just buy this. https://super-klasse.com/products/cs-trd-hy...ica-6th-7th-gen

i know the oem shifter cage that came on your vehicle probably has degraded with time. but this is better than nothing. or 3D scan your oem shifter cage and have it made from alloy and get members interested on the various fb groups.

1994-1997 Celica 1.8 7AFE, Rav4 3SFE and 94-99 Celica 5SFE/3SGE all can use the same front manual transaxle mount

For the USA market, the 5SFE has a large metal rectangular prism attached to front mount in order to absorb NVH. For this reason, it has a different oem part number.

bump. buy my stuff!!

ive been scanning a lot of 3D parts lately for the ST202/ST204 chassis. i dont haver one personally. but if you want to pay someone locally it can be done. Im dont have spare fog brackets. so cant help at this time.

oh you post on 6gc still? what are you stuck in the 2010's??

gold calipers is nice. its what i did. but in the end the cast iron formed calipers started flaking, even though i did all the necessary prep work.

im sure your cast alloy brembo calipers will hold up a lot better since the material isnt very porous.

you have so many celica!

bump... i finally scanned the brackets and mounts.

available wheels (pricing ascending least to most expensive)=

Forged:
Anovia Kano (Gunmetal Grey) 17x8 +35 offset weigh 16.3 lbs @ $850

Flow Formed:

-Circuit Performance CSF 17x8 +35 offset weigh 18.1 lbs @ $850

-Konig Hypergram 17x8 +35 offset weigh 16.8 lbs @ $1100

-Rota Titan F in 17x8 +35 offset weigh 17.4 lbs for about $1200-1300 (2-3 month wait time from Australia)

-Enkei RPF1 17x8 (also in 5x100) +35 offset weigh 16.1 lbs @ $1300 with center caps (only in Silver finish)

-Wedsport TC105X 17x8 +32 offset weigh 15.4 lbs @ $2350

note: All wheels have a hub bore size of 73.1mm

1997-2001 Toyota Camry 2.2 litre A/C compressor is the same as our 6th gen. Denso 471-1217 and make sure you keep your original compressor to swap in the manifold as all new and reman compressor do not come with the manifold.

measured them at the junkyards and they were the same overall length despite toyota listed different clutch part numbers.

Toyota does not sell the MAF gasket separately and only comes with the intake air box. This can be used on 2JZ, 1UZ, 1MZ and 3S-GE Beams redtop motors. simply email the person listed in the picture and it shouldn't be more than $5.

for comparison. These are all with transaxle's filled with fluid

Rav4/Celica E56/E250 weighs ### (3.7 qts fluid)

Celica/Corolla C60 weighs 91.7 lbs (2.4 qts fluid)

2001 Rav4/TC E350/E352 weighs 102 lbs (2.6 qts fluid)

2016 Scion/Corolla IM weighs 97.4 lbs (2.5 qts fluid)

2011 Scion TC EB60 weighs 107.2 lbs (2.4 qts fluid)

a super rare spec made by Rays (probably custom ordered) not even listed in the 2002 TRD Catalog. 16x8JJ with +38offset. However finding tires in a 225/45R16 is very difficult unless its an R compound. so there may be a 17x8 +33offset floating somewhere around the world.

castings for the redtop/greytop and dual vvt-i blacktop manual trans head are the same. To my understanding, you can't use blacktop cams in a redtop cylinder head because the exhaust cams lobes are wider in order to accommodate the larger blacktop buckets. Redtop buckets are 31mm while Blacktop Dual VVT-i (manual trans) are 33mm.

tuning parts that Toyota produced for the Altezza engine. https://www.trdparts.jp/parts/archive/parts...gine-3s-ge.html

ya but then converting to ehps from mr-s is expensive as well. no way around that. you can yaris electric assist steering but then need to change your rack....

someone is detailing the conversion of Altezza motor into a FWD setup. https://www.mr2oc.com/threads/3s-ge-beams-b...rite-up.693735/
another member on fb has attached a C64 transaxle onto 3S-GE Dual VVT-i engine and is putting it into an ST202. he'll keep my updated as soon as its installed but mentioned Late summer 2025 is more than likley when i'll get on a dyno

the Caldina Greytop (auto spec only) was produced until 2002

Benefits of Dual VVT-i motor over single vvt-i redtop:
Better flowing intake manifold, higher compression, exhaust vvt-i (greater flat torque curve), larger buckets/lifters, different valve springs and more aggressive camshaft profile.

As far as cooling is concerned, a member who owns an ST185 Celica with 400 hp; stated that his oem radiator cooled more efficiently than a dual core alloy unit. While OEM fans flow a ton of cfm, they are large, bulky and sit close to the oem exhaust manifold. Keep your OEM (Koyo brand plastic tank header and footer) and upgrade to SPAL IX-30101522 fans.

was thinking about making a the power steering bracket (2 pounds 5 oz) and 3SGTE/3SGE idler pulley bracket (3 pounds 14 oz) out of 6061 alloy. My guess is I could get the weight down by half but the price would just be too much unless 100 were made. was looking into an all alloy power steering pumps. however all the newer toyota ones are the style that are bolted directly to the block and use one large belt (such as that on the 1zz and 2azfe engines)

good luck. wanted to buy new door panels for the regular 6 speaker sound system but they are discontinued

-Larger wheel bearing are stiffer and help with more confident braking because it prevents pad knock back which in turn delays brake pedal feedback under high g turning. Integra Type R and Celica SS3 have about same bearing mass.

damn you separated that. bold. i ended up finding a good condition convertible rear view mirror thats already black from toyota.

mehh. when i was having my headlights converted to rhd with aftermarket projectors in them. the guy said he could get a mold of the oem fogs and make a clear lense from plastic or glass. then he would retrofit an projector fog inside the housing.
