Uh, the GT4 is 3000 lbs, the regular 6th gen is around 2400. And you're saying they're identical? The chassis is entirely different. You are seriously losing the little credibility you had.


The chassis are actually very simalar the wieght difference is in part in the fact that the 3sgte wieghts more than the 5sfe. the rear assembly also adds to the wieght difference there is also alot more renforcement in the GT4.

You have no proof and as far as im concerend you didnt do it. Talk **** all you want about my car...The fact is i have proof of the **** i claim to have done to my car. Also, im sure your car is faster than mine, but im also savin up for college and by the time im in my mid 20's ill sure as hell be driving a lot faster car that any celica you can pump out. Also i didnt say it wasnt possible, i said if someone did do it they would post pics to prove it is. Read into it if you can, find out what it really means, its been said before, you can do anything w/ enough money so sure its possible, but practical; from what ive read no.


son... just keep postin replys like this.. will make it all the better when I decide that my celica is completed enuf to show you. This just keeps building up the suspense and brings out the people who have faith and those who don't.

and as for you building a car in your mid 20's that will be faster than ne celica I can pump out... thats fine when you think you got it build come find me.. just make sure you do more to it than stuff you got from autozone >biggrin.gif>

If you do actually have it done and post pics someday, ill be happy for you, and you will have >owned.gif> me. That ill admit, but im just sayin I dont think you have it done, and if you never prove it, well then youll never prove me wrong and youll be the one that lost credibility.

Im pretty sure your telling the truth but I dont know how well the awd will hold with such a custom job like this.
umm can we get pics of you building the engine at 8? and a pic of you in eagle scout uniform??? i mean we cant tell that for sure unless you have pics right? guys let it go, give him time, if hes got it hes got it mad props to him but if he doesnt then ALL HELL will break loose in the game of shame... im done

Well, Here are my thoughts. The cars (our USDM and the JDM GT-4) were all made in the same factory. Much like her in Alabama. All the big Mercedes SUV's are made here and send all over the world. Now, they are all made on the same paltform. Some just have different options. We are switching in the 3S as an option. I see no reason not to think that you could do the same to an AWD system. Granted (as Neverstop said) Alignment would be tough, but it's doable.

I have had no probs but have only driven it with the AWD for a few months before I tore it all apart agian.. this has been a big concern of mine.. so far it has held though.

thank you... I have been trying to tell people this for a while now

yea, i know >tongue.gif> its pretty damm sweet. 53k on the odo too >wink.gif> it scares me sometimes, people driving towards me will stare at it until they cant stare at it no more - i see them in my rear-view mirror. i seriously do not want my car to cause an accident. hehehe...
NEVERSTOP I give you huge props by waiting till its completely finished to show the pictures. Like an artist not wanting to show his masterpeice till its perfect, you are keeping us waiting and it will be that much more exciting to see 100% finished. Keep up the good work and fuq the haters! >bowdown.gif>
I absolutely agree with you, Milds3vn. Im working on getting stuff done with my car, and im not putting any pictures up until its completely done, just like NEVERSTOP. I give him lots of credit for having the restraint to not post pics despite all the pressure from everyone that doubts him. So i give you props my son, and as for me, just like NEVERSTOP, you can all wait till around May(hopefully) to see my car when its all done. >wink.gif>

3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting.
also the reason that a gt-4 is heavier than a usdm gt celica. is because of what someone said about the engine itself. the 5s-fe is aluminum. the 3s is cast iron at about 400 pounds. add in the rear drive axles, driveshaft, etc. even the little things count as weight. turbo, turbo exhaust manifold, wastegate, BOV, TMIC, etc. even the needle for the boost guage on the dash.
It's called sustaining to keep that interest level above somewhere up there...? ^^
