engine in the rear Options

[mneal2_92788]

has anyone ever thought of putting an engine in the rear? it would make our 6th gen a RWD, and i personally think it would be awesome! if this has been talked of b4, sorry. i tried a search and of the 52 pages, i didnt see anything.
i thought about buying another 6g, and try this. the hardest part would prolly be the tranny controls, and a new firewall.

call me crazy but i remember years ago (maybe around the year 2000) that i was looking up some celica pictures back when i still had my 4th gen, and i came across this one white 6th gen show car (can't remember whether it was a hatch or coupe, more likely a hatch tho) that was heavily modified with an engine in the rear (MR style).
i don't remember if it was an english or asian webpage but i saw it...

I DO remember this. (it was an english webpage)

I'm trying to find that page now (if it's still up) but I remember it looked kinda stupid because they didn't have the motor recessed far enough and you could see the motor through the back glass while standing @ least 5-6ft. away from it.

Not knocking the idea though. I would be neat to see one perfected though.
