This year I'm doing the 3sgte swap for sure, I'm already saving money for it. The problem is:
-as far as I've read on 6gc forums, nobody has done the st205 tranny swap (for AWD/4wd); weight would be about the same as a gt4, so why bother swap instead of buying the gt4? -242 hp on the front wheels seem like too much power for FWD; nobody here has ever shown results of a fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swapped Celica, so I think that, despite the ~200 kg "earned" by eliminating AWD, performances are not better than the original ST205. So, is there any way of using the 3sgte gearbox on rear wheels transmission and cancel the front wheels transmission? (this probably is a stupid noob question, maybe someone else already asked that question before, but I just couldn't find any answers about it).

QUOTE Wheel hop can't really be solved in our cars at all. thats really not true at all. what it should say is somthing like "nobody on this site has put the time / money / research in to figure out what works best to stop wheelhop in our cars." there are LOTS of things that can be done, from tq bars, bushings, suspension setups, ect...just no one has taken the time or spent the money to figure out what it takes.

Well, we should get on that. We've had plenty of time to figure this out. I've got a blank canvas sitting in my yard with no real performance plans- a blank slate. Time to start doing some research. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
