Hey mate, They are not installed yet, but they are the same as an AE82 corolla, just in reverse. Front Bearing NSK: 28BWD01ACA60 Rear Bearing NSK: 38BWD01A1ACA147 maj Do you still have the part numbers for the bearings? bit of a belated welcome to the 8E3 SC adub clan too.

You won't regret the Brake cylinder stoppers, should be the first on the to do list for any car, especially before upgrading any brake components because of pedal feel, crappy braking. MK1corse Nice work! Adub is looking sweet inside and out! Cheers for the hot tip with the super edition seats and Bride RO rails! Must get one of those brake cylinder stoppers.

Anyway, the works bell parts turned up so I installed them. Now I can switch between the Nardi and the Momo whenever I feel like it. Plus the added security of not leaving the steering wheel in the car is pretty funny too.

Got a new front Lip, anyone with a keen eye wanna guess which one it is?  Following the trend with a doggy pic Looks like I'll get a respray done soon as the whole front end has loads of stone chips.

KBOX in Canada will have the replacement rubber trim for the front spoiler available again soon which I think works with the TBS lip. They have been out of stock for a while now. Thast assuming you are putting the trim back on like stock? EDIT: Actually in stock now for 19.95

Cheers for the KBOX info. Not entirely sure yet about the rubber trim, either that or just sikaflex. Not sure if I am going to respray the same colour either, I love black but the Mica Blue is pretty awesome too. Probably stick with Mica Blue until the full strip restoration later.

Just a follow up, I've confirmed that the below NSK bearings are the right ones for the car, the part numbers are correct and is definitely OEM Toyota. Can't go wrong by going direct to the manufacturer and only paying half price. Front Bearing NSK: 28BWD01ACA60 Rear Bearing NSK: 38BWD01A1ACA147 Other than that, all the handling part is already installed and the car is getting an alignment tomorrow, finally.....

Bloke do love your work. Blue mica looks freaking sweet in the sun. Curious with the Bride RO rail / Recaro combo - care to share more infos?! Brilliant idea, they look like they work and fit perfectly. Did you need an adapter plate or anything special to make it work?!

Yeap, they fit perfect, absolutely no issue at all. The adapter plate is not required, nothing else to it, just get the seats and the rails and chuck it in. Super easy.

Are the correct Bride RO rail part numbers T048RO & T047RO? Do the rails come with the bolts to attach the seats to them? If so there are some on Ebay in QLD for about $270 each s2d4
