Springs cut - Toyota Celica, 1.8 L, 2001

Springs cut - Toyota Celica 18 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

I don't argue better :)
And the collective farm sometimes gives positive results;)

there are still many improvements ahead, but now the car looks an order of magnitude better than the stock silver

As they say on the collective farm, well done =)

A barbaric approach, here is a crisis ...))) I wonder how this will affect the suspension.

don't worry, you still have to cut the springs on the Audi ...

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!

at night I looked at the wall as the light falls - everything is smooth

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))

T
Testasteros 09.12.20

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

B
Bibberfell 09.12.20

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?

in general, we are waiting for a photo report :-)

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

I do not smoke

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!
