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

removing the front half shafts is BAD idea.....you'll only be gettin 50% percent of the power instead of transferring it correctly..

to CORRECTLY do RWD with a 3sgte
you need to find the bell housing from a 2s motor and a supra tranny of which code i totally forget at the moment, and rotate the motor in the engine bay by 90*

i've already done the needed research for this project...its expensive, the parts are HARD to find...and it takes LOTS of work

Yes, the price list is how you say, 4 times the cost of what you paid for your car. AWD would be easier as you dont have to make room for the transmission and driveshaft. Either way you still need to fabricate up the rear end.
