slowjoe Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 im finding it pretty much impossible to find mods for the g7 celica on the major internet sights. i asked a jap specialist garage near me if there was anything they could suggest while they fitted some springs to my car and this is a paste of the reply ... , , Hi Joseph, Thank you very much for your enquiry. Yes we can install your springs and brake pads for you. The geometry will also need to be recalibrated afterwards too. We do have a range of tuning options available for this car, and there are some very significant new products about to be launched too. Please let me know if I can be of any more help. what could he mean by "very significant new products" ? anyone heard or read anything ? ill replying to him after this post.. see what he says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsolentMinx Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 well what kind of mods are you thinking of? and what major internet sites are you looking at? not got a clue of what he's talking about. Why not reply and ask him? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftershock Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 There are plenty of mods for the Gen 7 around, just depends what your looking for. Where have you been looking? Once the springs are fitted the geometry doesnt need to be done until you have driven on them and let them settle. about 100 miles probalby.

rpsmith79 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Not meaning to sound rude or anything, but you don't seem to know a great deal about cars asking questions like that The guys response is more likely to give him time to think up things he can sell you and tell you it will give you XX bhp increase Best place to ask is here, what we don't know isn't worth knowing about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsolentMinx Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) for comedy value I'm interested to hear what "range of tuning options available for this car" they have... and what on earth the "very significant new products about to be launched" are.

slowjoe Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) your right i have no clue about cars thats why im putting his reply on the club to see what everyone says lol. but i will admit i did get a bit excited at the idea of new products coming out. sorry there are mods on the internet for the celica but when you add them up next to the mods you can get for honda type r, nissan skyline etc its not nearly the same what sites does everyone look at? i sent him a reply. it will be interesting to see what he says. so far everything ive got ive run through the club and ill do the same if he suggests anything. they seem like a company with a good name to them, "torque developments international" Edited August 9, 2012 by slowjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsmith79 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 they seem like a company with a good name to them, "torque developments international" Sorry, but anyone can call themselves anything international, don't be suckered in by a name I would be highly surprised if there are any new major developments in Gen 7 Celica tuning coming out in the near future, short of what Se7en does as he is the only company in the UK that i know of who is actively developing any performance products for the Gen 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjoe Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 i checked out se7en quite a few times, actually i think i talked to se7en at japfest. i would def trust them with my celica . i just need to save up and decide what i want first.

Well you know in back to the future 2 when doc comes back to get Marty to take him to the future because his kids are little shits, and when they get in the car and doc reverses backwards and Marty tell doc he needs to go back more cos he won't have enough road to get upto 88mph and doc says "roads? Where we are going we don't need roads!" and the cars wheels fold in and he takes off......... It's nothing like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowchinaman Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think they're making new hydrolics which allows your doors to open upwards and make you look like a knob at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 With new springs you wheels will be at different angles from on standard springs. Wheels aligment checks your cars wheels for their factory set angles. toe, and camber angles are the big ones and are adjustable. Basically they will make your car run straight and handle as it should. best bet is with a computerised 3D Geomotry Check with a rig like this. have a look at this thread: Clickedy Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyRacer Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm keeping a close eye on this thread. Lol. Best companies in the world have been making mods for 7s since 1999. Most still available and CCUK knows all of them one way or another. I've got a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
