I just found a wrecked '98 6 gen. celi with 3S-GE in the cars junkyeard. And the guy that owns the junk, he is asking only 700$ for the full front clip!!! The engine has only 26k miles on it. So guys, am asking for help, cuz im going to buy that fron clip, but i need to know is where a lot of diference between the GT and ST (euro models). And if where be a lot of problems to swap a 3s-ge into myne ST!!! Do i need to swap a front suspension and etc.???

Your ST is an AT200, right? If so, then it'll be similar to swapping a 3S-GTE into a AT200, which people have done before. You'll need to change motor mounts and tranny mounts if you're going from an A-series engine(7A-FE) to a S-series engine(3S-GE). You won't have to change your suspension though.

Yep, myne ST is AT200, and if i only need to change the engine mounts, im going for it... And if i dont have to change my suspension then the price will be only 500$ for the engine/trany/ECU/wiring and etc. WOOOHAAAAAAAAA!!!! I will have something near 200 Hp!!!!! Man am happy

Since the 98 car is also front wheel drive you should be able to use evrything from the clip such as the motor mounts and tranny. So you should be able to do the swap for around 1K (thats including price for misc. parts). Good find! Good luck!

yeah, you just to have to replace the mounts and rewire the electrical harness.
The suspensions are the same so go on guy!!!!!!!!!!
