Celica All-Trac ST185
GEN III 3S-GTE, ST205 spec


^^ circa 2002

The Toyota Celica. The car that holds more special moments and meanings to me than any other machine out there.. This is a thread about my first All-Trac Celica. The car that started it all for me.. from the tuning craze, to rally, to blowing stuff up..

It is currently being fitted with a GEN 3 motor out of an ST205 GT-Four. I will be utilizing most of the ST205 drivetrain from the potent motor with water-to-air intercooler and gen 3 turbo.. to the transmission to rear differential and front and rear brake setup.

Parts List:

GEN III 3S-GTE ('94 spec)
ST205 Water-to-Air Intercooler
** ARC intercooler with integrated bov **

ST205 gearbox w/ cooler
Exedy Hyper SIngle clutch/fw

INFINI Avance ECU

Volk CV-Pro (euro), 17x8, +35)

Momo Veloce 325mm steering wheel
** Fiber Images - Carbon Fiber RC hood **

DMS 40mm coilovers
Whiteline Front & Rear Strut Tower Bar
Whiteline Rear Adj. Sway Bar

ok, finally getting some plans together to get this moving again. I've reached out to my GT-FOUR club members for their expertise in getting this sorted.

mr. Wolf. I would like to thank you for your help in advance!


Most of the forum members are my "current project" friends. It is with great pleasure that I have you here to help sort out my junk!

To everyone else reading- Wolf is a long time friend and GTFOUR club member. If it weren't for the generosity of GTFOUR club members like Wolf, Ivan (Saffo), Dennis , etc.. I wouldn't be where I am today.

Too kind mate!
Just gave you little advices based on my little experience... and it's always a pleasure when I have time to...
Anyway, as I am 99% of the times on my mobile, if you need anything better to contact me via FB...

You are very modest. And that is another reason why I look to you for help.

Feel free to share your 3S-GTE builds and pictures or just link to facebook. There aren't many that specialize in 3SGTE like you imo.

That's because my friends have 3SGTEs!
Yes, I put all I have on FB, so anything is there... except my car's engine...
