6G Celicas Forums

Screw it, I'm doing a manual conversion, I'll just plan on my celly being down for a bit longer...

Somewhat related...

I'm planning on a 3S swap in an auto GT, and have been told by virtually everyone to do a manual swap. As much as I like the idea, I think that I could get by with an auto just fine. Will the axels for a GT hold that kind of power? (I'm looking at having the tranny built, and modding no higher than 300hp)

He quoted me $3499 + $1300 (ouch) shipping for Buy It Now. If it were this time next year, I would have signed on any dotted line he wanted. I'm now finding out how hard/expensive it is to get the intact hood with the front clip

I would also be converting making an auto to manual conversion. You have me convinced on buying a clip, but anything I should worry about the manual conversion since the clips will be right-hand drive? Or am I gonna be looking for US parts for the conversion....

(wish I could have found a manual in the first place)

So I know that everyone recommends buying a front clip when considering a 3SGTE engine swap (into a GT). I've noticed quite a diffence in prices in buying the engine/trans/ecu packages (in shipping as well), and I was wondering if it would be worth my while to hunt down these fabled "little pieces" everyone groans about.

I know a list of all these pieces might be too much to ask, but I guess if anyone is feeling generous... (I have searched the forums several times, but I can never find a clear definition of "little pieces" Maybe I'm blind...)

Say no to vinyl.
