getting front st205 clip finally help! Options

[coustoe]

well think im about to finally get my st205 front clip, got a mechanic that do the swap $500. Its been a while and I'll do a search later on the topic, but for now what else do i need besides the front clip?

I have a 1996 celica st, so I know I'll need a celica gt trany or camry with the engine swap sooner or later, I mean i can still use my current transmission temporarily until i find nother one, kinda like how im still using my stock struts with lowering springs until i have money to buy koni ones.

Also the final part im not sure bout is someone said I need new axles for an st? Does anyone have details?

heres a check list:

3SGTE swap for ST
1. Front Clip - check
2. camry/gt tranmission - check
3. new Axles - ??? no idea someone help

this is the list your gonna need. 1. front clip 2. gt trany 3. gt motor mounts 4. gt axels 5. clutch kit 6. WIRING HARNESS must be extended. 7. Shifter Linkage from a celica gt. 8. other lil things such as belts, vacume hoses, ect... if i think of more, ill let you know.

you need to get a combination of 5sfe and 3sgte clutch kits.

just to clarify, you can't use your current transmission temporarily, if you are referring to you ST tranny. it won't bolt up, i was a little confused as to which one you were referring to.

also, you should probably get the wiring diagrams from the UK, otherwise your mechaic will have his hands full.

good luck! i'd order all the stuff like a new timing belt, spark plugs and wires, and little parts right now, cuz you have to special order them from japan/UK and that will take a few weeks. the ST205 engine was never in the US and parts are not available here for it
