Street TRD Pads rated up to 500C Temperature
Circuit TRD Pads rated up to 650C Temperature.


its seems its quite difficult to find temperature ratings for most brand name brake pads. not sure why.

i used to order thru Two's R us website and before that from battlegarage. But then battle garage didnt want to deal with it, they mainly support 3sge beams blacktop community. There are already many mr2 sites that do 3rd and 4th gen 3sgte parts. Now I order my stuff thru jessestreeter for 94-99 celica engine n chassis stuff.

1st Generation Scion TC power steering reservoir fits all 6gc. only thig is how to go about making the backside of reservoir click into place. you can see the plastic tab does not protrude all the way out so it cant clip into that slot.

update. turns out the sw20 axle carrier bracket will work. found a rav4 at the yard and pulled the bracket off, looked at part # and it was from an sw20 turbo mr2. these are available new from primemr2. toyota lists diff part # because it comes with a stud from factory that has 2 stabilizer bars attached to it. despite the pass axle E153 having a different bearing part number vs rav4/celica, i confirmed that it fits my E56 axle.

these guys never replied to me. someone on fb said they didnt have good business transaction with them. So not sure how reliable they are. I asked them if they could give me the rotor specs so i can buy in USA. but they never got back. If you want to call their direct line from your cell, im sure it'll be like $6-7 for 5 min call.

so here are some options for larger rotors that will fit GT4 calipers for mcpherson vehicles. Im going to message this company to see if these parts can be sourced here in USA

replaced this with an Honda AC delco brand. It caused a idle surging condition and oil control valve code. I do not advise to replace it with anything but OEM unit.

bolt on 2 piece rotor. only if you've converted to superstrut... this looks like a semi floating hat design, which is fine for most track enthusiast. unless your doing wheel to wheel racing

also these from GT4 Play UK

correction, it is actually called a sprinter trueno ae111. I just looked up epc data parts diagrams to cross reference parts. C52 and C160 have different rear transaxle brackets but use the same transaxle rubber mounts. So make sure your swap has the all the transaxle brackets.

I always wondered what was the proper set up for this as it seems like a cool enough swap, but engine lacks torque. You'd probably be the 1st person to do the 4age blacktop with 6 speed to my knowledge. 4AGE has a broader power band than the 2zzge motor.

7afe, 4age, 4afe, 5EFe all use the same block but have different bore and stroke ratios. So yes the engine will obviously fit into your stock Celica ST.

you do not need a standalone ecu to make it work on your chassis. its a toyota engine going into a toyota chassis. But that sure would be cool to extract an extra 10 hp. You'd need a custom bpipe (the pipe that connects the exhaust manifold to catalytic converter).

All toyota C series and S series transaxles share differentials. So If you already have a manual C52 in your chassis, just use those axles.

seen here: is width difference between a 5 speed C52 and 6 speed C160. Its very close in size.

this link below shows how a off shelf 7afe/4afe header wont bolt onto our chassis

higher temps even with an alloy 1mz??. I saw the video by driving 4 answers regarding alloy vs iron blocks. each have the pros and cons. I see

i get excited for builds like these because there are only a handfu on the web. THE ST205 builds arent as exciting to see as 10 years ago

my fav 1mz swapped 6th gen celica. get it dun!!!

on second thought i see you using the cusco front strut bar. It looks like its the st205 version (taller clearance version). that fits on with stock oem hood? i say this because you say your going with the beatrush 3 point in the future....

wow amazing they actually made an aftermarket intake manifold for 1mz. they dont even have that ish for the 3sge beams redtop.

biggrin.gif biggrin.gif Group buy for Narrow E Series gearbox conversion parts. The S54-06D transaxle that came on beams engines is nearly difficult to rebuild, as internal parts are hard to come by. However there is a solution for those who wish to keep their celicas for a few more decades. Upgrade to the Rav4 E352F/Scion TC E350 internal gears with 96-2000 Rav4 E250 transaxle casing. A combo of 2 different transaxles is needed for better gearing (not optimal)

The shifter cables you need are 94-97 7afe or the 94-99 3sgte, The gearbox mounts and transaxle brackets are the same between E56 equipped ST202 celica and ST205 Celica with some minor differences.
Finding all these parts were difficult and took me nearly a year and half to accumulate. The axles are the hardest to find. 3D scanning will be needed to replicate the exact design (similar to what MR2 Heaven has been doing)

finally the search is over. found both of them!! i will probably 3D scan these and make a file. the SW20 community is centuries ahead of us in replicating parts. its time this gen celica does the same.

mods please close

not sure if you sold. but if anyone wants them, i know on the non power folding units you can swap the inside guts from one mirror to another (so you dont have to paint match to your vehicle) not sure if its the same principle here with the power folding style....
