So in the post christmas grind back into things, I have bought a G series Hilux Rear to replace the T series Rear end found in the celica. the Hilux is an 8″ and due to the nature of the vehicle it also has many options. however be afraid, these will need shortening down so that it fits inside of the celica chassis. the stock Hilux live axle can be 1450mm from drum surface to surface, where as the T series that originally comes out of the celica is approx 1320mm which is very small.
Other additions to my collection is the front stub axles from a Mitsi Evo 8… watch this space as im thinking of something drastic and well oversized in the brakeing front.
The new engine mounts are almost in but to access them the front (lower) control arms will be significantly in the way. so this will mean that I will require a few new ideas regarding the control arms, so again watch this space as I am looking at making some adjustable control arms with custom points. the front end of this car is starting to get messy!
