Alright, I have a new paint shop in line. I am just waiting for my TRD acceptance to kick in before I start buying part. Once I get the parts, the car goes off once again. I have a rav4 spindle on the way too. I am watching another, but I might wait to purchase it until I test fit the first one.

Can anyone verify if the toyota emblem for the RC/CS hood is the same as the alltrac version. If not, I need a part number please.

I am getting all my parts ordered so I can send the car off.

I have a CS hood in my garage with the emblem on it. they look to be the exact same size, etc. I can measure for sure and take a pic if you like when I get home.
Good Luck

Thanks. I suspect it is the same. I need to see if I can find my old one.

On another note, I decided we all need to do this at the next celica meet.

Thanks.

EDIT:
I found that DBA has an improved online catalog. You can now look up rotors by specs. This will help as I try and figure out the whole rav 4 braking solution.

very interested to see what you are able to fit etc regarding the Rav4 spindle.

We need to make sure there will be enough Celicas to do it...

I will not say too much, but I got something today and its pretty much perfect. Now, I am trying to get a passenger side one. Stay tuned.

Interesting Josh. Keep us posted.

[darthripley]

how about that!

[CMS-GT4]

Now I need someone to confirm that the rear axle splines are the same as the fronts, as I have found the rear wheel bearing are the same PN.

I might be doing this whole conversion all around.

EDIT: So far everything looks to bolt up, except one thing. The tire rod hole diameter is a little bigger, but I think its safe to assume I can just get a set of rav4 tie rod ends and be in business. I can always go custom if I need to.

I don't have a lot of time I can spend on this right now, but once I do, I will pop off the calipers and see how much further the 205 caliper sits above the rotor to get an estimate of rotor sizes that might fit and if I need to consider a bracket.

Waiting with bated breath for pics of test fit.

Approximately how much did the spindle run you?

very good info here.
i am curious as to what calipers will work.
large toyota 5x114.3 rotors are a breeze to find compared to 205 rotors (stateside)
i can think of Supra TT rotors, LS400 & Tundras off the top of my head, but am unsure of the center bore.
is the Rav4 center bore different than the ST185? since I know the ST205 is slightly larger.
