SR5 vs GTS

[[sPooN] aE86]

umm... just wanted to know how much hair would i have to lose converting an sr5 to a gts...

i know for one thing that the engines are differnt.. n if i went from auto to manuel... is it possible to find parts for the 3rd clutch pedal?

Start pulling out your hair Ken. :wink:

I don't know. I think it's a pain in the arse, but what do I know?

Why not purchase a GTS?

Thanks,
Kevin

hey ken, i'll sell you kelvins gt-s

[dudermang]

How much are you selling your friends GTS for, i think i might be interested

[[sPooN] aE86]

haha he doesn't want it????
but my rims are all friggin curbed!!!

[[sPooN] aE86]

i was thinking of paying like 700 for an SR5 then do engine swap n i'll spend like a grand on the suspensions n wheels

[[sPooN] aE86]

ohoh i heard sr5 has drums... is this true??

[varietta]

Yes, I believe SR5s have drums. I think much more money will be needed for a full conversion to a GTS. Whatever that means. Haha, just buy a GTS, Ken. :smile:

My mom used to have an SR5...when I was 3 hehehe...maybe this is why i'm addicted to cars now...

The SR5 comes with manual transmission as it means "Sport Racing 5-Speed"
But I know y'all knew that.

[[sPooN] aE86]

damn....
kev: hehe gts' are kinda over rated now and for the price of a gts.. i could buy a decent sr5 and convert it w/ a 4agze and still spend the same amount of $$ (IF there isn't much difference)

but if they come w/ drums.... can i just grab the whole rear axle from a gts? anyone?

plan on grabbing the transmission, driveshaft(?), rear end, rear swaybar, change the fuel lines and pump.

On top of that, you need the 4AG and all the associated vaccum lines, and electrical harness.

In any case, if you're gonna be doing stuff like putting in a different motor saay a GZE, it's well worth your time.

The cool thing is most SR5's are in better condition than the GTS's, probably because owners of SR5's don't abuse their cars like GTS owners do.

[driiift_hachiroku]

Oh if you care, the interior of the SR5 is different, the front bumper and the mirrors are not power.

[[sPooN] aE86]

damn... sounds like a long long project but i agree.. the sr5 bodies are in better condition

are there places where i can just grab the whole front ends of a gts?

thanks

you could swap the motor and go carbs or sds(standalone) and skip the wiring.

[goodcookiedrift]

ken you need the whole rear end too! so you basically need a sr5 subframe and gts everything
