Woooo.......I'm in love........ Options

[Fastbird]

Just happened across this puppy and I'm in love with the looks. No spoiler, sleek, sporty, yet still so 6G. Anyone want to offload a project ST or GT 94-99 Coupe?? I would LOVE to do a conversion to a coupe with some added touches.

[trdproven]

thats nice only if it were a hatch. coupe looks good too.

[playr158]

mmmmmmmmm that ish looks gorgeous.

my favorite coupe right there....sooooo glad i have that front end

[x_itchy_b_x]

Dan how is your project coming along anyways?

[trdproven]

playr i wanna see pics of the front end complete, hatch right?

[ZGear]

Damn, gave me the chills just lookng at it. Mean looking and those are some baller ass looking rims. I WANT!

[Euphoria]

best looking coupe I've seen so far.

[whatthe]

That looks hawt, at first it looked like a s15 then i was like waitttt.... Man why toyota go down the 4 eye look and not this

its good thanks, I started to develop the suspension setup so that should be pretty nice when done.

front end complete pics are around, check my build thread or my profile

Think I figured out why I like it so much. I've always liked late 240SX's and that looks very reminiscent of one, but with Toyota stamped on it.

I like the car, but I hate those wheels. It would look much better with some gold or black rims.

Omg.....................................

^^thats drool

[delusionz]

I see GT4 brakes on the front. I'm wondering what's under the bonnet of this Curren to make it need them.

4 eye bumper might not work for ur model, but it sure works for mine

[PolliS_5S-FE]

Here's his cardomain page for more pics and info on the car he also shows whats under the hood.

He posted this in the text on page 2 of the cardomain:

I made numerous enquiries about a rear wheel drive conversion using a modified Celica GT-4 drivetrain and fitting a slightly tuned 3S-GTE engine (300bhp'ish)

EXACTLY what I was thinking, except I was thinking of finding what trans would fit the 3S in a standard configuration (front to back) and creating a purely RWD car. Then I came to reality and realized I don't have the time for such a project, but it would be sweet for sure.

[soulshadow]

reminds me of my friends 240SX with the JDM conversion.

doesnt the toyota altezza RS200 use a 3s

[Culpable04]

IS200 and yes it uses a 3sge black top, so the tranny would bolt to a 3sgte.

yea they do. the 3sge dual vvti beams.... but if i remember correctly, its mounted differntly with a rwd transmission so idk how much it would be worth it to do all that fabrication to a celica

but i do luv that blacktop beams

IS200 and yes it uses a 3sge black top, so the tranny would bolt to a 3sgte.

I thought the IS200 was a straight-6, two litre 1G-FE, Lexus badged Altezza (akin to the AS200)?

Beams 3S-GE is JDM. Eg, 1998 SS-III Celica, Final revision MR2 Limited, 1998 RS200 Altezza.

N-S setup in a ST20X would change the entire car, there needs to be a big inverted hump underneath starting from the firewall for the drive shaft and all other sorts of driveline components, even the underneath of my ST205 GT-Four is completely different to my old ST202 SS-III. It doesn't at all look like the driveline can just be swapped over without cutting the shell or chassis apart. The OEM space saver tyre in the boot of the GT-Four is elevated about 7 inches compared to the flush sitting space saver of the SS-III.
