Hey guys this is my first post on this forum. I was wondereing if it would be possible to entirely get rid of the standard 84' GT brakes and install BIG 4 wheel aanti-lockers? I know ot would be expensive but is it possible?

If you are looking for anti lock brakes, I think the cost of that would be way too much. If I am correct there is a manufacturer in Australia but its over 5000. However with enough money, anything is possible

Anti-Lock brakes are no fun <_<

I'm getting the turbo kit around december (hopefully) I am gona need better brakes? My GT just has 2 disk 2 drum. And yes one of the downfalls of anti lock is ya can't powerbrake.

Luckily, the Supra rear end swap gives you rear discs.

What does that cost?

Never did it, so not too sure. I think one or two people on the forum have done it. Steve had done it, he would probably be the best person to ask. Also he posted his experience with it on his web site

Would you suggest trying it? Can a nearly stock celica beat a nearly stock civic 1.6? I've had my engine shaved and bored with an intake. I'm getting ready to get the body kit,rims,and exhaust. MY friend just has intake and exhaust on his civic.

A 3rd gen celica should be any non-vtech civic. as long as you have a manual... unlike me, i'm stuck with a shitty automatic.

Anyone know where you can get rollbars for an 84'? I wanna 2 seater!

I also want to do that mod in my Supra. I do not know where that guy got that nice roll bar... possibly ToySport or it could be custom.

Toysport always expensive.

You are gonna have to get a custom one made. I say skip on the bodykit and just focus on performance.

Will the Supra rear end swap over to the GT? What about a GTS rear end into a GT?

No, the GT has solid rear axel... and the Supra and GTS have IRS. You can swap a Supra Rearend into a GTS.

You can actually swap a first generation supra rear end into a 3rd generation celica.

Should I wait until I get the turbo kit before getting headers and exhaust so I Don't have to redo the headers,exhaust,etc.? What exhaust sounds best for a celica?
