Another reincarnation. I hope that the last one :) - Toyota Caldina, 2.0L, 2000
For a long time I haven't laid out anything and haven't written anything ... With Kaldos we are at a kind of stage of reincarnation - reworking the existing one and creating the missing one for the chosen style. I don’t remember whether I said it or not, I decided to choose the style of ring cars for the most part of the Japanese championships (not to be confused with JGTC). I think that I am on the right track in adhering to this style, it is very impressive for its unaffectedness and real fighting spirit.
So. At the moment, the front bumper is almost finished. Strongly overloaded visually, but also as functional as possible - again, following the chosen style. It remains to trim and blow out a little with a topcoat.
From the modifications from the drain -
1) Made large vertical blows to cool the brakes + visually expanding the bumper itself.
2) Made a place for the corrugation of the cold air supply to the Federal Tax Service.
3) On the lateral gills, the central jumper is removed - IMHO an unsuccessful element, in its current form the classic gills are more to my liking.
4) Made a niche for the number - it's just a must have, period.
5) Purchased carbon diffuser brackets.
6) Well, the highlight of the program, the diffuser itself. Soon I will shoot the matrix and make myself the same one as in the photo, by the well-known blanket company Eurou. Of the huge advantages is that it will not be just a visual feature, but will serve to stabilize the air flow under the bottom and cool some parts of the car.
7) A towing eyelet has been ordered.
8) Installed carbon ailerons to create additional. downforce.
I am ready to listen to criticism, flattering reviews, discontent, etc. the main thing is to be "constructive" as they say :)
Thank you, and I strive for this. Damn, the most important thing is not to overdo it, the main thing is not to overdo it ...
On the machine, many holes are closed - frontal, pipes, corrugation ... On it they are not very striking. Now, of course.
We need to figure out how everything will be in fotozhaba)
PS: how can I imagine that in spring almost the same thing will have goosebumps, living in the garage again)
In my opinion, the bumper came out! Lenich BO, BO, carbon diffuser brackets, just fucking will be. Direct PPC highlight. I imagined it. and then there are carbon ones, in general beauty. Yes, it remains to make the differential itself, and already collect this whole thing. Well, it is very interesting to see how it should look atrocious in real life on a car. When every "hole" in the bumper will have its own element! WE WAIT!
I agree, therefore, the sticker was removed at the end of November, simultaneously with the painting.
And the sticker, by the way, was not just RUS,
but RUS nestle, because apparently the car participated in the Finn in races, during the time it was owned by the St. Petersburg guys ...
And, everything, I understand;) Well, yes, you need to + tear off this shabby RUS sticker. Your Celica's charisma is excellent, the disks are a Japanese highlight in this dominance of tattered Taiwan on the counters weighing 15 kg, one disk, the suspension of the leading Japanese manufacturers ... And then this sticker.
I didn’t laugh,
I realized that I really don’t have railroad cars with the pipe,
look at the pictures! ;)
You shouldn't laugh, I didn't make it up. Any tuning school, be it Japanese, European or American, has its own chips.
Maybe you wanted to say that I may be overly fanatical about the style ... And to hell with him! Chasing! I have set this goal and will strive for it :)
Cybermaxy
1) 2 really pop, do 3, one at a time - they don't look at all
2) I thought the ailerons themselves are made in the form of corners and are fastened with rivets, it seems to me that this is more reliable and no extra mass.
3) in appearance - the brackets will withstand the coupling of the Kamaz and the bulldozer, the most likely weak points are the attachment points to the diffuser. Then it is more logical to assume that the diffuser can be fixed from the inside tightly than from the outside with brackets. + air resistance, but this can not be taken into account, but the air currents change not for the better, and finally the visual row ... I personally see them as bra shoulder straps at the diffuser, as if it cannot hold on on its own.
In general, for an amateur ... but in sports this is rarely used, if only in JDM, and even then rather, as an element of the exterior.
Am I wrong?
For the sake of completeness, in this vein, I make a car speedhunters.com/archive/...-us-time-attack-2009.aspx
As you can see, these, as you say, "straps" are on almost every car and all diffs are fixed rigidly ... So what is it? This is the same as the white wall on rat-bow wheels, the same as the oil cooler hanging on the bumper in the bosozoku style, the same as the JDM not JDM "without a pipe slightly up and to the side". Style element. I believe that the same rivets, diffusers, brackets are such trifles that, in general, create the external image of a combat vehicle, and not a glamorous pontovo car from which, excuse me, you already want to puke.
The car is already done under the JDM roundabout. Well, now take a closer look at the diffuser, the penultimate photo. Naturally, it will be fixed with rivets, or did you think that it would hang like snot on the brackets? :) You can see them in the photo too. In circuit racing, they are used everywhere.
I will leave the ailerons one at a time. Fastening in the form of corners has already been tested, it holds tightly. Although I can make them with an angle without any problems.
What extra weight? :) :) :) :) They are aluminum, well, the weight of both grams will be 20-30 :)

Thanks for the constructiveness! I will answer in order:
1) No, I will make a fiberglass diffuser. The same as it goes in the original. Since I will underestimate the car even further, the likelihood that I can damage it is very high. I can repair fiberglass without any problems, but with carbon fiber it is almost impossible to do it. In fact, I also reviewed a lot of things, so I'll leave the ailerons one at a time, 2 each is too common.
2) In the photo, I fixed them stupidly with plasticine :) Since I will have to paint all this stuff. And the fastening is carried out using small metal corners and rivets.
3) Brackets collective farm? I do not think so. I wonder why?
very good, only the place for a license plate is not particularly suitable for the concept of brutal ring art.
1) will there be a carbon diffuser?
carbon fiber fins do not give me rest! very cool! Already reviewed a bunch of ph in the internet. It looks more spectacular when there are 2 of them on each side and they go in parallel. Although not necessarily the same and parallel. but there must be 2!
2) Another question is: how are they attached to the bumper? can you take a picture and put it here in close-up?
Carbon brackets - IMHO: KOLKHOZ.
everything else is cool.
I especially liked that there are holes under the brakes and coolers-shmullers, etc.
I put 5 - let's get a little
