Grey Top ...1900 shipped
Beams Clip, got my eye on this one - 6G Celicas Forums
is that a grey top or a black top?? whats the diff between the black and red and they grey? i hadnt even heard of a grey top.
this is just painted red top one... 100% sure
No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________
yeah the blacktop looks a little different and cant be mounted at an angle like that for oil reasons (so im told) so that has to be a red top but its been painted

Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System (Toyota)
excerpt from wikipedia
" The fourth generation 3S-GE, also known as the BEAMS 3S-GE began production in 1997. The first version was equipped with VVT-i and produced around 200 bhp (149 kW). It was available in a few models sold only in Japan - the MR2 G and G-Limited, the Celica ST202 SS-II and SS-III and the Caldina. BEAMS is an acronym which stands for Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System.
In 1998 a second version was released with dual VVT-i (variable timing on both the intake and exhaust cams), titanium valves and a slightly higher compression ratio. This engine powered the Altezza RS200 and produced around 206 bhp (154 kW).
The two variants are easily identifiable by colour. The cam covers on the earlier model are red and on the later model, black. They are often referred to as the "Red Top" and the "Black Top" respectively.
The "Grey Top" BEAMS 3S-GE was available engine option in the Rav4 in Japan. Even though the valve cover on this engine is black, it is referred to as "Grey Top" to differentiate it from the Dual-VVTi "Black Top" in the Altezza. Power output is 177 bhp (131 kW, 180 PS) @ 6600 RPM."

Grey top - is just the same thing as Red Top, only grey top came in RAV4. Martin - its not painted - it came in grey originaly.

I'm not telling there is no gray top beams... I just believe this is painted one because there is the same color at badges:
1. it's front end from Celica (that's why my guess is for red top)
2. according to EPC at RAV4 BEAMS should be same stickers as on SS-III are...
...and IMHO those in "gray picture" looks like just one color on it (same like cover has).

Thats a good price for a whole clip. I wonder what makes the grey top produce less power.
>
Maybe more torque for the rav4 beams ?? Either way the beams motor is very nice.
Considering these gas prices we have I think going NA is better...

hmm... 1900 is a pretty good price. but only 177 hp? maybe you should wait just a lil bit longer for the redtop. but if you really can't wait, then just do it.
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
Any updates???
1994 GT-S (BEAMS) swap complete
waiting for a red top to show up, a member knows of one but probably will buy it before i do
SILVER TOP from REV4 --> is like REDTOP with auto transmission .....
---> have less power because of ECU but you can put there ecu from REDTop or stand alone ECU and get 200hp ...... (only ecu and A/T is different )
so take SILVER-TOP change gear-box from 3S-GE 3gen(GT....) and ecu from RedTop or other aftermarket ecu supported vvti ........and you have REDTOP
if you dont want manual transsmision .. only change ecu from A/T RED-top
