficult was it for you to get the AE86 Spindle & strut casings apart? Did you have to modify the S13 casings to get them to fit to the spindle afterwards?

Re: Rusty
what motor u running thing is sweet man love to see some action shots of this or even some video
Re: Rusty
Here's the motor. It's a 1JZ head on a 2JZ block, Precision 61mm turbo. It's a blast to drive. I just finished installing a big rear sway bar and hydraulic ebrake.
Old picture from swapping it in, but looks pretty much the same nowadays
