3SGTE Swap ?'s, Just a couple questions from a Celica owner from Orlando Options

[Steez]

Ok, so I've decided to get back into modding Toyota's since I miss my 6th gen so much, I have a couple questions about a 3SGTE swap into a 6th generation GT 5-speed.

I was wondering how hard the swap is exactly? I've found the GT I want, its a nice '94 thats silver, 5-speed, fully loaded. I plan on changing the bumper to the '96+ style to hide an FMIC that I plan on putting on the car.

Also was wondering on what type of transmission to use for this swap. I was told a Solara V6 transmission was a good one to use with the 3S because it could hold power, I esd told this, I don't think its true so I was wondering what was a good transmission to put in there with the 3SGTE, I want to be able to hold around 350FWHP in a daily driver so I don't want the transmission going out on me driving to school or work.

I have a few more question but I'll remember them later.

Also what is up with the JDM low/high beams and re-aiming them so I don't blind oncoming traffic and if anyone knows how hard it is to red out the taillights and then tint them.

But yeah I used to own a 6th gen and I enjoyed it, even though it was auto it was a fun car to drive.

Also does anyone know who owns the silver 6th gen with the JDM projectors in Orlando? I saw it on OBT and I thought the headlights were nice.

The swap isnt hard, just very involved. If its your first swap its going to take you sometime to finish it. Find someone in your area that has experience with this swap. I'm sure some people from this board would be willing to help.

If you buy a 5spd. GT the stock tranny will hold up fine. Just as long as its in good condition when you buy it.

If you are not dead set on LSD stick with the stocker.
