So who's the expert on this. I know that neverstop has done an AWD conversion. Would the only thing limiting this conversion with those parts be the length of the driveshaft? B/c I know people chop driveshafts all the time. You'd need a tranny, driveshaft, rear end, and driveshaft mount, and rear axles? Am I missing anything?

Well here's the thing. I feel you on that creis. But the thing is, in the future for as much power as I want, I have to go AWD.


I here you on that! I'm getting a second job to pay for building up the power in my celica and for the amount I want it would make sense to have awd!

I really don't want any other car besides the Celica b/c I really feel that you can make it very unique compared to other cars. I like the look of the Celica better than any other car aside from the Supra. I just have to make the Celica perform like other cars.

So I'm doing my research now, and my Celica will probably be gone soon. But I will have another one in a couple years, and it may be a GT4 and it may be converted I dont' know. But I don't think it would all that hard to convert it. The hardest part would be getting parts, and having a chassis shop do the rear alignment.
1993 alltrac
wheelbase of 99.4
Length: 174 in. Width: 68.7 in.

6gc
wheel base of 99.9
Length: 174.2 in. Width: 68.9 in.(exterior)



Yeah, I have been seriously considering using 5th gen all-trac parts since those cars were sold here in the states. From my research I found that it would be very easy to use 5th gen parts. You would mainly need some spacers fabricated due to the 6th gen being abit bigger. The driveshaft might have to be custom though, depending on the power output. I'm not sure what the 5th gen can handle.
