if you are a g.i. you can import the gt-4 if you're stationed in Europe and japan. the thing is that you have to sign some waver form that saids you will not sell it to any one.

couldnt you just get a gt-4.. then get an old pos celi, then reg that, then take the tag's and even the vin and put o the gt-4.... oh yeah i guess the whole thing about right side driving, do they make a gt-4 with left side driving? cause that would work, even if you got pulled.... they would really only find out if you got into an accident.... eaither im incredibly smart or incredibly stupid..

Already been discussed, problem are vin numbers, and its still not legal because the emissions out of the vehicle are not legal, therefor the car is not legal. Thats a way to trick the law to thinking you dont have one, not making the car legal

Sorry to bring up an old topic but I'm trying to search for answers to my questions.

"reinforcing a car is pretty simple to do"

Simple for you guys but impossible for my newbie mind. What is necessary to make a convert 6gc rigid enough for the 3sgte? After reading about rigidity problems and peoples turbos blowing up (is this true?) I'm seriously reconsidering and leaning toward a 3sge instead. I want to go to work and back with this thing but I want to pick up chicks on the way too.

At first all I wanted to do was exterior work, but girls are getting smart and figuring out what some of that **** under the hood really does. Damn feminists for leading the way. (joking)

Once again,
1) How can I make the convertible more rigid, how much will it cost?
2) Is the 3sgte worth it for my situation? I want it fast but I'm not into racing.

Though if I was challenged I'd be much more willing to accept if I had that 3sgte.

Ok I still fail to understand why you guys aren't allowed a GT4.. all the chassis are pretty much the same so if the ST and GT have passed tests then surely the GT4 woud pass the same tests. Surely it then comes down to emissions.. In most cases a japanese engine is very efficient on emissoins tests as the Japanses have the strictest emissions laws. As I've commented before why do the american emissions tests have to be so strict agains the Jap carswhen you have 4ltr engines and these jap engines are only usually 2ltr and a lot cleaner... ?

The emissions between a 3SGE and 3SGTE are not massively different..

I vote HEMI 5.7L of LOVE!!! nah ummm i would say import the real deal.

I am in the process of gathering information for a 3sgte swap in my convertible. I have been in contact with ASC (American Sunroof) which is the company that chopped the coupe and made it a convertible. Hopefully, I will have some information to post soon. I hope to find that the structural modifications that they did will go along way to addressing ridgity problems, but we'll see.... Either way, I am leaning toward some custom sub-frame connectors like in the URL below. I have a quote of $350 from a local race shop to custom fabricate something similar for the celica. Also, bulletproof sells some bracing which looks promising. See URL below. My thought is that the side tower braces, front strut tower brace and the subframe connectors will be more than sufficient. I will keep you all informed....
