3sgte swap - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #90941 7 posts Started by ClevelandGaint
Well im back again now have 3 celicas, 400hp 00 gts, 95 celica gt 255hp and now picking up a 96 celica gt for $200 because of a bad fuel pump, major win for me biggrin.gif .

Now ive been wanting to do 3sgte swap for a couple year now and i think im ready, i got a buddy who did a beams swap and im kinda not impressed with it. My list of questions will start. Im looking for a complete front clip st205, doesnt matter if it is RHD or LHD, i been looking for a couple months now and its still the same ones for sale. Does anyone have place where they once bought a front clip or know someone who has? Money isnt the issue, i just want to make sure i get all the correct parts before the swap. ill bascially be into the celica for what ever i pay for the clip.
I read countless threads about the swap, seems pretty straight forward. What are some problems people had with swap? All information will help, minus pointless criticism
Would love to see the 255hp 6gc !!

He lives in north olmsted and PA, work related for the half and half time spent at each place. He just recently sold his other beams conversion for around 9k, it was beyond spotless and looked better than coming off a fresh production line

Whelp... if you do decide to go with a half cut, let me know as I am in the market for some spare suspension parts - might help defer some cost. That includes beat up bumper covers and hoods.
