THERE IT IS LOL, POST ALONG WITH THE OTHER GODs

[StreetRacing10PS...]

i began to pull the axles today but ran in to some problems. i got the wheels off and then the controll arm off but i can get the ball joint out because i dont have a ball joint seperator but i can get one tomorrow from a friend. any easyer was to get this done so i can get the axels and trans out tonight instead of waiting untill tomorrow??

[StreetRacing10PS...]

ok so i allmost have every thing out iam just wondering a few things. what else besides the engine, trans and axles need to come out?? fuel filter, map sensor, power steering ect.....any thing???

[StreetRacing10PS...]

ok, so iam ordering my st 185 front clip tomorrow and i have two choices.


This one looks stock and pretty clean for $1,400.00 not a bad deal.


or this one. notice the HKS filter and after market strut bar. it also came with a full coilover suspension. this on is for $1,500.00 only thing about this is that iam pretty sure it was beat on and was abused by the previous owner because of the after market parts. also the intercooler looks pretty beat up, even though iam not using the Top mount it still looks pretty beat on.

What do you think????

[StreetRacing10PS...]

now every thing is pretty much out, i took the trans and exles out today and all i have to wait for is my trans axles and front clip which i am ordering tomorrow.

[StreetRacing10PS...]

i ordered my front clip today from texas. it cost me $2,000.00 exactly including shipping from TX to NJ. not bad.



it is being shipped out on wed. and should be here in a week or so.

yea i lucked out on the price. on the website it said $1,700.00 but he gave it to me for $1,500.00 plus shipping from TX $425.00 and then $75.00 because it is a residential address.

superior trading international right? when i get mine i can pick it up:) so no shipping:D

[JFrost9]

wait are these regular importers in texas? man that would be pretty sweet....i could drive up there and pick that bad boy up... now to just find a texas place who can do swaps.

[Dr_Tweak]

Nice work. You're on ur way bro.

[dustin15brown]

I noticed you left your headlights on.... That could be bad if you drop something. Maybe take them off for safe keeping? lol Goodluck on the rest of the project

they were pretty good to me. i called them up on friday and told them i was interested so i gave them my e-mail address and the next day they sent me 4 pictures of the clip and the numbers from the compretion check and some other things and then i ordered it on monday no problem. iam also thinking about getting my transmission from their but they said they wont get any 3sge trans for another 3-5 weeks and i cant wait that long.

I think this project just got a hole lot easyer. this kid i sorta no that lives a few blocks down from me also has a 6th gen a used to go on this site a while ago untill he blew his motor in his GT. i saw him drivin a twin turbo 300ZX today so i figured he gave up on doing anything to his celi so i stoped by and gave him a visit. i was going to just buy the mounts, trans, shifter cable and a few interior pieces off his car untill he offered me $1,000 for the hole car. at first i was like ok, i can take what i need and sell the rest....when it hit me, i would be much better off just puting the 3sgte into that car being its allready a GT, has the mounts and is all ready 5 speed. what do you think??

[celica47]

DAmn dude thats a good idea, but that is another grand, thats gonna put you around $3,000, i dont know you still got to get a tranny and tweak on the 3sgte. So i would say its your call bro.

is the GT in better condition (body, interior, suspension, etc.) than your ST? if so i say go for it.

yes the GT is in a litttle better condition, it allso has leather seats

it was going to cost me around a grand for new trans, motor mounts, axels ect. so now i can just use that car and sell my old ST to my neighbor because he has been dieing to get a 6th gen ever since i got mine.

[celicast3sgte]
