But which kit do I go for they do one for the gen 7 GT and a different one for the GTS?

Oh sorry didnt make that very clear

I have a ST202 3sGE GT and bought a set of ST205 4 pot calipers and discs. My 202 doesnt have superstrut hense the discs dont fit with the calipers as the lugs on the hub are not spaced outwards enough casueing the disc not to fit through the caliper.

So I was thinking about a powerslot big brake kit to go on my st202

Any ideas?

Anyone got a set of Power slot big brakes for a gen 7 to fit a gen 6?

Ive got a set of GT4 ST205 calipers and discs but now I find they dont fit im looking for an alternative.

Any chance of one for the 3SGE being made? Cheapest one I can find for my ST202 3SGE is £696 GBP (HKS) which is around $1100USD

I want to fit a Smaller sportier steering wheel to my ST202 (UK spec). It has a drivers and passenger airbag. If i disconect the airbag will I get a fault light on the dash? How can I remove the fault and will the passanger airbag still work. Someone has metioned putting a resistor accros the airbag connections to remove fault? Anyone done this before?

As far as i know a turbo and manifold from a 3SGTE will bolt onto a 3SGE but im unsure about the FE as i think it has a different head altogether. Different valve angley i believe. Toyota built the FE engines for low down torque and fuel enconomy. It may be possible though. Heres some pics of 3sGTE engine in my 4 when i had to rebuild it.

The 3SGE does not have the oil take for turbo off on the block and the compression rations are different. 3SGTE is 8.5:1 and 3SGE 94-97 is 10.5:1 i think.
As for mapping the engine etc you'd need some sort of piggy back ecu

You'd be better of swapping the whole engine for the 3SGTE it would save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

Does anyone know where to get cheap strut braces from for the ceilica. There is like a million for civics but when it comes to toyota there doesnt seem to be any? Do the Camry ones fit by any chance?

Just had her rolling roaded today. Havn't done any mods yet, standard power is 168bhp, mine was pussing 171bhp. Was happy with that!!!!! Wanna get a de-cat now, and if i can find one a 4-2-1 exhaust header/manifold. Problem is they seem to be a bit rare!!! Anyone know who does em? 3SGE

Im gonna keep a look out for a set of calipers and discs, then when i get hold of some im gonna see if i can get them to fit. Gonna have to get some new wheels first though, cause i think you need 16s to clear the calipers and mine still only has the standard 15's.

PIcked up the st202, and msut say, it handles very well. Ok its on 15's with standard suspension, but it aint bad. Go some lowering springs coming tomorrow and we'll see what she is like with them. I dont think there is gonna be a lot in it you know, super strut and mcferson

Thats why i want them. I had them on my 4 and now i have just the GT, ok i miss the power but miss those huge brakes too!!!

Ah maybe so, might be just my imagination, from what i could find out though the celica is 100kg lighter than the MR2

The CAT is a reqirement for the MOT (Ministry of Transport Test) which is performed yearly, so i can strip of the CAT as long as I keep it to put back in once a year. Probably get away without the EGR, gonna have to take a look how it is all connected! Maybe it just needs a good blow out, its been driven gently by a woman for the last year and not really been driven hard at all.

Hi there, ive just bought a 1997 Celica GT with the 168bhp 2 litre 3SGE engine. I used to have an 1995 MR2 which had the earlier 3SGE engine less the emision control with 174bhp which seemed to be a lot faster than the celica. Does anyone know the diffences between these engines? What can i do to increase the power back to the earlier model. Would an older ECU work?

Can i strip of the emisiion control stuff?

Does anyone know where i can get a 4 into 2 to one exhaist mainfold for the 3SGE lump in the UK. Been searching the net everywhere and can't find anyone who sells them?

Maybe the hubs are different on the superstrut as they have a balljoint on top of them and two on the bottom to connect them to the super strut. I spose it depends on wether the ssIII have the same calipers and dsics as a GT? If they do then i would imagine a GT4 4 pot would fit on a gt as "ka2" has done it on his SS3.

Well i might be able to tell you soon, the difference in driving. I had the ST205 with Superstrut suspension, (which needed parts replacing when i had it as they where out at 60k miles). This cost me the best part of £500, which consisted of 2 camber control links and one bottom arm. Anyway have got rid of the GT4 (found it to be a little unreliable and very juicy on fuel) and am on the look out for a GT ST202. So when i get hold of one i'l be able to see what all the fuss is about.

If you wanted to change to super strut i think you'll need the following parts, new subframe, 2x no.1 bottom arms, 2x no 2 bottom arms 2x camber control links 2x new shocks and springs.

From Memory (could be slightly wrong) new from toyota
Subframe £????
Bottom Arm no 2 £280ea
Bottom Arm no 1 £120ea
Camber link £90
Shocks £ 150ea

Thats £1280 and that doesnt include subframe!!!!

Will the 4 POT GT4 Calipers and discs fit on other models? SS3's have the same suspension but are they the same hubs? Do they fit on non super strut cars?

Ok so breaking round a corner is not always a good idea, but if your on a track and lets say your taking a long left hander which then tightens up into a hair pin, your gonna need to brake!

The reason that abs is no good on the track is becasue you tend to get it kicking in on one wheel when it goes light entering a corner for example and once it startss running it judt locks and unlocks that wheel, it cant adjust the pressure, so you dont slow down so fast, unlike the newer brake distrubution systems.

Another reason for it being crap on the track, is you start to spin, iw you know youve lost it and you got hit the anchors, if you cant lock the wheels your gonna end up going deep into the inside of the corner, possibly the wall, the abs will send you into it. No abs and you can lock all the wheels and spin out safely.

Anyone know or has removed the standard kyb cartridge from the Superstrut Setup, Ive heard it cant be done but it looks very similar to the pics here!

ABS on the road, good, abs on the track, not so good! ABS in the snow, real bad news!!!!

Also depends on the ABS manufacturer. Some are alot better than others.

I would say it would be down to the driver between the two. Still the figures show the neon does 60 in 5.6 and a st205 is 6.1s

Ive got an ST205, and its weakness at launches is the standard clutch. You get a decent clutch in there and it will do it a lot quicker. Too many revs will just cook the clutch, then it will be slipping in 2nd, you'll have a job to spin the wheels, its running a LSD as standard on the rear. Another point, the boost is limited in 1st and 2nd, remove that aswell, and its getting faster!! FWD draging?? vs 4wd? no contest

Ive noticed that a lot of the ss3 model celicas had side skirts and some with the bumper extesions. Where they fitted from new or is it an after market thing! If they where fitted originally can you order from toyota? Any ideas of price/fitting probs

I was under the impresion that all the SS's had super strut! The SS standing for Super Strut!
