6G Celicas Forums

I wouldn't be touching the interior, no? I would want to keep everything LHD and just swap over the powertrain and drivetrain from the RHD GT4 donar. Importantly, does the regular North American spec LHD 6gc have provisions for the rear subframe of the GT4 to fit? How about clearance for the drive shaft?

I guess my previous post was a bit confusing. I want it to be LHD (using the North American car) but bolting all the ST205 goodies to it (awd, 3sgte, etc...)

Not so much a RHD to LHD conversion. But more like using a base North American LHD car, then bolting all the ST205 goodies to it. Will this work? Mainly concerned about the rear subframe though... possibly suspension mounting points.

Reviving this idea...

So, the flood of cheap st205 GT4's are here in Canada. Plus, you can find a decent LHD 6gc car for pretty cheap.

If doing the conversion, would everything from the st205 bolt directly to the North American LHD 6gc? I guess what I'm trying to say is if doing the swap, I would essentially use the RHD imported st205 as the donar car. Then, put all those parts onto the clean LHD North American car.

Will everything plug and play?

I'd much rather use the LHD car as the base car for the conversion since the VIN is easier to work with and it will be A LOT easier to insure.

So... RHD ST205 to be completely ripped apart to be used as the donar. Will everything plug and play into the North American 6gc?


THANKS!

Wow THANKS!

From your experience, did you have to do the resistor mod? I've never seen that before...

Hmmmm... according to ATSracing, they're using them with pretty high levels of success. I didn't hear about this issue. Is this happening all across the board with gen3 users?

i've got a gen3 mr2... i'm looking to see if any st205 guys have used the AEM FIC?

any st205 guys using the FIC?

nice car! i was close to doing a v6 3vzfe swap into my 91na (had a donor 92 es300 5spd on standby), but settled for a 96 gen3 3sgte instead. on a v6 standpoint, the 1mz is way better.

searching for info because i'm looking at a 94 celica gt-s tomorrow and out of all threads, this one came up!

this thread is too funny and needs a big time 6 year revival.


i was 14 and the girl was 15... no regrets. i feel like a damn slutbag for being so young though but it's all good.

**** ME! That's soooooo much work to convert! You'd think that Toyota would've made all the chassis'/frames/bodies the same for ease of manufacturing. I guess not.

Damn this really sucks. I'm in Canada and we can get JDM GT4's for fairly cheap (like the OP). I really was thinking just like the OP. Getting a junk Celica for converting a GT4. I HATE RHD! It's not the RHD so much, it's the RHD in a LHD country that I hate. Just too dangerous. You can't see ****. Man, this ruins my aspirations of wanting to get a GT4 and junk Celica for LHD conversion. Just too bad.
