i dont think he wants to buy your strut brace and resonator LMAO...j.k.

 

hehehehe ;)

 

hopefully you dont "reiko" on us (1up veterans inside joke). good luck serg. remember, if all else fails, swap an automatic tranny in there.

 

i thought the 3sge was also in the caldina?

 

sergio, i'd like to recommend starting your day with folgers in your cup.

 

close jigga. 3sgTe lol. 260 caballitos de fuerza. one of the 2nd gen caldina trims had a regular 3sge (non-BEAMS), but the caldina that shares platform with the tc is the 3rd gen caldina (02-07)

 

i think i'll buy one of these 2 starlets and be a perfect sleeper! lol

so what would it take to convert the tc into awd without doing what rsr did like transverse mounting the engine like it should

 

a good welder. lol. you mean using the same 2az? i think at that point, it would be easier to swap the 3s, awd tranny, and awd system. you'd probably have to cut the floor to create a tunnel for the shaft, create custom mounts for the engine, tranny, etc. wire everything up. if you want to use the 2az, i dont know if youd be able to hook the e350 tranny you guys have to the awd system. if not, you might be able to create an adapter to make the caldina tranny work with the 2az, but i doubt thats possible.

 

i was thinking if the platform is the same, i believe the driveshaft would go where our exhaust is running now... wouldnt we be able to use the mounts from the caldera for the swap? id probably go with the 3s... it seems to have more power. i believe its boosted from factory also?

 

it is. the 3s has tons of potential and makes crazy power with simple bolt-ons. a lot of supra guys get rid of the 2jz and build 3s' in the supra cuz they dont weigh as much and make power easier. i think they have a ct26. same platform but it's a different series motor so the mounts would have to be fabricated. AZ versus S series. blah.

im not too sure about the driveshaft space. you might have to relocate the gas tank even. see pic below of the fastest tc in 1up:

 

ah i see... hmm... i wonder how their gas tank is set up? engine/tranny/fuel tank swap.. lol

 

that looks like a ricer tc

 

its probably one of those racing fuel cells you hook up in the trunk. i wouldnt doubt it.

 

funny you say that, cuz it is.

 

have a good weekend ya'll....
i couldnt hold it in anymore about these other 2 pics!



F_CK IT... TOMOROW IM GONNA START DEH INSTALL!!!.....after im done with the 2/3 things in the AM im gonna do... im going to make an attempt at doing this... takes about 6-7 hours to do... gonna have some friends swing by with the pressure clamps and blow torches i need to hopefully finish by 7pm...

 

sweet man.. goodluck

 

badass.. do you have LSD installed as well?

 

damn bro, thats sexy. how much did you get it for, if you dont mind me asking? i think they run around $450-$500 but i think that one is discontinued so i can't imagine how much they go for.

 

is that a final drive gear i see??? where did you get it and how much??? also what ratio? im looking for something along the lines of 3.9:1 to 3.5:1.
