Sexxxxyyyyyyy
 It really drives awesome, torque steer wasnt so bad as ive heard people say. the spec stage 2 clutch feels amazing, very easy for daily driving. almost kept up with my friends 05 G35, but he had alot more traction heh. new exhaust is going in tuesday, 2.5in stainless with 2 magnaflow straighthru mufflers. minimal problems though, hood hits the top of the intercooler! guess ill need that Gt4 front end sooner than i thought. idle is a little rough, but well see if removing the ghetto exhaust setup i got right now will change it. no cruise control for now! could wire it up no problem, thing is no room for the cruise motor, oh well. overall wiring the car from a st204 to st205 involved wiring 8-9 wires (mostly fuel pump and intercooler stuff), extending 7 wires (a/c amp plug) and running one wire from under hood to inside the car for the SRS. was very easy. if anyone has questions let me know |

cheeco, so as far as the wiring, its just the fuelpump relay and COR that you have to add in to make it run, right? that makes it really easy !

looks good man....good to hear the wiring is minimal..i think that will encourage more people to go with the 205 setup...which is a good thing..most 185 clips are going on 14-15yrs old, regardless of milage.

Thats actually a pretty good price. You should always start out a swap expecting to pay way more then that for a clip. -------------------- Teh Celica sleeps for Winter '06.
