Hello and a techy question, GT4 Convertible ? Options

[carlosfandango]

Hi, some of you guys may know me from Celicatech / GT4OC / Celica Club UK / TOC etc etc.

I test drove a ST205 a couple of weeks ago and have a unusual question, perhaps its been discussed here before?

its been on my mind for a while, a St205 and ST202 Convertible modification.

using the st205 as the project car and getting hold of a crash damaged cabby to molest and take bits off.

I cant find any info regarding chassis strengthening on the st202 cabby. I know that my convertible was sent from Japan to germany in coupe form and converted by a german coachbuilder, they did all the gen 4 convertibles for the european market and differ from usa version, our hood is manual and has a targe top.

i'm assuming the st202 vert left japan as a convertible and need to know what was done to the chassis.

any ideas?

a st202 convertible will be a donor car.

yeah the chassis can be rigged up here in the uk, i'm trying to understand how the gt4 will handle with the diplacement of weight, roof removed and extra strengthening, it would be planted to the ground from what i can gather.

anyone good with the weight displacement of the st205?

I also wish to open a custom shop too and was hoping this project could be used to launch the company in the 2006 season, a 350bhp Toyota Celica GT4 Convertible would get a lot of attention, for wrong and right reasons - publicity is publicity and i'm allready active within the celica modding community in the UK and word spreads. I have corporate membership at CCUK as i'm researching as well as being a member
