SveNRG GT-Two, Project from the Netherlands: 3S-GTE swap Options

[Dub]

"... a very rare transmission from a '98 JDM SS-II or SS-III Celica. Very strong, low mileage. It's really just like an MR2 tranny. " - It's a 3S-GE transmission, but special edition.

I'm curious, cause I have a SS-II edition and am wondering if my transmission will fit the 3SGTE.
Regarding the clutch, so it seems i need to purchase a stock 3SGTE clutch (engine does not come with clutch installed). I was also curious, as the diameters of 3SGTE clutch are different to the ones of 3SGE.

I'm pretty sure that if your inner axles are as thick as 3S-GTE, you will need the 3S-GTE clutch too.
Here they are compared. Left side is thickness of 3S-GTE axle, right side is normal 3S-GE axle.

hehe.

do you enjoy the coffeeshops?

[SveNRG]

Actually getting a bit tired from all the "Oh, you're from Amsterdam!" reactions on international forums. Seen some of my project topics go AWOL after some folks lose it and completely go off-topic, raving on about marihauna and hash for (p)ages, and with it, killing my thread.

Nevertheless, the Netherlands is a nice country, and our drugs policy is one of the best in the world imho. But give me a break, okay?

[Bigwaaagh]

Lol, I know those speedbumps.

Coffeeshops are so stereotipical, the're not only in Amsterdam, the're in almost every city in the Netherlands.

I for one do not enjoy the coffeeshops, I don't even smoke, but that certain "aroma" does waft around the office every once in a while .

But anyways, back to the topic at hand, really like how the car is progressing, I'd love to see the finished car.

Sven: nice video, it seems when you pushed full throttle the tyres did not smoke at all, right? How's the handling with that torque upgrade?

And yes... pls post any update.. am curious how you progress, if the tranny holds

[SveNRG]

Got my car back on monday. It's a dream! I still have to get used to all the violence that it puts on the wheels. It's crazy fast! Already smoked a 2003 Subaru STI the same day, on an empty road. He got off to a better start thanks to his 4WD, but then I just smoked him. The limiter cut me off at 200km/h though.

Driving without rear spoiler atm, new one coming a.s.a.p. Found out that the late-spec 3-post spoiler doesn't fit on my rear end, where the ST spoiler was attached. The holes are too far apart. I'm guessing that I would've needed the late-spec trunk with 3rd brake light for it. Als still waiting for the bumper bar where the fogs are to be attached to. It's coming this week I hope.

You want pictures? You get pictures!



And here's the lot:

Damn that's one HOT CAR!

[SveNRG]

Thanks people! Martinking is getting me the GT spoiler when I am at JAE this july. I'm not fitting it with riser blocks. Not my taste.

I'm looking for some wheel adjustments now. Short term: The front wheels are too much outward with spacers (25mm) but to fit the ST205 calipers in there, only half is really needed. Will need some longer lug nuts to fit 15mm spacers someone told me. The rear wheels don't have spacers but I want to bring them outward so they flush with the chassis.

Long term: Looking for 18" wheels. I want to flush the wheels without having to use spacers at all. Also need 8J on all four to make for 225 or 235 tires. Front is 7J now, that's maxed out at 215 tires. Choosing wheels is hard.

Other plans:
Blitz replacement air filter
Motul 300v 10w40 oil
Fitting those damn fog lights once the crash bar arrives
Getting some recaro's or refurbish the seats
3-point Strutbar for the engine bay
Maybe stiffer springs, thinking TRD for a slight drop also
Doorhandles and mirrors getting sprayed

[shin]

is it just me or does he have huge brakes in the front? Hot Celi man!

edit: nvm. just read his post before mine.

That isn't badly written, and very understandable!

Thanks Bigwaaagh,

Going to lower the car. But not too much!
These TRD's give a 20-25mm drop on a ST205. Stock feel.



TRD Low Height Spring Set 48130-ST021
Set of 2. Front. K=43.1N/mm. Using the ST202 TRD springs for rear.
Also ordered Ichiba spacers plus longer bolts 5x100 15mm for all wheels.
I've currently got 25mm spacers on the front. Way too much.

In other news: found my dreamwheels.
Gram Lights 57 maximum-pro. 18"/7.5J custom offset. I'm gonna save up for these!
