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

so no J-spec GT-FOUR huh? thats too bad as for your swap. you might want to look into abatardi's groupbuy on custom axles (in engine/performance forum). apparently gt axles snap like twigs under the 3rd gen 3sgte's torque... hehehe

hey ghost dog.

not to put you down like you do to me but...someone on celica.net has the 3s-gte and running about 450hp on the gt axles and tranny...dont know who it is but thats just what i read.
