st150,
sorry for not replying earlier...have not been checking this forum for quite some time liao...heheheh!
anyway, finally changed my front shocks, mountings, lower arm bushes...handling has improved, though i think it can be improved further still. don`t know if my rims are out, or wheels still not balanced properly as when i hit 100-120kph, the front vibrates a lot.
also, when i turn fully to the left and start moving, i noticed that my front right wheel is exhibiting a positive camber, thus making my turning radius damn big. but camber positions and alignment i`ve done liao...so, what can be the problem leh?
one more problem...the wiper sweeping speed for my car is horribly slow...took apart the motor the other day to `service` a little, and still the same problem. can we replace the motor with something from the celica? or what can be done to it to move fast again?

Ah, so relieved that everyone`s being so understanding.
As for XtasCie, the next round of TT will be definately on u ! Haa...Haa...! I wouldn`t know just yet how the shox will perform or last `coz my old timer`s still in the painter`s. Will keep u posted.
Coach,
No prob with the Celica steering `coz if I can get my seat lowered, most probably I`ll be using the Celica steering again, u know, just imagining that I`m actually driving a Celica instead my dreadful old timer.
Ah, I couldn`t agree with u more on the ST150 is more than a pain in the butt to modify !! The ST150 has no parts for modification purposes to begin with ! At least the AE80/LE has a GT model (Levin) cousin to transform to but the Corona....AArghh.....well, it wasn`t designed/meant for sporty purposes in the first place, what can we say, except we M`sians being famous for our creativeness in modifying every damn thing that comes our way- M`sia Boleh !
The other thing is, I`m so lonely being the privilege of the very rare breed of owners of a ST150 with a 3S heart ! I would really like to get to know anyone who has the same "Frankenstein" with me. At least I`ve seen quite a number of ST150s with the 4A series but yet to come across any with a 3S, lagi boring !
As for the Gathering, I hope to do it somewhere in the end of May `coz there`s 2 public holidays in a row; the Prophet Mohd. B/day (25/5/02) & Wesak Day (26/5/02) which falls on a Sunday & automatically replaces it on the next day which is a Monday, moreover, it`s the school holidays. So, we have long week end there, any suggestions ?
Why don`t u guys in KL confere over it, especially XtasCie sifu, round up the gang; preferbly modded Toyotas for a pre-gathering discussion over a cup of TT at Tmn. Tun. , what say u ?
Regards.
