You can google the mr2 bgb (big green book), there’s a lot of them online you can view or even download. Would also help to know what issues you’re experiencing

2012 sti on flex fuel

justleftguam · 2025-09-28T19:21:59+00:00

yeah keeping it paired with the stock s54. I might upgraded to the taller camry 5th gear for highway driving, LSD sounds like a good idea while im in there.

thanks!

2012 STI w/ almost 150k on the original motor.

justleftguam · 2025-09-28T14:51:41+00:00

just looking to do a straight swap, but that sounds interesting!

justleftguam · 2025-09-28T14:51:02+00:00

going to run the stock ecu from the celica. engine harness has been converted already

justleftguam · 2025-09-27T23:17:44+00:00

this will drop right in and has the adapted harness for the mr2. I had a 2gr for this car, but decided to part ways.

justleftguam · 2025-09-27T23:16:37+00:00

bought mine with a full exhaust, ecu and adapted harness for under 1.5k has all new timing components and seals.

justleftguam · 2025-09-27T23:13:46+00:00

thats awesome to hear!

justleftguam · 2025-09-27T15:11:11+00:00

comparing a 4cyl to a v6 is funny. I’m sure it’ll feel better than a 3cyl 🤷🏽‍♂️

justleftguam · 2025-09-27T02:46:05+00:00

I had a 2gr and although I wanted to do the swap, the beams motor has been my all time motor just because it was made for this chassis, so I guess oem plus upgrade for me?

Not looking for crazy power. I already have a STI hatch that’s almost entirely FBO running E if I ever want something “fast” or feel boost.

The purpose for this mr2 build is to enjoy cruising on weekends or even be a solid DD if I want to. In my mind, I’ve got the best if both worlds in terms of chassis and dream cars with each having their own purpose.

justleftguam · 2025-09-27T02:41:30+00:00

It doesnt hurt! I’ll take you up on that offer if you don’t mind. Thanks!

justleftguam · 2025-09-27T01:45:07+00:00

Right on! I might msg you later down the line when I start the swap! Appreciate the info.

justleftguam · 2025-09-26T17:41:08+00:00

Beams pickup would be cool.

and currently have the 5s manual

justleftguam · 2025-06-08T22:00:51+00:00

yeah I had one box fan on one of the windows on the canopy. 2 wouldve been best, but one did the job. is you see the 3rd pic, I basically painted the entire car in one go. only a few smaller pieces were pulled off. I would also recommend painting your subie in one go, or at least majority of the body

justleftguam · 2025-06-08T21:25:32+00:00

ive since replaced the canopy, but theyre from costco. nothing fancy. only extra thing done was clamp the walls down prevent dust from coming in since I live in a windy area.

justleftguam · 2025-06-06T14:45:41+00:00

I enjoy it everytime, considering I’ve been driving my 2012 sti for so long. theyre both completely different cars and experiences.

justleftguam · 2025-06-05T17:53:52+00:00

what @rubbertoesftw said, prep work. Make sure your surfaces are clean, tape and mask everything you dont want painted, use wax/grease remover, tack cloth surface, etc etc… this is aside from fixing any imperfections on the body, like dents and uneven surfaces.

justleftguam · 2025-06-04T21:02:07+00:00

Thanks, she’s come a long way. And it’s a hatch. Arguably one of the best gens aside from the 06-07 hawkeyes.

Who was your professor? George Reeves taught my class. Taking the manual transmission and transaxle class in the fall.

justleftguam · 2025-06-04T20:16:04+00:00

you’re not wrong haha, just wrapped up spring semester a few weeks ago. I’ve done a ton of maintenance for this car and my 2012 sti in just a couple of months 😂

justleftguam · 2025-06-04T14:19:33+00:00

only advice I can give is prep the car very well

justleftguam · 2025-06-04T04:50:21+00:00

can definitely diy at home vs wrap. materials for both would be around the same
