yes i am very lucky about to be the proud owner of st162 with the heart and soul of a st185! i know this convertion is very popular and have been dreaming it for 2 years now, the time as come and would love anyone that has done it to post anything they think is real important for me to know about the convesion (i have read up a bit about them and have a pretty good write up on a st185 into a american st165 (easier for us cause same side driving but i only have st162 so maybe a bit different)). so again if u have done one and i know a couple of st162 owners on this forum have.
could u please post any tips and expriance details u had from doign oyurs and your email so if u don't mind and i have any troubles i could email for your help. thank u for your time. i can't wait...!
Went on a toymods cruise about a year ago up to tamborine mountain with a number of st162's about 3 with the convertion a and other celica's, supra, and a corolla with the st185 convertion, and i just fucking loved them.
one question is now, i don't have money to go and get a st185 Group A/St205 water-air cooler and etc. so is it that hard to get the st185 hood scope cut out and on my st162 hood!!

dude do like we tell everyone else who asks this question. use the search tool in the tech section, plus for a but more help look in general car talk, ST162 dedicated thread page 5, I posted a series of links, I did a gen1 swap on mine, Draza, Preator, did a gen2 swap on their's. but remember we may not be too willing cause we get asked this shitloads.
