Varis USA is now up...

NEVERSTOP - Shipping to where?


4-pts should be able to retain the rear seats and trim and make the car more rigid and safe. Chromoly is a little stonger and lighter than Steel. Shipping to Quebec, Canada would probable be around $160ish.

To clear things up, you should NEVER run harnesses without at least having a roll bar. It is extremely dangerous if you get into a roll over crash.

Harnesses are best mounted to points on the car, NOT the roll cage or rollbar. I have mine mounted on the stock seatbelt points where the rear seats used to be.




So basically, you do NOT want a roll cage with a harness bar, it adds unneccesary weight and in many cases is not the best way to mount harnesses in your car. The only Cusco cage I know that has a harness bar is for the S2000 because it&s a convertable 2-seater.

No problem as long as it's ok with the buyer.

Sex408 - Bulletproof is one of the largest Cusco Dealers in the U.S.

I will try to find some pics on one of the Japanese Celica websites...Cusco does not have any pics to offer.

The catalog groups them together so I have no way of knowing if the rear two points will work without some modification. To be safe, if you have a coupe and you plan to order a cage, I would suggest to be prepared for some modification.

More JDM goodness for the 6th gen Celica. If you have or plan on installing harnesses in your celica, these are a must. I've seen roll bars/cages save lives. These are listed as being for the ST202 and ST205. They will most likely need to be ordered from Cusco Japan because Cusco USA does not keep these in stock. Expect 6-12 weeks from the date you place your until the time of delivery. (they will be ordered as people place their orders) The full amount of the cage is due when you place your order however shipping (if needed) can be billed once the cage arrives in our U.S. warehouse. To place your orders, call up Tim at (310)327-4676. (be sure to specify if you have a sunroof or not as it DOES matter) Acceptable forms of payment are: Check, Cash, Money Order, Bank Wire, and Credit Card. (sorry, no paypal)

Please ask all questions in this thread and keep them on topic. I will answer them as quickly as I can.

The 4 pt does not have the front bars that go in front of the front seats.

i'm still waiting for our dealer in japan to get back to us on them.

About a week left on this group buy.

I'm not chopping up my ST185 to do it. I just got a ST205 WRC edition engine and tranny to swap in the ST185 (not to mention some cams and other power-aiding mods) and that's how it's going to stand.

Reinforcement of the rear is an obvious issue but I believe if it is done properly, it will not have stability issues.

Added Z-Glide Kits 1-4 as well as their aero mirrors and rear wing.

question.....what broke and why?

The only difference on the ST205 chassis is the rear. I am aware I will need to fabricate custom engine mounts, make adjustments and additions to the front steering and suspension setup, a custom driveshaft, and a custom gas tank.

The reason I won't use a ST205 to base this off of is cost and legality. Although a 3SGTE swap is by no means legal, the chassis would be.

Being the U.S. representative for Varis, I've been toying around with doing another project car for them. I've seen alot of attempts at turning 6th gen celicas into ST205 GT-FOURs but I also saw a guy in Australia who turned a ST185 GT-FOUR into a RWD monster by dropping a Lexus V8 in it and making it RWD.

Seeing as how the U.S. Spec Celicas have the driveshaft tunnel and I already have a AWD Celica, I've been thinking it would be pretty dope to convert a U.S. Spec 6th gen into RWD with a 3SGTE. I already have a spare rear diff from my ST185 which is a small, yet vital, part that I will need....

What are your thoughts on such a project??

All the prices INCLUDE the import and shipping fees from Japan. All you pay is domestic freight or FREE pickup if you're local to us near Los Angeles.

please do not respond with prices in this thread, i am adding all of the products as i type this...

keep those orders comin' in. If this goes realy well, we may build a demo vehicle in the US.

Andason, these are not going to be sold by me personally, I'm adding them to the bulletproof website. (i don't handle the money nor do i profit from it)

I'll add all the parts you guys have posted to the website on monday. Keep the suggestions coming!!

I have resources all over Japan and I know there must be more parts available for the 6th Gens than what I have listed on my work's homepage. In this thread, please submit and parts that you have interest in from japan that aren't already listed on this page:
