Hey everyone!
I would really like to change my 97 Celica in to a RWD. I have prospects on a 3SGTE engine and transmission. personally, I think RWD is better than AWD in respects that I wont be rallying the car. do you think it is possible? if so do you think its also possible to make it posi trac? Sorry to sound like a total newb but its true. please give me all the advice you can possible give! Thank you very much, Kevin |

RWD would be easier than AWD in a Celica. The non-GT4 Celicas aren't designed for AWD and you would need some serious chassis modifications with the risk of structurally damaging the chassis. If you want AWD, you would be better off getting a GT4 to start with. Having said that, a few people have done an AWD conversion (and I believe one of them almost runs straight and true  ). There are loads of threads discussing AWD conversions.As an aside, does anyone know if the chassis for the ST203 with 4WS is more suitable for a AWD conversion? RWD would be easier as one could move the entire engine bay to the trunk. A rear clip from a MR2 might be a good donar. This has been talked about several times as Jason says, but to my knowledge no-one has actually attempted it yet. -------------------- Davey
