st205 powered ss3 coupe
the color is staying this slate blue grey color. I love it. It's going to get a fresh respray of the same color because I do have to do some body work in some locations.... but I don't think there is really a better color out there really.
good choice i like the color too its unique espically for a ss-III

you sir did in fact have a trunk full.... i really couldn't, and still can't, believe you fit everything in there like that. I was impressed for sure!!
Trust me, when it fell into the hatch we were both shocked. We had to pull out the rear seats and bracket of course....I wish i could find a set of JDM fenders

well 4 and and half more hours of work on the car this weekend. Continued taking apart the dash equipment, had to remove some engine components to get to the engine bay bolts that held some of the blower equipment in. Left the heater core in because I didn't have a pan to drain the heater stuff out as I think the radiator and everything still have fluids in them. Either way the carnage....
Awesome JDM pedal clip to get that racing look
The engine bay with air intake stuff removed
Ultra High Flow JDM airfilter - Guaranteed to add at LEAST 15hp.
Flap
Insides - I think it looks clean enough. just about 50k miles worth anyway.
The final look of the dash for the night.... It gives me hope for the end.

School is lame. Just drop out of school and finish this beast!
Then go back to school with a wickedmadtyteJDMyo RHD SS-III replica because school isn't as lame as I made it out to be a moment ago.

^LOL - nice dan. I'm looking to do both at the same time. With any luck I'll finish my BSME this spring as long as I don't have any class conflicts. Once done, it'll be job searching and celica building 24/7.... and you know how job searching goes lol
Does anyone know off hand if the spring rates are different between st205 factory superstrut and st202 factory superstrut?

So are you keeping pretty close to your schedule? Also, your upcoming birthday has been noted.

So now this progression will become a reality as soon as finals are over.
Shout out to Richee3 for the CLEAN shell at a great price with all the right parts.
Shout out to FORGMANN for the CLEAN clip at a great price complete with extra parts.
Shout out to BOTH of those guys for a ton of support, parts, and kindness. You've made this a reality for me.
This will not be halfazzed. It will retain U.S. VIN# for ease in registration and liscensing. Firewall swap over for RHD. Every part from the clip will be used with the exception of the control arms and various other parts that I will need to retain USDM suspension. Even though there are some good prices on Superstrut on the forums now.... not knowing what that means for my usdm rear end in the car and what it means for replacement parts.... I will retain all usdm suspension and brakes. The exception is the JDM anti-ock brake system. Auto climate control will also be installed.
Items I will need if anyone has these at a good price lol.... i'm not in a hurry because they are cosmetic but before I drive it I'll have to have it... but just keep it in mind haha
1) set of jdm tails
2) ssiii riser blocks and accompanying spoiler
3) ssiii body parts. splitters etc.
4) set of 17" wheels
Keep me in mind guys!! lol
On a more serious note - here is the plan of action:
1) finish finals, week of Thanksgiving (Nov 2_th)
2) weekend after deer season begin tear down of shell, complete gutting, interior, carpet, dash, everything (complete by end of first weekend in december)
3) firewall of shell cut out either that weekend or shortly thereafter. Saving all cables for trunk pop/gas etc. - setting aside all usdm parts for later install into my DD, sale on 6gc, give back to Richee3 because of all of his previous kindness.
4) drop motor from clip out of the bottom ( I have a forklift etc.) and begin clip tear down (noting and saving all bolts and wiring locations) Drop motor by christmas.... have clip torn down and parts organized by Jan 15 2012
**Classes start back up and progress will drastically slow so I need to do as MUCH as I possibly can before Jan 3. **
5) reweld clip firewall into shell and begin running chassis wiring. Have wiring run and dash parts more or less installed by Feb7 (my birthday)
6) install interior with EXTRA sound deadening everywhere with legit RHD center console ( from FORGMANN, he's the man) Complete by Feb 22
7) Install engine bay parts and tie up odds and ends like wiper bulkhead. Matching spray paint color to car - paint firewall- Complete by March 12.
8)Install engine subframe into shell by installing from bottom. Hello forklift - Hook up all engine electronics/fluids/fuel etc - Complete and have running by March 26 (end of spring break)
9) Install exterior parts/pieces tails, jdm fenders, bumpers etc. - finish by april 15
10) bleed brakes - bolt on wheels - drive to buereau of motor vehicles and get registered and liscensed - May 5th
11) Run the piss out of the car for a weekend, park it and begin all remaining body work that MIGHT need to be done if I haven't gotten to it yet. - Send to paint and have painted the color she was.... sleight blue gray.
12 Project complete for my College graduation.. Present to myself.
HERE WE GO!!

I'm close. I've done things like run the chassis wiring harness, but still don't have the clip totally tore down. Heater core left (happening tonight). I'll then start dismantling the beams from the bay... brakes, fuel lines, etc and then it'll be a matter of dropping the subframe. So I'm looking, for tonight, to get the heater core out, the radiator out, the remaining front wiring of the clip out, and hopefully that wiring repulled through the shell while it's fresh in my head, and the pedals that are still on the clip.
I've been lazy the first few weekends of the quarter and wasn't as productive as I'd like to be. But when you're the only person turning a wrench, it's tiring sometimes
But I can now see the light
EDIT:
Dan - Thanks for noticing about my birthday.... How thoughtful of you. I mean I would expect us to be that close though because we've shared a celica.... are we bound somehow for eternity now?! haha - Like two guys who've hit the same "piece" lol jk

Well, got most of what I wanted to get done, done.
began by draining out the fluids..... who knew JDM engine coolant was BLOOD red??
Allowed me to finish gutting the firewall, pulled the wiring through to the fenders
Took out the rest of the airbox, took out the radiator, continued pulling wiring harnesses....
hmmm - 4 hours and that was all I got done. Oh well

gt-4 strut bar received. Found some Super Strut parts.
So does nobody have any information on whether or not the 202 and 205 spring rates are the same? Or whether it would even make any difference?

I haven't gotten any pics yet. I would like to find both suspension and brakes as a set up yes. But I might have a set of superstruts from a 205 lined up for about 50$ shipped. Given that, at that price it's worth me asking if there is a difference in spring rates. because that might be worth my while.
You have a mcphearson set up don't you?

well I sent him a message and then another pm, but he still hasn't replied.
ST205 part # : 48131-2T110
ST202 part # : 48131-2T050
of course, logically their is a difference in part #'s due to the extra 40 pounds from the transmissions, overall curb weight and AWD.
yes I have mcpherson. I only need the ss-III calipers and hub. I'm looking to get sale/trade my current 55,000 mile gt4 front brake calipers with rotors very soon.
