For those of you who have AWD Conversions, Yeah Options

[Random_Stranger]

Search, search, search. What the funk ever. Dude, I can't even find the guy who is selling the bulbs for the freaking speedometer gauges (if you can direct him for me, that would be awesome, unless you know a better way). Anyways, I was wondering if a complete front clip is all I need (as far as parts go), or would I need other things? Was it worth it (money and time wise) in the end? Is there a better way to get more speed out of your celica than just that conversion and swap? Is just the swap more sensible? Bigger engine? What kind? Spit your knowledge for me here, so I have one source to save and always go back to.

Thanks,
Faust

Cool thanks. And for the record, I realize I am not any where near ready for AWD or even the engine swap itself. I am just gaining confidence (that I never had before) with the small things I am going to be doing with my car. Happy to fix things that break, rather than be upset for the misfortune. Right now the radiator went out, so I am ordering a Koyo aluminum one and things like that. Shocks need to be replaced and I am picking up my kyb ones from ups, but I won't install them until I decide on what springs to go with, and if I can make it to Mr. Jeff Lews or not. I am sure I might be able to install those though. How hard can it be?


More power to run all 4 wheels and slower? I kind of pictured it like a person pulling themselves or climbing. FWD would be just your arms. RWD would be just your legs. AWD arms and legs. Know what I mean?

Since FWD the car is pulling itself, RWD it is pushing itself and yeah...
