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.

Hey, Im sorry that I didn't respond lately but like my computer crashed and I tryed to make an earlier reply today but I guess that it didn't like to work. lagos, If you were tryn' to E-Mail me earlier and it didnt go through it was because my aunt deleted my account. But I understand the AWD conversion. It would be pretty sweet to do it but it would be pretty damn hard to do. Currently I'm doing the bodywork to the Celi. I got rid of those teeth that are in the center grill. I tryed to use Bondo but I realized that didn't work due to the fact that I used the wrong stuff. But the fuel Cell, Would you have to cut a hole in the rear trunk to place it in correctly like RWD cars? But 3S-GTE swap will also hopefully be done this winter. My friend still wants to do that AWD conversion. So if anyone has any pictures on the specific modifications are can I please get them so I can take a gander to see what I'm getting myself into?

well if i sound like an ass saying this, o well ...

you obvoiusly dont know any thing about celicas. awd is proberly the toughest thing you can do on the celica. not only does it have to be placed PERFECTLY, there are so many changes that will have to be made to the car. if you had any kind of mechanical knowledge you would relize just from looking at the underside of your friends car that seroius work would have to be done such as cutting part of the spare tire well, or moving the gas tank. i hope you understand that if you place a part a MM off that it could mean total destruction to the car. would u really want your friend or anyone you know to be driving this car at 100 mph then the rear axle falling off cuasing the car to crash and everyone to burn to death.


there are so many people on this site that are so smart when it comes to cars. if it was a thing that could be done, it would of have been done many times over.

you need to think of the consequences of converting to awd. i wouldnet let a mechanic do it for free to my car. just simply you cant trust it. Our cars arent made for awd. i am by far no good at cars. i havent even changed my oil, yet i know that this would be pretty much impossible. you would need so many tools, and so much money invested into a shop to do it the right way.

and lastly lets say you get started with this project but eventually cant finish it, your friend is going to be left with a car that wont work. thats money down the drain... (and one less celica frown.gif )

please, PLEAse do everyone a favor and do not attempt this. you cant do this right. if you had the know how you would not need to ask where parts are or if u could move certain things somewhere.

heh everyone must think im an ass now biggrin.gif but what i said is the truth, you want to take chances with your lives. go right ahead.
