I could have helped you 6 months ago... but you can probably find a straight chassis from a wrecker

can confirm as of yesterday they have a semi recent white st184 hatchback shell, and a 6th gen st205 (with a grease painted smiley on the boot)

both dont have motors and theres pieces missing but seeing you have a whole car it should be too much of a hassle.

Sweet as does the st184 parts fit in a st185 or st205 because I was thinking of maybe getting a AWD chassis and use my 5sfe to make a 2.2 l turbo

Baby steps buddy, baby steps. The task you want to undertake there is a massive one, both on your wallet and in time.

I'm gunna leave the parts swapping stuff to someone else, but from my experiences only some ST184 and ST185 parts exchange and I dont think you will have any luck with the ST205.

dont even bother with an ST20x chassis or a ST185 chassis.

If you want a ST185, go and buy one, they can be had for under $5000 now and it would end up costing you more than that (not to mention the time) to build one.

You can turbo a 5S, but you need to know what you are doing...

Lol guys I'm a mechanic I know exactly what I'm doing I know you can swap the 3sgte block with a 5sfe block and essentialy make a 2.2l 3sgte it moght not be as straight forward as that but i can do the all the wotk myself I just wanted to know if like the exterior panels are the same and if any if the interior was the same on the st184 and st185 and I like have no money so all I can afford is a chassis with nothing in it that I can transfer my stuff into

Yes, the interiors and panels are MOSTLY the same between a 185 and a 184.

However the following things WONT fit (that I know of)

LHS Front Seat

RHS Front Seat

Interior Carpet

The ST185 has a different floorpan to the 184, and if you were trying to find a stripped one you would need to make sure it still had its drive train.

Also, making a 5SGTE is not as easy as just slapping together a 5SFE and a 3SGTE. both trentmeyer23 and myself have done extensive research, and built 5SGTEs.

Agreed, granted mechanical experience will help, but you will need to do a hell of a lot of research along the way. It is MUCH more complicated if you do things the right way.

So practically anything that will go on the floor will be different because of the drive shaft tunnel so the center console is probably different to

rear sears are the same, the center console is the same, the door sils are the same, the seatbelt clips are the same, all the rear plastics are the same

The only difference is front seats and carpets.

exterior panels are the same... but if yours is a coupe (not a hatch) the panels are only the same from the doors forward.

the ST185 also has a different hood and front bar... if you just want to swap your engine/interior over, i highly recommend just getting a ST184.

That's pretty much everything that got broken

I don't mind getting a st184 chassis cuz I loved my st184 before it got smashed it's almost still drivable except the rear LH wheel is hard up against the inside of the wheel arch causing smoke to go everywhere if you try driving it

But I would like the st185 for the AWD but I suppose I could go with out it

      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 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!!! :)
