traffic is a bitch... i hate being stuck in traffic.
anywhoo Daniel is right. Beams only works on facebook because all the info is provided on there through vaguely constructed questions such as: "hey guys, how do you swap a beams?" or "does a 3sge beams fit in my gt?" or the ever pondering "what iz beams?"

you're not missing much man. remember back in the days when we would all yell at noobs to use the search button. yeah,... it's like that but they just don't use the search button after we tell them anymore. lol

quarter inch extended slave cylinder rod, and of course new tranny gaskets.... the rod and the normal shifter, makes shifting the 2gr much better... it was a poor choice of clutch.

First, you give so little, now you give so much!!?!
The a/c is coming along now. soon you can have the top up and leather seats freezing cold!
Engine bay is looking cleaner, those red wires though...
and what's going on with the top of your bar, looks like you rolled it once already? lol

Do you have an ACT clutch in the car?
That was the only time we needed an extended slave cylinder rod. I HATED that clutch.
~bloodMoney
There was a guy on ToyotaNation looking to swap a 2GR into a Gen4 Camry. I sent him your way. He decided not to do the swap. What's up with that???
I had ACT clutch, the stock level one, in my 5SFE Camry mated to a Fidanza FW - I don't know why, but I would always smell clutch after some city driving, and the thing wore down in like 15k miles. Odd. I don't think I'm that bad at driving shtik.
which i dont get, because engine prices are lower now, and the swap can be had for almost same price if not less than a 3sgte. Sure people like turbos, but the 270hp on a fwd sucks. but i guess this is one of those things that will never catch in the car community.
beams is catching up several years later

I think it won't catch on because it's not a 100% drop in.
Kids aren't going to like the idea of having to notch the framerail or cut up some of their hood structure just to get it to physically fit.
Not to mention the fact that you're not mass producing the passenger engine mount. Everyone wants it all done for them... You ought to know that by now.
~bloodMoney
well kids do it all the time on the civics, with their v6 swaps. but you are right. This swap is not meant for kids...

Well, for the cost of a decent Celica GT and the 2GR and everything involved in swapping you can get a 350Z now... Only reason Honda kids are doing it is in comparison it's marginally cheaper and easier, that and the Civic to Celica aftermarket support in general. Just think on the positive, keeps your car unique.
2001 Miata LS 5-speed
Welp, the appeal of the 6gc, to me at least, has always been the rally heritage and the dreams of 4WD conversion. Neither is the case with 2GR or even 1MZ, so kinda rules those 2 out for me personally.
As for others, more may follow once the path has been beaten in a bit more, as it's always more difficult for the first few guys. 3S swaps are far more documented and easier still. If you step back though, there aren't a whole lot of swap happening in general these days. Still waiting for the platform to re-surge in popularity, I guess.
Should be able to import ST202 and ST205 here soon, any late '93 produced '94 models. I imagine once the ST205 starts getting imported that'll help re-spark interest in the car.

i like the car being unique in a certain way. In other news, i may have messed up the wiring, or time for a new MAF, i have not had change to look into

heres an update. I tried recharging my A/C, it was going well, until i realized oil goes first. Well the compressor seized..
I had to order a kit to flush lines, and new compressor and condenser. LOL, it sucks.
