Hello fellow Celica Fans.
I'm a newbie. I've had a '97 Celica GT Convertible for a couple years. Fun car to drive on a sunny day. But I love watching the rally races on YouTube, and have longed to get my hands on an All Trac. So, finally my dream was realized last week. I found the white '90 Celica All Trac for sale and bought it. Completely stock except for coilover suspension. Feel very fortunate.
Got the Owners Manual with the vehicle, but there was no paperwork for the coilovers, and the owner I bought from wasn't sure which brand they are (purchased by a previous owner), but he thought they are Tein. But I'm not sure. They are not green, but I don't know if all Tein coilovers are green or not. I have a picture of the upper mount and I'm wondering if anyone could ID the coilovers from the picture. Part of the top plate is violet in color (purple). It rides very stiff, can feel every small defect in the road and feels like it bottoms out easily. I would like to learn how to adjust these, once I discover the brand.
I have much to learn and so appreciate any help you all can provide. I'm wondering where I can post the picture of the strut mounting so you can see it.
Thanks much!
