Springs cut - Toyota Celica, 1.8 L, 2001
devices and materials:
grinder, blowtorch, spring ties, jack and a set of keys
as I said, the clearance was too big (photo 1)
referring to the global financial crisis and the massive psychosis caused by it, it was decided not to change the springs for sports ones together with shortened struts, but simply cut them
the suspension design made it possible not to disassemble the racks,
then everything is simple, we measure, cut, heat, bend
to find out how much the car looks better tomorrow evening we go here
Price tag: 48 ₽ Mileage: 93,000 km"to find out how much the car looks better tomorrow evening we go here"
read the last line, there is a blizzard in the south and it's already dark, we will take a photo tomorrow, then lower the front axle too
there are still many improvements ahead, but now the car looks an order of magnitude better than the stock silver
A barbaric approach, here is a crisis ...))) I wonder how this will affect the suspension.
when the factory ruins are cut and everything remains stock, the car begins to behave as if a couple of sacks of potatoes were loaded into it!
but it all looks unrealistically cool!
I am for all the cars to lie on the belly!
the hydraulic regulator apparently adjusts automatically :)
simply, there are a lot of those who put a bolt on the headlight setting, they slam xenon, one headlight shines into the ceiling, the second into the bushes))
they do not blind, they shine evenly, as they should, as in front of a throw - I will set up so that they do not shine on the floor
the optics were adjusted at least so as not to dazzle?)) otherwise the back fell, and the headlights in the ceiling will shine from this
while only the backside, then the bumper was not yet standing, we will also throw a little in front
Cutting without removing from the car, this is a tough thing, how lazy a Russian person is, there it would be half an hour of work to take them off and it would be more convenient and neat. This is how to change panties without taking off your pants))) Did you also cut before or just the backside?
for the winter you need a cruiser 80, and for the summer a selica planted to spread on the asphalt
the assembled machine has become, clearly behaves in maneuvers
yeah, but what about the driving experience? here in Siberia, for example, if I slashed the springs on my Levin, it would be impossible to ride in winter, because the roads are swept away they are cleaned badly in general, tin, you need to have another car for the winter
thanks! like 2 cut, but I don’t remember exactly, I then cut it a little more, 18 wheels rubbed a little on the bumps, but I bent everything there, now I don’t rub, all the rules, but there is nowhere below!
