ive been thinking about getting one for the last few months and now that i need a new slave cylinder, i guess i may as well break down and get one.
the lines are high quality braided SS, made by technafit, and they are avaliable for both W58s and R154s, so you mkIII guys arent excluded. :)
ive been quoted $28.85 for the line, fairly sure it was US$, but it did include shipping.
im thinking if a few people get in on this, he would probably drop the price.
im trying to get details, but its tough to sell a GB without knowing how many people might be interested. |

| Other than the bling factor I don't see a reason for them...count me in. I spend more time under the car than in it so I might as well make it nice inder there. I see a disco ball differential mod coming soon. |

they give a bit nicer pedal feel... not a big thing, but if your trying to launch it could definitely be a factor.
plus hey, go ask toyota for the cost on a factory line ;) im sure this will make sense then, lol. |

I'd be interested in one, Barry. Have you considered adding their brake line kit as well? The same kit will fit my car and MK2's. This would eliminate all rubber hose from the hydraulic systems, reducing potential problems. Firms up the brakes as well.

ok, details... details are good.
talking to Aaron right now, he says that for four clutch lines, or a similar quantity, we would be looking at $20/each plus shipping.
us dollars of course, but a good price.
he also has numerous custom and maintenance parts on his site www.rabidchimp.com.
so far weve got:
Dogstar
HeavyEarly87T
celica83_gts (TOY-1128)
ps: bob, i actually put stainless lines on with my brakejob two weeks ago... i agree, very nice. :) |

| if only i had waited, lol, oh well i like them, i suggest that anyone that can afford to do it should. they look nice, the pedal feel is great and using DOT 4 and speed bleeders as barry did made bleeding easy and braking power very nice. |

| Oops, I said the same brakeline kits fit Supras and Celicas. Technafit has different part#'s for them, there must be some reason. The Celica GTS part is TOY-1128, the Supra part is TOY-1340. Don't know the difference, though I'd guess it's at the front wheels. |

| Aaron can get any lines you want, he orders most from them direct as a supplier, he gets them within 4 bussiness days, then he ships them out, he can get lines for a lawnmower if you give him lengths, lol. And if your ordering new then he can and will give you a good deal especially if we do a GB. in fact i want his oil line set for myself for when i go turbo. so hook me up doggie. |

so far weve got:
Dogstar (clutch)
HeavyEarly87T (clutch)
Supra_devil (oil lines)
im probably going to close the order on wednesday night, to give Aaron some time to order things on his end, and get us prices.
so, if theres anything else you want or need, just let me know. |

Let me know when you need the cash & the $CAN amount and I'll hook up with you & pay you directly before the end of the week prefered.

| Sorry guys, I have to bail on the GB. I've been informed by Mrs. Celica that finances don't allow for this purchase at this time. Thanks Dogstar, for your time and trouble. |
|
|
| dogstar |
ok, got prices...
shipping, id say was a pretty good deal... $10 bucks, lol.
ill PM you with pricing Earl. |
|
|
| HeavyEarly87T |

|
| azntunedbysti |
| how much is it for the brake lines? |
|
|
| dogstar |
hey earl...
been in contact with aaron, but due to the long weekend and a miscommunication on my part there has been a delay.
i understand that they should be going out on monday and i would assume will arrive before the weekend.
im sorry dude, i know your just jonesing for the bling.
;)
azntunedbysti, what car are the brakelines for?
if its for a celica gts, i can look up the price, but for any other car they might be a slightly different price and ill have to contact him for a quote. |

Aaron sent me an email this morning, there was a problem with the post office on friday, and it has gone out today.
im really hoping to get this stuff before the end of the week.
he also wanted to apologize for the delays. |
|
|
| HeavyEarly87T |
| So that means I can't get the car going till Saturday...bummer. |
|
|
| dogstar |
