Well I have no clue where you headed with your Celica, & I am not here to bash you or anything negitive. Learning new things are always good but on your profile you wrote you have alredy installed ( Dolecek Racing Cold Air Intake, Bosch Platinum & Nitrous Oxide )
Which bring me to a point to ask .... how does your car handle when you press the NOS? Most people seem to start of they're car with handling instead of things they seen on the movie Fast & The Furious. You should stop by your local automotive shop / store & pic up some reading materials(For exp. Repair Manual) which would cost you about $9.99 ~ what ever price. It'll start you off some where with some ideas of the car rather then asking 100 question at a time, reading & seeing what's under the hood of your own car is the best way of learning about your car rather then just asking.[right][snapback]354824[/snapback][/right]
That's a little outdated but my car handled surprisingly well with the Nitrous Oxide setup I had. And it wasn't NOS, mines was ZEX. I didn't get the nitrous because of The Fast and The Furious. I know that nitrous oxide alone with no other major mods is a very bad idea. I just made sure my basics were all good. You know, premium grade fuel, cold sparks(I wasn't using platinum. I switched over to copper sparks when I had the nitrous). Inspected all the lines before each run, etc. But yeah, I'll definately pick up one of those manuals and read up on it. I didn't start off my car with handling because I haven't done any major mods. I'm planning on major mods soon though so that's why I'm looking into handling now. And I'm gong to upgrade the braking system as well. I just like to start projects to learn little by little and at the same time making my car better.

....dude....4 pieces. one per corner. again, would you like me to out to my car and take a f*cking picture for you?
  and it's not so much searching this site, use the INTERNET. 6gc is not the only place to find celica parts.

f uck it then. i was just tyring to understand how this works. i wasnt born into cars and i know you dont have to be and still know a lot of stuff but i recently got into the whole car thing. so i dont know sh!t about suspension or springs, struts, shocks, sway bars, etc. i apologize for pissing you off but theres been times where i didnt understand something at all here and people actually post pictures of what things look like and what they're called, what they do, etc and i learn like that. i guess i'll just leave the whole suspension thing for last because it bothers you to explain something to me in detail. or i guess i'll try asking my friend who works at toyota to explain it to me since he has more patience. i know you didnt mean to come off as a whatever you wanna call it because i know how it is when you know something that to you it's so simple and it takes the other person a while to get it. but that's cool bro. thanks for your help anyway. i appreciate it. i did search the internet but i'd rather have it be celica spec so that i understand it better.

ya know..i didn't know anything about my celica untill i came across this site. everything that i have learned, i learned by doing research. go through the parts database and when you see something that interest you, google it or whatever.

what are you trying to understand? what shocks/struts do? what? maybe i can still help you out. MAYBE. >smile.gif>
