Topic: can i swap front wheels with rears?
Replies: 11

I'd probably go to a wreckers or 2nd hand wheel place and get an old steel rim for a few bucks, might be even cheaper if you offer to give it back to them in a week.

Also, I'm not sure I would get my wheel repaired at a shop that would let me drive around for a week on a space saver, surely they ...

Heya, I don't know too much myself, but since no-one else has said anything... i'd say that compression would be your biggest issue, as thats the main difference between the 3SGE/3SGTE (excluding the turbo).

rears, i have upgraded the 4 1/2 inch speakers to fusion 2 ways and they do sound pretty damn good

I've done the same, they really give a good sound stage, and wern't difficult at all to replace, just removed a few panels and used the t-top securing strap behind the seat to pin back the carpet ...

I had the same creak in mine, replaced the 2 bushes on the front sway bar and she was fine after that.
Perhaps go TRD hard springs? They only lower the car by 30mm, which will leave you at 100-105mm, which is a good ride height.
Genuine bushes should be fine. You tend to find that ones like ...

Go to repco, get new set of front pads to match your car. I think they also have a guide to replacing brake pads, it's pretty easy, and would be something you oughta learn eventually.

Good luck.

I was looking the other day at marley spouting for my sw20, I think the best looking style would be the 'stormdrain' range or what ever it's called. It's more rounded and has a nice shape to it, the other style looks like it's from roman times or something.

I was thinking that the spouting might ...

And no-one on this forum who has actual practical experience or technical expertise on this subject has endorsed building a desmodromic head for a 3S as a worthwhile project. Note my definition of worthwhile is providing improved HP and reliablity in excess of that which could be acheived with the ...

Could you please explain why a completely and utterly pointless "intention" should be encouraged? Or perhaps you have spent more time gathering technical knowledge about the 3S, or more hands on experience modifying them than I and others on this forum have and know something we don't? If so please ...

Sorry, I found the other thread about what you're intending to do, sounds great to me. Its a pity you got so much flak, and so little encouragement.

Granted there are plenty of people out there who intend to do powerful mods to their engines on a students budget. But everyone can dream, all they ...

What exactly are you doing with the head? Which engine do you have/are modifing (3SGE or 3SGTE?)

I have a 3SGE and am looking at some sort of N/A upgrade, I have some pictures of my engine with the intake manifold off if they would help?

Keep us updated, pics rule :)
