Hey guys, so I'm gonna be doin an ST205 Swap this summer. I already have the motor and all the parts, now I have to choose from a celica GT or a celica ST. I will be getting an ST, but I also have access to a GT. Any ideas on which one would be easier? I know the ST I have to drill a hole for the GT motor mounts, but I dont believe that would be that hard. I also heard the wire for the fan is different for the ST but that shouldnt be too hard either. Is there anything else I should be considering? I also plan to do a GT Four brakes conversion, idk if the difficulty changes on the ST model because of the drum brakes. ST is a 94 so I wont have to worry about OBD II to get my emissions done where I live, the 97 GT however I do have to worry about it. Trying to weigh the pros and cons, any suggestions?

GET A GT.
The ST is a pain and extra money. Radiator is different, you need to buy a trans, you need to buy all 4 motor mounts, power steering hoses are different, etc... I've swapped both a GT and an ST. Starting out with a GT is well worth the minimal cost difference between the two cars. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
