ST220 + 3sgte

You can't!! Just watch ebay everyday!!

Got one last november complete unit with TRD gauge from UK just 90 pounds. He just put it on en after 15 min. I bought it



Everybody is looking for it!!

You all make it to difficult!! Just welding a nut on top of it is the easy way. Same thing if you last your key for the nut locks on your wheels. All garage do it like this.

No thnx, I'm right now working on the bodykit and cleaning the engine and putting in a special made clutch. Than only the steering rack for a LHD ST205 and of to the painter!

I'm almost finshed with my convert from RHD to LHD of my JDM ST205 WRC. So it's possible, but you need a lot of different parts, even things you don't think off!!

What's the pics of it on our dutch board:

ST205 from RHD to LHD

Sorry, I saw the topic and just took the wiring book of the ST205, saw mirror and scanned the page. I couldn't find any thing in the wiring supplement of the ST205. I'm going to search the big wiring book of all ST20#. Has to be in there, because there are no other original wiring books made by Toyota.

I have the working folding mirrors on my JDM ST205 WRC, so there mast be a diagram!

Here's the OEM wiringdiagram from the GT4 supplement

great work for making them yourself!!!

But maybe some idea from the Dutch:

This is a OEM rear strutbar of the GT4, with lether around it



And for the front you can use a strutbar of a

DODGE NEON

95-99 45MM CNC MACHINED FRONT UPPER STRUT TOWER BAR



You just have to drill 2 new holes and it cost around 70 dollar, but they're ver cheap where you live!!

Yesterday I measured the engine wiring, it’s to short so yes you’ll have to make it longer!!

true, but it isn't a problem for shifting and because I let the handbreak stay on the right side!

Yep they're made

I think the engine wire is just going to make it to the middle under the dash. On the RHD cars it's going in on the left and for the LHD on the right. I have some pics for you how the wire mast go in LHD and RHD.














Good idea about to put some motors to open the trunk and fuel door. Are you also going to use a remote and door poppers to open your doors and to make the door cleaned?

In my JDM ST205, I have te full automatic climate control, see pic



I used Everything of the dash of a LHD Celica, accept wiring. So I got the 3 parts of the climate system: Fan, air-condition unit and middle unit witch controls the air flow.

The fan of the LHD car I left original, is good as it is and no difference.

The air-condition unit I made open and replace everything of the wiring and radiator of the JDM unit. Because the JDM had some censors and wiring. But if you do not have the same control unit it is already good. Because this one works with electronic and the other one manual.

The middle unit I switched the to servo’s from the JDM to the LHD, you have to make one servo extension own custom made. It’s the one that moves the big valve to let outer air in (no problem for you I think )

So yes you need the complete system of an LHD car and it has to have air co other wise you missing one unit. And it’s not possible to make the RHD one work because it’s totally mirrored.

I gonna search for some drawns in my oem books and post them than for you!

no thanx, this way it's easer to start for me it was sometimes a big puzzle.

I know what you mean, it’s the inlet for the fan from the climate system. The boll shape is the same on each side. So I closed the right side with the peace from the LHD car and cut a hole with a example from the inlet of fan I made of the LHD car. It save you a lot of troubel than replacing the whole thing.



So you need the inside part that makes sure no water comes in. The one on the left side you'll take out, its welt on 2 place an some glue around. The big blue part I put in is some kind of anti vibration part.You'll need it. It's clued and fit perfect in your RHD car.

Than the other side





So the wiper engine goes from left to right. It's different so you need it from the LHD car, with the wiper arms and the arm inside. also the plastic hood for it.
From the LHD car you need the inside piece that makes the wall stronger to mount the wiper engine. You can also use this part as an example for cuting a the holes. The right side you close by welding.

With the arm in side you can drill the other holes for mounting en flip the to in the middel. On the right side there's also a piece inside that makes the mounting place stronger. so you'll need the from the LHD car.
Finaly you close the hole on the left and cut a hole on the right see photo.

the wire thing:



It's the wire behind the chairs or at the B-style. This connects the rear with the fusebox on the left side in the LHD car. So you have to make about +/- 20 wires a bit longer.

I used the all the RHD wires and inside parts of the fusebox. In the dash you take the RHD wire and let it make the way of the LHD wire.
looks like this at the end:



The big engine wire that comes strait of the engine goes later trough the firewall on the right side. I did it this way because it saves on the cutting of the wires.

I didn't remove my front window, but be careful while welding, put something in front of it. I did not remove it because I didn’t replace the hole window wiper bucket. It to must work and there’re coming sometimes more then 4 layer of metal together. Here are some pics of what I picked up.






also needed: wiper arms, engine and everything off it, control pedals,ect
even your chair, don't forget, you can use your old chair pilow (got draws)



here some of the remove







everything you see you'll need!! ecept the rear part for the hand break, I left it on the right side. Same as my mr2.

wiring , better cut it behind the chairs less work than inside the dash



I'm gone for few hours, but if you need more pic, Ill post it later for you. I also got every oem books for the celica so If you need diagrams or pic of that just name it!!

Hey doGGy, you can cut it to a smaller piece, here's a pic of it



you also need all the blue circled parts



That are the parts only for the firewall, but don't forget you'll need a lot more if you go from RHD to LHD!!!
I got my clip without engine for 500 euro from: Deijne

I even went back to get some parts witch I forgot.
Here is my Rebuild:

If you need more pic of thing you need or a list of what's different just email me!!

Just order them at your local Toyota dealer, they are the same price and they come straight from Japan.

On the Dutch board of our Celica Club (Toyota Celica Club Netherlands) we have a forum called My Project. Here we can show everybody everything about our projects.

The rules are simple, 1 topic for 1 project and putting some new wheels on your celica is no project!

So in there, are only topics about rebuilding a car, engine swap, putting on a body kit or a redesign of the interior. This is very handy because you can see what somebody is doing from the beginning to the end and learn a lot from how to do or where to get things.

The starter of his topic (project) updates with new pics and a story of what his has done and what he's going to do!

The reason why I put up this suggestion is, because I don't now where to put something like:My Project of rebuilding/Tuning my JDM ST205 from RHD to LHD if usa people ask me about it (Dutch is difficult to read ). Also it isn't only going about one thing like engine, exterior or suspension. It's got everything in it.

The other thing is: I think we can learn/share a lot between American people an the Dutch, because we have good connections in Europe and there are problems we solved and on this forum you have also!

Thanx @ presure2; I also put a request in GT4OC

@doGGy:

I've got de 1.8 steering rack/box, but it doesn't fit on the subframe. The space between the mounting eyes is bigger on the GT and GT4, it also got stronger arms.
see photo: (Top RHD GT4 super strut below the ST1.8)



And I don't want to weld on the subframe, because It's not allowed in the Neterlands and the ST1.8 steering rack/box can have less force.

About the climate control it's no problem. You need to get everything of the front(dash,heater, ect). Ill mounted every thing of the LHD Celica under the dash and used some of the JDM RHD parts for the insides, like the wiring and the sensors. You can use both JDM RHD servo's the move the valves, only on de big opening valve of the heater you need to attach a bar to make the move right. Than you have the real working JDM climate control

Good luck with your conver, if you have any questions just ask!!

I’m searching for a LHD Steering Rack/Box for my ST205. In Europe De GT and the GT4 have a super strut undercarriage and the ST 1.8ltr a normal. So if anybody got one!

I need this to complete my rebuild from RHD to LHD GT4.
For photo’s see:
