Anyone? I'm still in need of these parts.

PM'ed!

Hello guys,

I'm looking for the following parts:

Drivers side seat frame from a facelift Celica (build after 95.08). With seat frame I mean this (this is a pre-facelift example):



The one I'm looking for has the handle from left to right like this:



I live in Holland, so I don't need the entire seat (due to high shipping cost), just the frame including plastic covers.

Beside the seat frame I'm also looking for the ABS computer brackets (also post facelift, so after 95.08)

If anyone can help me with these parts, please let me know.

How much for the driver side seat frame (so no cushions), radio bezel and center console shipped to Europe?

PM-ed.

Yep that's my site. I found the manuals on some Swiss GT-Four owner's club I thought. Here are the direct links:

RM396E 3S-GE Engine Repair Manual RM396E

RM398E 3S-GTE Engine Repair Manual Supplement RM398E

RM399E ST205 Chassis and Body Repair Manual Supplement RM399E

Good luck with it.

One of the brake pistons could be stuck. Happened to me last year. Replaced the piston (with new seals) and it worked perfect again.

Looks like the TRD wing to me:

Off Course it's legal. I've also got the ST205 space saver wheel as a spare tire, like the one in the Ebay auction. I'd say: go get it.

Send PM.

And here's my enginebay:





Swapped 3rd gen 3S-GTE with E56 gearbox and working A/C and ABS.

Those are exactly the same bolts as I mentioned earlier:

Bolts underneath frontbumper / undercover (4x) 90119-06355

So for the entire small undercover that's attached to the frontbumper and the crossmember, you'll need 9 bolts. Bolts are about 1 dollar a piece and the clips are about 2.50 dollar a piece.

Just bought these myself:

Clips underneath frontbumper (5x) 90179-06185
Bolts underneath frontbumper (5x) 90119-06355

Mounted the steering wheel:

My Celica GT-Turbo:

Bought the Red Stitched Steering wheel.

Let you know how it looks.

From the EPC picture I'd say you can't buy it separately, it's one assembly. Can't find it in the EPC either, it's just sold as one assembly.

Time for an update!

PART 2: Maintaining the 3S-GTE engine

After I pulled the 3S-GTE engine from the GT-Four, it was time for some maintenance. I replaced the following parts:

• Timingbelt with rollers
• V-belt
• V-belt powersteeringpump
• Clutch, including pressureplate and bearing
• Spark plugs
• Fuel filter
• Engine Oil and Oilfilter
• Coolant
• Intercooler Coolant (Toyota Longlife Red)
• Gearbox oil
• Brakefluid (DOT 3 or better)
• Clutch fluid (is the same as brakefluid)

Beside these replacement parts you also need two things that aren't on the RHD GT-Four nor my LHD ST202:

• Hood lock, LHD, ST205, part nr. 53510-20510, EUR 63,48 inc taxes
• Accelerator cable *, LHD, ST205, part nr. 78180-2D310, EUR 155,90 inc taxes

*Note: the length of the Accelerator cable is the same for the ST202 and ST205, only the protection is at other places


Some of the replacement parts

Timingbelt


I removed the crankshaftpulley bolt using this special tool, though it's easier to loosen the bolt when the engine is still in the car


Upper cover removed


Engine mount removed, you kan see the green tensioner clearly now


Mounted new timingbelt, timing is exactly the same as before


Placed the covers back on and installed a (new) crankshaft pulley, the old one was damaged during removal unfortunately

Clutch

Before you can access the clutch the gearbox has to come off. Since I can't use the E154 gearbox, it needed to come off anyway. Be aware that the gearbox is heavy (40 - 50 kg). Don't drop it on your toe's like I did. Fortunately I weared workboots.


Removed the gearbox


Removed the pressureplate and the frictionplate. The flywheel was still ok


Cleaned the new pressureplate with brakecleaner


Mounted the pressureplate with the frictionplate in it on the flywheel. Used my eyes to center it


After the E56 transmission was removed, I changed the release bearing

Sparkplugs and valvecover

During replacement of the sparkplugs I found out that the valvecovergasket was leaking, because there was oil in the sparkplugshafts.


Removed the valvecover


Oil in the sparkplug shafts


Cleaned the oil out and replaced the sparkplugs


Installed valvecover with new gaskets

After all the maintenance was completed I pulled the 3S-GE engine from my ST202. See part three for that.

No, you won't. It's on my website:

Celica GT.nl - Multimedia

The last pages of the ST205 Chassis Manual contain the Wiring Diagrams of the ST205.

Yes, Superstruts Suspension is a bolt-on job. It uses the exact same mounting point as the normal McPherson suspension. Only problem you have, is that you probably can't use the S54 gearbox, you need a E56 gearbox with E56 axles. The splines of the E-series gearboxes are different than the ones of the S-serie, but I don't know this for sure. If the splines are the same, you can use the S54 gearbox.

If you interested, here in Holland they have a E56 gearbox for sale (850 Euro) and I have some spare axles (350 Euro).

Oops. forgot about the 5S-FE, hehe, here in Holland we've only got the AT200, ST202 and ST205. Sorry 'bout that Good luck with the gasket change.

No problem man. Just helping out, hope it's this gasket that's leaking. Just FYI: it's a bitch to get to it on the 3S-GE/3S-GTE engine, but with the 7A-FE you probably have more space.

@Altraccman78: I know what talking about. My swap was the first I did, but I used the BGB on the side, and only used OEM parts or better. And some mechanics really suck, others are great.

Yes, it's this length:

Remove brake fluid of all calipers (release the bleed bolts and hamer the brakes panel till it feels flat). Loosen the 5 brake lines, remove the connectors and unbolt the bracket. Mounting is the reverse of removal. Bleed the brakes as good as you can, and/or drive to a garage and have them do it.
