First I wanted to say thank you to all the people on this board for sharing their knowledge. All the mods I have done to my car I have searched and found on this site. I want to thank all the contributors sharing the experiences good and bad.. Ok now on to the car. I bought my 95 ST Coupe Auto about 2 years ago from a coworker at a great price.. Motor was knocking but driveable. My initial plan was to rebuild the worn out 7A But then decided I might as well do a swap as rebuilding a motor was not my forte. I have done N/A to Turbo Mr2 swaps so I chose the 4th gen 3SGTE for its newer design. Don't really have any pictures after I completed the swap, I'll try and find some and post later. The power on the 4th gen is amazing, unbelievable the how powerful it is in stock form. Here are some crappy iphone pics of my progress..
First day I bought her  And a couple before pictures      As she sits now face lift bumper TC Wheels

Nice! I was wandering what you're going to do with that dcw single gauge pod. I very much wanted a 4th gen swap too!

A lil over due for an update.. Work has been killer and I finally had time to do the steering wheel swap.
  7th gen clock spring harness spliced/soldered in. Airbag did not deploy on start up whoooo lol    All in all not to bad of a swap. Wiring was the most nail biting part but glad it worked out ok Still waiting to do the single gauge pod.. Debating which boost gauge to buy |
