Hei Jan, great project! 
I'm trying to find suspension parts for my project Levin, especially TRD shocks and springs for the rear (4-5kg). So springs/shock rear, self-made coilovers front, RCA's, camber plates, some bushings (prothane vs new rubber, I'm not sure...) and an LSD overhaul is what I'll do first, I think.
Is there a TRD-dealer in Denmark you got those shocks from? If so, it would be great to get their email-address

Hey Doc!
Sounds as if you have a very nice plan for your car! You might want to consider oem or TRD bushing instead of prothane - they are a bit noisy...
Yeah we got a TRD dealer in DK. I got his mail adress at work so I can send it to you next week Send me an IM if I forget

After the trip to the Ring my car has been a mess  The engine started leaking a lot of oil and coolant on the way home. And the rear leaks a bit as well, not much though... And one of the rear calibers started leaking when I got home 
As if that wasn't enough the equips got damaged by the salt on the drive home. 
Now I ready to try again. The leaks are fixed and I bought these:
I'm going to a trackday this monday and I can't wait to try them out! I haven't driven a single km on these just yet but I'll test them tomorrow 
I'm looking forward to see if my brakes will hold up allright

So you're going to brake them in properly. 
But what happened to the equips? You didn't cover the entire rim with top-coating?

Yeah I'll try to brake them in properly  Today I'll warm them up slowly and then take them off the car to rest 24h. That should be the proper way... It should make them last longer and have more grip
The salt made them corrode and I can't get them to shine like before the trip They simply have a lot of small holes. They had a sealing layer but that wasn't enough aginst the salt... Luckily I had two of them in the boot due to tire faliure - so only two have to be proffesionaly repolished

Ah okay I see.
I wanted to know because I'm going to refurbish the Celica Supras soon myself. Good to know I need to be very careful with the sealing layer...

The trackday went really well! Only problem was with the radiator cap The track was Padborg Park wich is a Danish Touring Car track.
The car had a lot of grip! We pulled 1,2 g around the corners and there is some improvements to do in tirepressure and wheels angels...
Even with the Toyos the brakes worked really well (stock discs/mintex 1144/regular fluid)! Discs both front and rear turned slightly blue so the the balance was great - No sign of fade
I was affraid that I would get passed all the time as the old AE had the lowest power there, but I think I was in the faster half I went around just as fast as a brand new Civic TypeR and faster than an M5, CRX VTi, Mini Cooper, MR2 SC and so on

Now I really have to get the 20V ready and drop in the car: My good old blue top is dead RIP
It died because of too low fuel pressure, it got too hot and now the oil presure is bad It is still running but it wouldn't be a worthy death so I decided to pull the plug I wish she could have gone while doing 7k rpm at the Ring. This is a bit easier though...
But tonight I started getting ready for the swap: The harness is gone and the engine is ready to come out. I just need to unbolt the bonnet and We're good to go More to come...

when done, do an engine overhaul on the bluetop and keep it as a spare or so
Good luck with the swap!
