Ok, so after the last year and a half of being a member here and finally getting the 94 st celica on the road. im nearing the funding needed to do the 3s swap. of all the options of swaps for these cars, i landed on the 3s for some pretty simple reasons. its relativly straight forward, and has large gain for minimal input time. ( this is my daily driver. ) and as such when all the parts do come together i have a small window for doing this swap and driving it to the exhaust shop. ( 8am-2pm on a given saturday) so im very crunched on the time area so it all has to fit right, and be right the first time.\
this being said im at the stage of getting the clip. a few things im still looking at are: gasket set ( pretty sure i can get one for an mr2 and it will be identicle? and if so, what year of mr2 do i get it for? i am using the 3rd gen 3sgte engine ) 255 fuel pump ( easily picked up ) drive belts ( once agian an easy find ) so here is were i sit at this point, im not looking to do anything more than stock for now till i can learn the car again after this swap, but rest assured there will be much axle breaking after i once again feel like tim allen in the quest for more power! lmao. If any members out there have input, or add ons to my needs list. please feel free to post up, i can use all the help i can get on this one. thanks This post has been edited by Ryouxrs: Jul 17, 2014 - 9:37 PM -------------------- Lift Addict!! ^_^

so after a long ass weekend and lots of progress on the clip, and some interior goodies this is how it stands now, i took close to 300 pics so if you want to see more, just visit my photobucket page. enjoy!
 converted the interior to leather seats front and back as well as black carpet  pretty much how it looked half way through sat night. decided to work on the interior teardown first  yeah just a pick of the left over parts, after sat night i had to make 2 runs to the storage unit with a full size suv. lol   this was fun, my lil brother with a hatchet, and a mallet, with me and the shop vac taking the glass out  score for one harness out of the way!   oh the piiles of fun stuff! this is the start to sunday morning   i know im laying down on the job, but somebody has to!!  body harness is out!  the gf got a lil excited, or bored. i couldnt tell  lil brother with a big metal pole.... this is when i run. lol  all the engine wiring, and almost all the attached parts have been removed, and/or labled.  the pile continues to grow, im running out of places to put stuff, if you havnt noticed yet. im doing this in a 1 car garage... fml.  ok, so finally me and my not so lil brother lift the chassis of the engine/trans/suspension components (yes it was heavy)  and ofcoarse there is always that one bracket or hose that stops everything in its tracks! (like the shirts say about knowing jack schnit... lol  time for a smoke break!  and finally its out!  removing the subframe, and suspension from the engine and trans.  and finally its all apart! well atleast for this weekend http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc140/b...on/IMG_5468.jpg and heres a pick thats not so kid friendly of how we say f* this i need a beer! more to come this weekend, more tear downs, and hopefully some shiney new parts. the photobucket album is beerstud2222 -------------------- Lift Addict!! ^_^
