The very thing that steered me away was the super strut layout which I knew would have been hard to source parts for. Hell, sourcing parts for a 185 was hard enough.
That third gen 3sgte is leaps and bounds better than any second gen out of the box. At the very least, you have a MAP sensor as opposed to a MAF sensor.
How are you liking that ATW intercooler that drones when it turns on? Personally, I hated it after a while.
Be very careful if you plan on rebuilding your turbo. From what I remember, the 3rd gen 3sgte came with a ceramic turbine that's more fragile than the steel counterparts.
Head over to alltrac.net it's a wealth of information there.

I don't think I've heard anything from the ATW cooler? I will have to listen carefully next drive.
I plan on keeping the superstrut for now as I think it works very well when it is in good shape. I am not an engineer and I'm sure Toyota knows more than I do about these cars haha, so I will leave it that way.
I have signed up on Alltrac.net and will browse around!

I think some have done it with 5th gen front hubs, which you can get off any 5 lug 5th gen (so GT, GTS or GTFour) and get the strut insert tubes as well (letting you use the replaceable inserts).
As for the shifter bushings you can contact Luke at xiiimotorsports out of Ontario, they make a bunch of stuff including bushings for Celicas.

I checked out xiii motorsports, but they do not offer shifter bushings for the celicas... they actually specify that they DO NOT work in the 94-99 models...
Oh well... i am going to order them from Speed Source direct, however I have an email into them inquiring about shipping details lol. They want $60 to ship 2 little brass bushings...
