Celica RA64 1UZ Swap - Final Suspension Upgrades (Ep. 16)

[@nunuland69]

That sucks you cut the outer tie rod to much. Great job on the installation and the tip for the correct positioning of the outer tie rod to the knuckle point. I was trying to find someone that had installed those correctly and you're the man!!

This car is really bad ass.

I wish these cars had more aftermarket support. One of the reasons I sold my RA65 was the simple lack of even OEM style rear suspension parts. Not sure if I'll ever make it out to the west coast, but it would be cool to have pictures of my two tone blue 85 Corvette parked next to your two tone Celica.

Was hoping you’d do a video on this! Read through your suspension forum probably 100 times haha! I’d totally pull the trigger on my T3 cart if I didn’t have to rebuild my 302 now :(

Nice! Not sure if it was just the camera angle, but looked lower on the driver side when you were rolling her in the garage.

[@winguard96]

Slightly??? I see what you're seeing though

[@Spirit-hime]

Awesome upgrade. Where did you pick up the new front lower control arm?

I saw on the original 22re you had an igniter setup. Can you send me details on how to fix that. I have an 85 gts convertible that has been in my basement all summer trying to repair. I put the gem igniter in parallel but it isn’t working right. Any advise would be great. Or better yet post a video of it. Thanks

[@winguard96]

@@scottthompson968 the GM HEI igniter doesn't work on '85+ because of the electronic ignition advance. You'll have to find a replacement 1985 unit or 1UZ swap to fix it. 😁

Any DMV update video ref bar smog certification video. Pass the link

@@chinolovesjesus I've heard some bad news regarding others who called the BAR and were told the automatic transmission absolutely has to be paired with the engine for the swap. I believe this is false from the perspective that the Auto trans is not a smog control device. All you should theoretically need are the 4x O2 sensors, 3x cats, EGR, Stock ECU and spark control, EVAP canister and a working check engine light.
