Carl, im looking forward to these....

well damn that sux, but oh well.

how's about a group buy discount on the cooling panels whenever they are done (hey its worth a try) :D

looking forward to it too.
my stock plastic one is all brittle/cracked/broken, plus i got a lot of stickers (inner ricer) saved up to decorate a pretty stainless one :D

Hey, same here. i have a really cool ron davis racing one that i just got :D

Wow, I've seen more things come out for the alltrac in the past year than I have ever seen in my years of being in the community.

I hope their are working on my new shifter bushing project as well. :D

I think I might need one of these cooling panels, my plastic one has bit the dust.

No updates on these as of yet - still working on this project.

We have some other All trac projects in the works - which have been taking up some time.

I will keep you guys updated on our new items, as much as I can :)

the cooling panels as far as i know are the same in all 5th gen celica's 90-93 so ya'll could really sell quite a few of these here & to the guys & gals over on celicatech & ebay too so, its not just a specialized alltrac only part.

that's a nice way of saying make the panels :D

Hey guys - we would love to make a cooling panel ASAP, I am really sorry that we can't just have them made right away. I know there has been a few months backlog for us looking at these, but we need a more stockish 185 in house to look at for desining these. When John's car was in house, that car had so many modifications and new pieces we wanted to look at fitment on another alltrac first. We have a local friend, with a pretty much stock engine back 185, that we can get in, but we have other products we are making too.

Along with the alltrac market, we have the mr2 market, some new scion parts, and many other general toyota items. On top of all that, we have had a steady flow of customer swap cars in house and interesting projects to deal with, so rest assured that these cooling panels will hopefully be out there for you sooner then later, but protoyping and designing new items is not as easy as "bending a piece of metal" :) Especially when you have are a shop that caters to communities like the alltracs and MR2's, who have different modding tastes then a a lot of other crowds. We like to ensure a quality design, a good material, and an item that you guys can be proud to own instead of a thrown together piece of junk. That takes extra time, and needs to get balanced between the loads of parts requests we get on the forums.

Thanks for all the support, when I have pictures of a design, you know they will be up here. You guys have seen what we engineer, and the quality is never an issue once it is out!!!

Nate, let me know if you need me to make a flat pattern DXF file for getting it lasered out when you come up with a design. You know me....I work for Speed-Source parts or at least to chance to buy the first ones produced.

Sorry Guys, with the custom radiator Carl did for my car he was afraid to use my car to design the panel on, I should have kept a better eye on this thread but forgot about it.
