Re: Caldina ST215 3SGTE Half cut	Fri, 24 June 2005 23:41

When I was looking at doing the 3S transplant to my car, the Caldina was the only car I could legal get the engine from due to it being built in 96 unless I could find a GT4 halfcut from the last 3 months of production. There is a wrecker over the who consistently gets Caldina GTT's in for wrecking. They were the only one who replied to an internet enquiry from overseas, who I've used them ever since. Prices are pretty reasonable too. http://www.toyotaparts.co.nz/ I was thinking of going over there & going to the yard & stripping the parts I needed out of a car. Mainly to make any shipping item smaller & lighter. Personally, my suggestion would be to approach an importer & tell them that you want a halfcut from a Caldina. Tell them they can get a damaged one (front left or front right) as they are a lot cheaper to buy. Also doesn't matter if the brakes & suspension are damaged as the suspension won't fit your camry, & the brakes are the same as the ST185/ST165 GT4's (ie 2 spot) I doubt you're going to do a 4wd transplant, so they could even get an auto (only about 5% of Caldinas built are manual) I even doubt the radiator would fit.
