Hi guys!
The Celica what i have is 94 ST 1.8 7A-FE (body is in really good condition) and i was thinking of buying GT (cheap one) from Germany (taxfree) so i could take the engine and other parts from it into my ST. The question is: Does anyone know where is listed all the differences between ST and GT? or if someone knows what are the parts what needed to be taken off from GT to making ST "same".. that would be a big help for starting the project  Thanks!

You're better off getting a whole GT. It's a pain in the ass to do all the conversions necessary with an ST model.
Starting off: GT has: 4 Wheel ABS and disk breaks Different suspension Front strut stabilizer bar 5S-FE, 3S-FE, 3S-GE and a different tranny 15" Alloy rims Sunroof Usually comes in a 5 speed Side hugging bucket seats Larger exhaust You even have to make a new mount location for the 5S, 3S to fit. You'd be better off finding a GT shell and putting in a 3S-GTE or BEAMS engine -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.

Other than that its not noticeable. |
