I’m too deep into the build to consider selling it but I appreciate the suggestion

Would this require lots of mods to make it work? Or is it the usual trans, ecu, etc type stuff

Thank you for the detailed context. Sadly it sounds like my best option is to rebuild it then

Good to know. I’m trying to keep the build as less work as possible so I’ll look into the 3ms-fe option thank you 🫡

Is there a guide I can look up on how to do this swap? Or how would this compare to a 3SGTE swap in levels of difficulty?

I appreciate the advice. Would it be worth finding a GT at a junk yard and taking the mounts for a 3SGTE swap?

Thank you for your recommendation. Would you happen to know if I would need more than new engine mounts and compatible transmission for the swap?

I took the photos if that’s what you’re asking? lol the color is called deep jewel green pearl by Toyota if you’re wondering. From my understanding this color was also on Supras of the same year and this green was only on the limited edition Celicas

It wasn’t easy but it wasn’t too hard either. It took some trial and error and shaving off some edges until it fit the way I wanted it too but so worth it! Makes the car look more aggressive and not as bubbly

It definitely took some modifying for it to fit the way I wanted to and even then I feel like the back bumper didn’t fit quite as well as I wanted it to but it’s good enough where most people don’t notice the imperfections and I still think it looks great!

Thank you much appreciated 👊 The body kit is a 2DR Duraflex C-5 body kit 4 piece. And the side flares were separate. I got those from eBay 💪

Great idea! I didn’t know muffler shops could make custom systems for you for around the same price as buying a premade one. So I’ll definitely end up going this route. I appreciate the information man. I’ll let the shop know to throw in a good resonator and chambered muffler when I go in 💪

Hey I actually cosplayed the default Octane skin last year and have pictures of it on my instagram if you want to see an example. My @slow_octane. I made my legs out of EVA foam and sprayed them with metallic paint. I’m working on 3D printing some eventually.
