AWD Options

[fastcelica20]

Okay I have read many threads and im still confused. i've talked to baddica about his awd stuff he has. here are some pictures he sent me:







i was reading celiman05's thread about his awd conversion and he doesn't state how he did it. i will not be doing it because my cousin is helping me. he is great at fabricating and welding. but im not sure if baddica has all the stuff needed. someone help me out on things that are needed. YEs i do have the finances to do this. since baddica lives near me i could just scoop up his awd conversion stuff. well help me out. im very interested in doing this.

i have mentioned this so many times my fingers hurt typing it again .. as one of the old guys on this forum i have to say when your dealing with drivetrain and structual parts of a car doing things "cheaply" may seem great at first but i assure you in time you will end up paying more ..this a fact ...

there is no awd conversion celica in the US that even remotely impresses me in overall build quality except for rod millens 7th gen but he had unlimited budget . a few on this site had done it and i applaud them for trying to have a complete st205 as possible ..

anyone seriously commited to awd swap .. you really need to get a hold of a importer and get a roof cut st205 which will cost you 4-6k .. with this you will have everything needed to have a complete st205 .. gas tank, lines, floor pan, drivetrain ..etc.... this will save you a ton of money in the long run and if done correctly no one could tell it was converted .. you might even have a car that could bring some good money if you decided to sell later on

later this summer i will set up a thread full of detailed pictures of just about every inch of my st205 for all to use ..
