WTF? Ahh they only came in manual and 5k is hell steep. Either your looking at a worked Gen 3 motor which came out of the ST205's or the people are just ripping you off like no tommorow.

Expect to pay 2k - 2.5k for a Gen 2 3S-GTE but I suggest you take someone, who is very mechanically minded, to inspect the engine/halfcut with you as these engines are very tempermental and I hope that you dont buy a lemon.

Goodluck

Whoa... no need for any name calling, no argument starting here... these cars are great in a manual version... when you start driving manual you'll love it!

^^ WHOA ,POWER TRIP MUCH??!?

Anyhoo i told my missus that the only cars we'll be getting will be manual transmission. I schitt you not but the main reason for this is because just in case of an emergency and the only car available is manual she would be able to drive it.

Think like in scary movies and you see the chicks when they escape the bad guy and they drive a column shifter....

Now imagine if you were in that situation and the only automobile was manual? What could you do then?

I would encourage you to take the time and learn manual but goodluck with it.

BKS didn't know that. So ease up on the cordial darling...

Now on a serious note... If you are scared with a manual then I think the 3S-GTE will be far too much power for you to handle then.

Better idea maybe in your case to save cash and purchase an Aristo, Chaser, or Supra... :)

Only way to get more confident is to drive it....I managed to teach my g/f how to drive manual (at a bearable level) in only a couple of weeks. After that, it comes down more to the individual car than the driver, some people who only drive one manual car their entire life can hope into another one and be completely hopeless, nothing beats practice and varied experience. The clutch + gearbox feel in my 102 is completely different to my AE82 (even though it's the same gearbox), and both are again completely different to my parent's SXV20 Camry and Mazda2.

Mate - go buy yourself a stupid Ford Laser for $100 with 1 week rego, manual ofcourse. I guarantee if you put a fulltank in that and drive it for a whole day, you'll learn the stick.

Im sure you already know where the gears are, im sure you know how to let go of a clutch, and im pretty sure you DONT know the right time to downshift, so practise with 1 full tank and you'll be cheering! You will be amazed at the things you can accomplish when you really set your mind to it.

who cares if his drivin an auto seriously i mean the fastest cars in the world are tecniqually autos so wats the difference if he wats a more powerful corolla auto maybe he also wants to make a bit of a drag car out of it best drag cars are auto and i know a corolla will never be a 6sec rocket but if he has an auto he could do cosistant numbers and with the wright engine trans and suspension package any where from 12-high 9's is achiveable in a front driver

ps go for a 4AGE 20v and turbo it it flows like a 2.0L and the conversion will be much easier then a 3sgte im talking 2 engine mounts front of motor and end of trans only no cuting or bashing required

Pretty much. It's her choice if she wants to.

I agree to the advice from Silly-Karr though. That's the exact same advice my old man gave to my sister. I was always going to learn manual, so I just had to hear him try and convince her to get an manual licence. Seriously, it is a good skill to have and barely takes any extra to get it. At least you will have a manual licence for when it's needed and you can go and drive an auto all you want.

I learnt to drive manual in a 1985 beat up Suzuki Swift. My Dad's words were "if you can drive this POS, you can drive a newer car easily". Since I got my P's, I've owned an auto Camry and now Aurion. It's just handy to have the skill there if needed.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
