Def need coilovers for the front with the offset -30mm or spacers. the rear I think might work but most likey would have to have spacers too.

On the front I think you could get away with the OE fenders but it would be close as I'm almost touching the inner upper fender. the rears are almost perfect, though I'd like a bit more positive offset. I have a few spacers here and when I roll the rear fenders I'll throw 'em on.

Thanks man, sorry I didn't see you if you were in a RX.

As far as the fenders these are the "wide body" set from Corksport. the fit is pretty good, just that the verts have extra bracing right where the vent is so it will tend to stress crack there. Otherwise good finish and easy install.

Haha the freedom of out capital city man. All of these walls are within a 1/2 mile of each other in downtown Oly. Just drive down 4th ave and start looking up and down the sidestreets and you'll see all the cramped lil alleys.

And dude I for sure don't hate on the rolla's...






This is my rolla that sits in storage. Turbo/ITB's/ and a HKS 1.8 stroker bottom end with TRD 10:1 forged slugs

Sweet 'rolla, brings me back to my Toyota roots (3SGTE MR2 GT-S)...

I've never seen a 1.8 litre 4AGE before though, that ought to be a beast to drive!

From what i can see on the 'rolla is the only thing left stock in the engine bay is the oil cap. . . sick car dude. The seven is one of the more unique sevens ive seen. I remember back when i was broke down on 405 i saw you go by. At the time i had mixed feelings on the car but ive come to the conclusion that i like it. sweet work.

Did you have to do anything to the fenders, or did they line up perfectly?

Well they're not perfect and if i was really fussy i could have sanded them a bit more but as far as install and fitment it went off w/o a hitch. Like I said on verts there is a huge welded brace that connects the the chassis to the front clip. It's a nice brace but plays hell with the inner vent on the fenders. The fenders bend to accomadate but they might develop a small crack in them like mine did. Doesn't hurt the structure just needs to be addressed cosmetically if you are so inclined.
Lol for my car it looks the part of the theme.
