3sgte front clip - 6G Celicas Forums
1. you have a ST. ST = 7afe. Engine mounts are different that a 5SFE (GT) or 3SFTE (alltrac, gt4, mr2). So, unless you wanna redo your engine mounts then it's not an easy fit in.
2. I've heard more bad than good about that company, from my 240sx club. Look at their pics ,they don't exactly look clean.

i think for the ST its just one new engine mount that you need. its the crappy one on the passengers side of the car.
slim75, are you doing your own swap or having someone do it for you?

my uncle is a mechanic at a toyota dealership so im gonna have him do it.
It will take a little longer this way but he will do it for a 3 or 4 hundred dollars so i cant beat it. If any body knows a good place to get a front clip i would be really thankful

For a Carlos Sainz ST185 clip tho... with the short ratio gearbox and everything..
The only difference between an ST and a GT when doing a 3sgte swap as far as getting the engine to fit is the one motor mount that lagos is talking about, the frame is already premarked so all you have to do is drill the holes.
If everything is there and the clip is in good condition, thats a good buy. That clip is from the ST185 RC and it has a water to air intercooler and forged pistons. The only down side is not having the MR2T tranny but you should be able to pick one up somewhere.
