Thats well low shahidafridi not sure if you can get under car covers for the celica though, ive seen them for escort cossies and vectras but they were proper racing cars. just have a search on the internet you may find one. not sure how you'd fit it

[daktari]

Speed humps are a modders nightmare. :ffs: things. The best you`ll be able to do is get skid pan for under engine area. You won`t be able to get any thing to stop the front spoiler grounding. Unless of course you fit air or hydraulic suspension.

[cookci]

its the snow plough attachment u have on the front that'l be causing u the trouble ;)

[cookci]

the only protection u need for under the car wud be a sump protector really unless u rallying it? :D

[GT4 BOOSTER]

celica aleady has a sump guard fitted as standard ,depends how old the springs are now, they do go soft. either fit spax or similar or go to 17" rims.better still do both.

if its has race struts then rase car to 3 1/2in floor to bumper, as 3in is the min height in the uk from floor to bumper. My Supra was 3in floor to bumper and theres nothing you can do unless you put a 1/4in thick steel plate across the hole of the bottom on the car as i use to ground my floor pan on Tessco car parks.

id be intrested to know the spec of you set up as you could be putting a strain on the rest of the parts. theres only so much a angle the drive shafts and streering can take. theres a mod that will sort so you can do if you want it low to sort out the angles of driveshafts so on find pics on the net to show you.

If your lowering your car for air flow improvement or is it low for looks?

i just looked at your pic again the gap is ok between wheel and tyre.

the setting could be on soft which will have your ride even lower in which case ferm the ride up by turning the scew, is there a screw on the side of the top strut? it will say soft >>>> hard. depending what struts your using.

your using 16s try a mate 17s on ya ride if you can

again its a case of being there and looking how to sort it as dnt know how old the set up is.

you can always start coming to Milton Keynes that will be two Cleica that go there then lol its ram packed so you need to be there at 6pm to get a parking space next to the hockey stadum incase you didnt know and be able to talk about each others cars and ideas at the car there? Milton Keynes meets have clubs parked together and make and models all in a row.

hey IanGT i dont know much about the blitz sus but id strongly recommend the HKS filter, noise wise its definatly loud but in a good way if you know what i mean!(no overpowering, or whistling, just SOLID intake noise) Performance wise id say it provides improved engine response, horsepower and torque!

Hope that helps!
