Here is a beams cluster and Curren TRD sports cluster. The Curren one
just has orange dials and gunmetal surround. Could easily replicate with
some graphite wheel paint. I am so anal about OEM look i bought these
for parts. I am using to build a St205 cluster that looks identical to beams.
I am having new mph faces made and 3 guage face made that look oem.

Oh and Rusty i would use TRD speedo but having to convert speed in
head all the time is not fun so only TRD part not getting.

I have beams cluster in my st204 running normally. I swapped out
entire assemblies and took off beams tach circuit board and swapped over
5sfe one just to try out . Took 1 minute to convert board and runs
correctly for 5sfe

Anyone wanting black cluster tach so have correct tach for 3s swap selling
for mega cheap.

Well i have 4500 in clip shipped but that includes over 1200 in parts added. I had room for
more fenders sets and skirts but could not afford to front another 500 for few more fenders
and skirts. One set of fenders is for another 6gc member suprised more guys didnt set up to
get fenders .

Funny i only paid 4100 for entire St205 but time dropped in driveway had around 6800 in it.

I would so run the beams cluster in the st205, the boost gauge is practically useless anyways...

Here is a sneak peak of something i wanted to do on ST205..i hated added on look of SS-3 splitters
on ST205 bumper ..Its hard to explain how i did this but it involves lot measuring and cutting.
Btw these are real splitters and it was lot of careful planning before cutting

Well the clip i was going to use was sold and is now in another members build thead. I am importing a another container and a white clip i need over next month.

I am also building right now a 3rd white 6th gen (yes i own 3 of same color) which was a beat down ST and was stripped to bare frame the painted and rewired
with all the GT wiring, TRD suspension and cleaned up 5sfe. Pics up when fully completed ( this car will be for sale by summer of 12')

I just got in a Eurou rear wing (thing huge Type R wing) which is like almost as much as TRD wings i have and will be going on ST for now.
St also received projectors,SS-III 6pc skirts,grille,sills, Silent Power exhaust (yes Rusty im toe to toe with you. lol) , jdm tails,hatch visor and rear strut bar.
Plan to install poly bushings once get thru winter. This car also is getting winterized with underbody and wheelwells sealed up right now.

ST was no never supposed to be a project car but recycling GT parts to that car just seemed to make sense.

I couldn't stand to install 5sfe back into this chassis so decide to go cheap and do a 3sge 3rd gen NA swap.
Didn't want to do wiring so after a lot of searching and help from Malpaso i found Stefan in Slovakia
who was parting a Euro spec 3sge Celica .. same as SSII in japan. This means it has LHD engine harness and by
luck he pulled all the wiring from car and engine which i bought, Even has rear fog light harness built into
wiring as well..

So next phase is to prep 3rd gen and restrip car and rewire . I have a HKS header and b-pipe going on motor
so should free up a few hp with full exhaust i have..

Should note this car possibly could be for sale later this year as i don't need 3 white modded Celicas!! More pics later

OK
well time to another mega overdue update..
Somewhere between Slovakia and New York the company
that handles shipping for post offices lost 2nd box with LHD
3sge engine harness.. I just got claim money from Europe
so not too upset.. who knows where box went..

So after that i decided to sell old shell and focus on
what was "Beams" shell. I have all the parts to do a RHD
swap correctly and 3sge so decided to not buy another clip
and use what parts i have. This car will basically be a Beams
looking car but with a 3rd gen 3sge and E56. I was mad at first
having E56 but now glad as it use all the same parts as ST205
for linkage, and mounts.. Decided to do RHD swap as all the
parts look brand new and 0 wiring to solder or extend.

Car will have Super strut with TRD coilovers and because i have
them laying around ST205 brakes.. Have twin pistons as well
but St205 brakes will be great for track days in a lighter car.

I will post pics up soon ..

RHD parts are test fitted and just need to start firewall removal,

Here is the conversion and JDM parts list on this car..
