Okay so earlier i asked what would be better for me regarding my two celicas and i decided to switch my st into a gt. I have a gt and st, but i want the hatch (st) instead of my coupe (gt). I looked around on here for how-to's but i didnt find any. This is my first swap and its a temporary thing until i sell my coupe then i will buy a 3s and replace the 5 from the hatch. Can someone guide me on doing this swap? thanks!

Oh so in the end, We'll have a 3s swap with Rear drum breaks?
 Sorry. Honnestly OP, i also think you're making a tremendous amount of work for yourself. But it's ur car not mines. So first thing u need to do is research the bajeebous outt the differences of the two vehicles. You're going to need to swap the trannys as well as several other componets from ECU and Wirng harness, to most of the exhaust system. And it'd be my recommendation to swap out teh rear drum to the disk breaks while you're at it. Read up on the 7a to 3s swaps; because the fitture of the 5s and 3s are the exact same. there's some custom drilling and mounting you'll have to do. after that, 5s to 3s will be more strighfoward. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!
