I really love my car and plan on keeping it. I don't wanna sell it, never.
It's not something that I plan on doing soon cause I'm broke, but in a few years I will have my real job and I will probably work as a mecanical engineer and I may also have my mecanic's diploma. I was wondering how difficult it would be to get from Fwd to Rwd? Could I just take the transmition and rear differencial from an Mr2 (which has the same engine which is good!) and I guess probably the cv axles and probably the suspention/steering-related parts like the tie rod ends and stuff and make them fit together and Voila? I'm not good enoght right now to know what I shall do to do this conversion, but I will eventually go to school after I get my engineer diploma to learn all about mecanics. (I plan on having a Rwd Celica and a 4wd Gt-Four later. I don't wanna buy a gt-four and convert it to rwd cause this way I would have to buy 2 gt-fours in the end. I'd rather get my Fwd Gts to rwd and then, later, buy a Gt-Four. So please don't tell me to buy a Gt-Four because ''it would be easier to swap''  )Do you think it would be this ''simple'' or would I need to do a lot more things to get the rear wheels spinning? I guess a celica would be easier than other cars to convert since there are a lot of bolt-on parts between the celica-mr2-gt4, am I right? Well, thanks to those who answer me!

You shall change your mind ! haha jk, good luck bro, and what said about you could get the RWD black top BEAMS and use the GT4 rear diff that would prolly work out well.
Talk to Keith at RPMGarage, hes pretty cool and easy to work with. He's sourcing some S15 parts for me right now, so im sure he could find that setup easily. |

Why go with BEAMS engine instead of 3s-gte? |
