I'm looking for a Rear End off a Gt-Four to fit my Buddy's 96 Celica Gt Convertable. If anyone has any knowledge of finding one of these, please lemme know.

everyone has an opinion on this topic and here is what i came up with after talking a look at the awd parts i have and all doing all my reasearch.

making the fwd celica into awd is not a simple bolt on. you will have to remove the gas tank and relocate it (use a racing fuel cell). next you will have to weld a bracket in place to bolt the rear diff to. after that, you should be able to use the st185 suspention on the car.

from all the gt4 pics i have done, i believe that the st185 awd did not change at all in the st205 GT4. only things that were upgraded were the brakes, rotors and suspention on the new gt4.... but you should still be able to use st185 parts for the conversion.


you forgot cutting away the front half of the spare tire well wink.gif and you can still use the stock gas tank.. it just has to be moved back like it is on the alltracs and the GT4's - fuel cell is the better route though.

pimpstarr690 - I want you to listen to me.... U R NOT READY FOR THIS..... no offense there.. but your not ready. I attempted this project about 3 years ago.. and while I got it to work it had problems... major ones and I ended up takin it off.

that was on a liftback, your going to try and attempt this on a convert = DANGEROUS - the major prob I had with this setup was almost uncontrollable pull to the side at high speeds. I STRONGLY recommend that you just stop this project before it even gets started.

Not because it can't be done.. cuz it can. But because it's not worth it.

with that said I want you to know that this is not an attempt to flame you, it is an attempt to discourage you from something that could potentionally cause a major problem/accident/etc.

but if you decided to go ahead with it... I got a transmission for you biggrin.gif

edit: shameless selling tactics rock biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
