Sammakko's first non-toyota, Yeti.
Good afternoon folks.
I've been a toyota guy my whole life, but after renting a GT86 while working in australia, i couldn't get it out of my head. Fast forward a few months, and I purchased used, a 2013 BRZ limited. Mods so far: RPF1's, 17x9, +35 BFG Rivals, 245 40 Supertek intake/filter muffler delete. Mods i'm working on: Koni rear struts, koni rear sleeves and perches, Eibach 450lb springs, HVT rear perches with custom machined lower bushings. Koni front strut inserts, stock strut housings cut off, new perches welded, Allstar Performance sleeves, HVT zero-lift camber plates. I'm intending on fully prepping for STX, but need to sell a few other toys first, including my '74 Celica GT.  more to come! |

i have more welding for the lower perch to finish tomorrow (i hadn't eaten in like 9 hours, so i could only manage a few tack welds on the perches), then a quick cleanup, and off to powdercoating. haven't decided on a color for the housings yet. . .

The celica GT is my dream car! so cool that you owned a nice example like that. Looking forward to seeing more from your build sir!
Any plans for power mods or are you going to focus mainly on the leg work of your car at this point? |

word of advice. if you run across a healthy RA21/TA22, buy it, and then immediatly PM me. i can tell you how not to blow over 10 grand on basically nothing. side note, i did sell it to a guy who didn't destroy (stance)(drift turd) it. |
