I was coming home from taco bell tonight and this random guy pulled out wildly in front off me at the traffic light. The light turned green and I gunned it to see what it was. Turned out to be some kinda BMW, couldn't really tell. I followed him down the back road at 60mph for about a mile then hit another light. The light turned green and he accel. and then pulled over into the slow lane and i pulled up next to him. He yelled at me and told me "Lets GO!" and i'm thinking...."in my little ST???" So i said wtf and i went for it.....
Yea, i got smoked, he left me in the dust big time. But i mean come on...be realistic. So he slowed a little and waited for me to catch up to him. We are now going about 90mph on a double lane road and he yells at me and says "thats pretty nice!" and i yelled back and said "yep, gets me where i need to be. Then he flew off. After that moment i can't get this one thought out of my head....{ 3s-gte }....and I wonder if it would have been different |

You'll need a GT tranny or one from a 3S-GTE, and you'll need some other parts like GT motor mounts I believe because you have an ST. And while the engine is out, you'll probably want to replace some seals and gaskets and the timing belt and maybe water pump and some other stuff.
So basically, you'll need more than just the clip in order to do the swap. It's definitely do-able though, it's just more work. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
