Hey.

They're wheel arches from a Opel calibra. Too hard to find originals..

Think I paid like $150 a piece. Need modifications tho, as you can see in the pics.

Some pics just for fun of it..

First ride this year. To the closest gas station and back.

No leaks, however seems that one if the brakes is somewhat stuck, came some smoke when I pulled up, probably piston that is rusted..

do you have the 4.1 diff in yet? i think this will be the ideal ratio for my na-t.

 

[rodel]

Very nice. The SSR wheels look great on the car.

 

[scotty]

No still running the stock GE diff, sold the custom diff that I bought.

Thanks Rodel. I'm however still running stock suspension, so it's kinda 4x4 height. I need coilovers and a slightly roll at the back, then it would look truly good! But as I'm selling it I don't want to spend more money on it.. shame, but that's how it goes.

Took a few pics today

The hell happened to your nose panel?

Hey Scotty,
thanks for showing a good alternative to fixing the rear arches.
I just received mine and for all of you others who want to do the same arches: search for vauxhall calibra 90-97 rear wheel arch on ebay.co.uk. I couldnt find them on ebay.com
They cost 12£ each from Poland.

Thanks again Scotty.

that price what convert in us is it really 20 buck

 

[rodel]

Thanks for sharing new pics. What are the specs of the ssr?

 

[scotty]

Thanks They are 18x8.5 and 19x10.5. I don't remember offset, but they should be around +25(F) and +18(R).

Few more. The Celica is also mine.

 

[mecevans]

I want a Celica so bad... Whats in it 1UZ?

 

[scotty]

No conversion, just the stock 18C-R. Absolute mint condition, going to be kept original.

 

[rodel]

How about sharing interior and engine pics of the Celica?

 

[scotty]

That's all pictures I have of it at the moment.

 

[rodel]

Beautiful!
