JDM ST202 - Anyone know something about them?, Eng / Trans / Brakes and Suspension Options

[Andy]

Hi, my name's Andy and I'm a new member. I dont actually own a 6th Gen but was wondering if you guys could answer a question I have? I drive a 4th Gen Celica running a ST202 3S-GE and lots of other 6th gen bits... it wishes it was a 6th gen!

My question is about the JDM ST202's - I'm looking at upgrading my g.box but need some info on them. The 3S-GE half cuts I've seen come in two varieties. One has the regular 5sp g.box, normal suspension and normal single piston brakes. The other type of cut has a bigger g.box (with a black cap on the end), superstrut suspension and twin piston brakes with bigger rotors. Does anyone know what the difference is between the g.boxes? I can get one with driveshafts pretty cheap but I dont know if it'll be worth the bother.

Any help would be appreciated!

Andy

Well I own a JDM SSII and I know a bit to be able to answer your question.

The SSII had two versions one with superstrut and one with normal suspension (like mine). The SSIII were all superstruts.

All superstrut cars have different gearbox which include an LSD. Do not excpect too much from the LSD as it is there to try and eliminate torque steer and is 10kg heavier.

Other than that the BEAMs engine has nothing to do with the different gearboxes.
