i was just thinking about this and didn't know if it was doable or not. everyone knows that when u do the 3sgte swap u can make it fwd and with more money all wheel drive. but could u just make it rear wheel drive. i didn't know if there was some mod u could do to the 3sgte tranny to block out the front wheels so everything goes to the rear. just a thought i had and i figured i would throw it out there.

Celicas are unibody, you cant just simply hack the body to death and put in all the necassary equipment like you could back in the day. Its alot more technical, you have to understand where the energy is being displaced in order to accomidate cutting parts of the body out. And correct me if Im worng but being unibody does the celica even technically have a frame? This post has been edited by Uppitycracker: Apr 6, 2004 - 8:53 PM |

uni-body frame and if you have a awd version of the car on the same frame .. you can make it RWD... just have to disable the FWD in the AWD..

If you have the AWD version... I doubt you'd want to make it RWD. It's not hard, assuming you start with an AWD platform but to custom build an entire rear-end (not as simple as swapping trunk pans) is a whole new ball game. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
