I just bought a 1984 Celica XT and started working on preparing it for drag use. Somehow, after market parts are very hard to find. This is why I need some help from u guys.
 Thanks

What are you trying to get exactly? I haven't had dramas finding similar stuff (MA61 supra/MX62 cressida etc)....
Kings & whiteline etc do springs, superpro & nolathane etc do bushes as far as I'm aware, monroe/pedders/tokico/kyb/koni/billstien etc would make shocks suitable....thats just off the top of my head...
Btw its an RA65 not and RA61 
Cheers

Do you think he meant MA61 ? as logic would suggest their suspension would be better.
but if your making a drag car i'd assume you would want solid axle ?

Maybe, but the way that he referred to is as a '1984 Celica XT' made me think he was actually thinking about a celica...there never made XT supra's

Ok guys, just bought the car so it seems that I need to know more about it!! Been a nissan fan for the last couple of years (owning a 350z).
As I mentioned, it's an '84 celica XT coupe (not hatch nor Supra!)
It's this shape but with the different headlights.
I live in the middle east and it's not easy to find aftermarket stuff for this machine. Just to let you know, I will drop a 2jz-gte in that girl!! 
So, if any of you know an online store that i can order and get it shipped internationally, plz let me know.
All your help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Good luck finding what you need.
