Project ST205

Topic #75515 165 posts Started by FORGMANN
St202 clip shipped this week(finally) from Hong Kong
I also have my other real TRD spoiler on way so both cars will have authentic SS-III and TRD parts.
Clutch plate broke on donor chassis transmission so tear down will start next week. I am also rebuilding a ST
while wait for clip to arrive.

Sourcing st205 brakes for st202 as well so i can order brake pads in bulk from Europe for both cars

Here is clip pics from RPM garage ..GREAT SERVICE and gave me a lot of parts for free
Besides clip i had SS-3 doors shipped(no rust) so RHD swap will be a totally bolt in besides firewall.
Recaro back seat in there as well so both cars will now have 100% complete factory Recaro
interiors.

They've put a bit of work into that frame and a good use of recycling too with the hoods. Nice connections you have there btw to get all that stuff. The SS-III & TRD scheme should look great.

also pm you regarding the guage cluster

haha didn't pay much attention to the shipping quality. Ya hoods for reinforcement and that clip was very much cushioned and would of probably floated if it fell off the boat.

Your Momo steering wheel looks like the ones used on ITR DC2.

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.

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