UPDATE: My Celi's Swap and other things.., pics and info posted. Options

[celicast3sgte]

So before I get started let me update yall on what is going on with my celica.
-It was a 94' ST Coupe, auto
-2nd gen 3sgte swap
-GT Tranny 5spd, hybrid clutch (CF & Exedy)
-CT26 stock turbo, stock IC, Apexi turbo timer, Boost & A/F Gauges

I bought the car as you see it, with the 3s sitting just as it is. The previous owner had no idea what was going on therefor I have had to redo alot of what was done so it has taken much longer to complete due to parts hunting and redoing motor mounts.




Here is a test painting of my manifold and turbo to see how the color looked, the rust still needs to be sanded off before final painting. any comments on the color tho? (and yes im using high temp paint)



Here is the 5s tranny and what I thought to be a CF dual friction clutch... that I bought from eazy2001x as of right now im still awaiting axles and shift linkage. but the clutch is CF with a little exedy in its blood, the inner plate has exedy on the center where the tension springs are and on the other side it shows CF-DF pads and label... anyone have ideas? if u want pics of the clutch itself I can post those.



Here is my interior awaiting shifter, clutch pedals, gauge pod for boost & a/f, and the 3s wire harness so I can reinstall the ECU. not much to say about this pic, I still have alot of work for this car.



And for the last pic.. The engine bay, now no comments on how bad it looks or what looks wrong because I'm waiting for my engine stand to get freed up so I can get to maintenance work on the engine and cleaning everything up in the engine bay.

Ill keep you all posted as parts arrive and the motor comes out.

Why are you selling your 3s flywheel and clutch?

[celicast3sgte]

selling the clutch because it didnt fit the GT tranny im running and i got aftermarket anyways, the flywheel because i have 2 now, so if your interested i can get pics and we can talk about a price. my cell # is 425-308-7627

[Rjb23]

Nah I have one too, just was wondering why because you need one for the swap.

oh ok well anyone that needs one i think it needs to be resurfaced but im basically giving it away! anyone thats interested let me know.

Now for the fun part...



overall progress of the car, all i am waiting for is my engine stand so i can take the motor out and do maintainance then i can reassemble it with the new transmission. (alltrac trans is pictured)



its now officially a manual! i just installed the other brake pedal and all the clutch hardware as well as the shifter. im getting very anxious for the car to be completed. thats all for now ill keep updating as i get things completed.

Nice project you got there. Keep it up, the end result is priceless.

hey man i just realized you posted sorry didnt get back to it... yeah the gt was roasted... head on into a wall then hit in the back. it used to have JDM tails but 1 was destroyed the other had a hole dead center... as for the interior it wasnt bad but was auto so i used the ST shifter and pedals. oh and the rear conversion would be nice but it was missing the calipers which are one of the biggest pieces to the puzzle.

[celicast3sgte]

So DHL lost my passenger side axle... lame im supposed to get a call today if they found it. Hopefully they find it if not im asking for some money back. oh well

oops.. its the passenger side (longer one) that they lost. I got a call today and they asked for some details and all i had was its a long rod made out of metal with 2 rubber boots on it... lol anyone have like part #s for these?
