From fwd to awd, is it possible? Options

[goferris]

I have read somewhere that it isn't possible to change a american celica into an awd gtfour type of set up. Is that True? I am new to the forum and not sure if this has allready been touched on earlier but that is one of my dreams to have. living in the states i doubt i will ever have the chance to ever own a real one. Does anyone know for sure?
thanks for the info

lagos. SHUT UP! say something other than "no" for once!

it can be done, you dont need to me a frickin engineer. and you for DAMN sure don't need to listen to lagos. green mach toy is doing it and writing a buildup, and celiman05 has done the swap and is now selling it.

bottom line, metal is metal, anything can be done.

ok. ill be a dumb cheerleader. DO IT DO IT DO IT

celiman05's DAD did it . he happens to be a fabricator by trade. only a few months after the project is compete the car goes for sale. kind of makes you wonder why somone would take on a project like that and then not want it unless there was something wrong or the fear of something going wrong.

btw, what hands on experience do you have on this matter? i had the awd diff and drive shaft. jacked up my car, dragged the diff and shaft under it and saw what needed to be done. how about you?

EDIT: one more thing. if anyone has the skills to take on a project like this, they would know what is/isn't possible or safe without having to ask people on a forum that has nothing to do with fabrication. they sure as hell wouldn't pay attention to my opinions on the matter.
