There is a place here in Houston called Sun's Auto that we bought a Caldina GT4 clip, a Levin SC clip and they also had a BEAMS celica clip, a couple MR2T clips and a bunch of ST-185's. Call information and get their number. They are good guys and gave us great deals - $1500 ea for the Caldina GT4 and the Levin SC clips.
I talked to Jose.
Good luck.

i would but i used all my free ones lol. so it would cost and my mom (how pathetic) would get really mad any chance u can get me a number or web adress? please

Here is what I found on the web:
Suns Auto. 14102 Chrisman, Houston, TX 77039 Phone: (281)449-7204 Monday - Saturday
I remember that street name so that's it. Give them a call and post up what you find [not just ST-185 if you have time].

Weird. They just PM'd me on a local site and they say they still have the BEAMS clip and several 2nd Gen 3S-GTE clips from Celicas in stock and "priced to go".
They say they have some with CT-26 and with ceramic CT-26. They say call and ask for David.

Don't forget to ask for an RC, CS, or Group-A halfcut if you want the water to air intercooler otherwise you'll need to budget for a front mount intercooler.

how much for the beams?

Buy it!

Oh yeah - you were looking for one huh? I'll call em. BRB.

i may take out a loan!

Holy Shiet!!!! I talked the guy [Omar] and he's a really nice guy. His prices are awesome too. He says they are trying to get into the Toyota thing [last time I was there it was mainly Nissan clips] and so he's offering great deals. Here's what he has and approx. prices:

(1) BEAMS clip - $2200 [Lew calls dibs in 5,4,3...]
(3) ST-185 ATA Clips - $1200-1600
(3) ST-185 WTA Engine Sets [engine, Tranny, ECU and wiring harness] - $800*
(?) 02 Altezza BEAMS [Dual VVT-i] - didn't ask pricing

He probably has more stuff but this is the stuff I asked about.
First I would ask that if anyone calls them - please be curteous, don't run the guy around and never buy anything and PLEASE let him know that Matt gave you the info. I'm gonna try to work something out for myself so I need him to know I sent him the business.
Also they can arrange shipping for you or ship it themselves if you are within 300miles.
I also told him about Tweak and his wiring harness and swap business so he knows we have a means to get swapped besides DIY.
Hopefully some of you guys get hooked up and swapped soon. Good luck

Ask for Omar [General Manager]

*BTW - Be aware that if you decide to get the WTA ST-185 engine sets you will still need the water pump and radiator thing for the WTA setup. You would get this with a clip but not with an engine set.
