   Haven't had the chance to take it for a decent blat yet, but initial impressions are good. Steering seems more direct and the car definately turns in better  Gary This post has been edited by GT4WRC: Oct 7, 2005 - 3:30 AM --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

Do either of you know whether this piece fits the ST202-204? I have considered this but have not been able to confirm that fitment is the same.

I'd sat that if the ST202/4 has Superstrut, then it is going to fit. I wouldn't be so sure if it is the macpherson type though.
Fitting isn't as straighforward as you would think. 3 out of 4 bolts are easypeasy - especially with air tools to hand  Bolt number 4, by the sump is an issue. Needed to undo the cambelt end engine mount so the motor could be 'lifted' up that end to allow clearance for the suspension bolt to be removed and the replacement one to be inserted  Otherwise it would have been a 5 minute job  It may be different for the ST202/4 - depends on the sump layout on teh motors as I think the Gen III 3S-GTE is different to the n/a ones.Gary -------------------- 1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

[right][snapback]342260[/snapback][/right] hmmm....I think you are right. I didn't notice that the mounting points are the exact same as the suspension arms. I guess I will wait for clipsetuner to try to install it. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

How do you guys go about installing these? Your engine / wheels aren't gonna fall ontop of you while installing these are they?
