Ryouxrs's st205 conversion, Project Frankenweenie Options

[schmooot]

one car garage is an understatement. You can barely fit the clip in there

[Ryouxrs]

yeah, it deff. wasnt fun, but i have to admit after standing, and being hunched over for so long it was nice to be able to lay down and work on a few things. lol

[Ryouxrs]

ok, so at this point im horribly stuck, cnt find parts at all, im looking for a timing belt kit, and an enge gasket kit with an oil pump, and a clutch kit, but im not sure what year my clip is, any easy way i could find that out? only numbers i have is a block stamp, a model # and a frame #. but im not sure how to read those, and or if they will tell me the year, only parts i can find on ebay is for second jen or 3s's with tvis. just dnt want to buy the wrong parts.... if anyone can help me out on this it would be greatly appreciated.

here is the numbers i have if anyone out there knows how to read them.

block stamp: 3s 9356707
frame #: st205-0012595
model#: e-st205-blmvz

ok, its been a while since an update, but im still looking for some parts before i get this on a role. ive picked up the clutch and flywheel kit from iburnslabs here on the forums as well as the missing manifold heat shied, the alternator cooling pipes, and a set of rims to fit around the gt4 brakes. what im really looking for is a gasket kit, timing belt and water pump kit, and an oil pump. those 3 things are whats keeping me from further progress at this time.... only place i can find them is at Fensport, but the dollar isnt worth jack in the uk, and shipping is retarded expensive, so im still hunting.

and a set of rims to fit around the gt4 brakes.

7th gen gts rims will fit....with 15mm spacers

[Ryouxrs]

i just picked up a set of enkie tarmac's from jmeyer on the forums here last week, should be getting them next monday from ups. just got to afford tires now. lol and i was thinking about matrix xrs 17's as an option as well, they look hella sick if you paint them. wish i never sold the set i used to have.

if you read 2 posts up, ive already found all those parts from fensport in the uk. im just trying to find them in the us. cause the conversion from euro to dollar is horrible, and so is shipping.

I'm doing the same thing you are with a 1994 Toyota Celica GT. I have found most of the engine parts can just be found at Advance Auto, or Autozone, or any other of those parts if you look up a 1994 Toyota MR2, and select the 2.0 liter turbo engine :-D

[Ryouxrs]

ok, ill check into that. thanks!

[Ryouxrs]

ok, so finally an update, got a set of rims and tires to fit the gt4 brakes, and hopfully hold the power down, i went with a set of 245/40r17's and am completely supprised that they even fit under the car! here are some pics. in about 2-3 weeks i should have the gasket kits to start tearing the motor down and getting it ready to go in.

[Ryouxrs]

ok everyone, long time since the last update, but alot has happend with the celica, heres just a teaser of one project completed...

just sent off my wiring harness today to tweak, soon to have more updates!

[BonzaiCelica]

what rims are those? specs??

[ricochet1490]

is that a car lift in the picture?

[Ryouxrs]

the rims are enkei tarmac's in a 17x8 not sure of the offset.

and yes, that is a car lift. lol, it was mostly the power window and door lock conversion i was trying to show.

[Ryouxrs]

ok, small update, fuel pump is here, meaning the harness isnt far behind, but i do have one question, will the 3rd gen mr2 clutch work with the awd tranny? any input would be apreciated

[3WayStunna]

Yes and yes. Just FYI i would recommend using a toyota TOB though.

[Ryouxrs]

ok, finaly an update. i recieved the harness back from dr. tweak today, and it looks great! money well spent. on a side note though, when putting the harness back on the trans, and laying it out i noticed that there seems to be a plug missing on the harness for one of the resistor packs, it should be a male 2 pin connector but i dont see it anywere. not needed?? ill post a pick up in a sec. propably gonna call tweak'd tomorow to figure it out.

[Ryouxrs]

[Ryouxrs]

answerd my own question, this is the fuel pump resistor, so why wasnt it left pinned into the engine harness is my next question...
