Im new to this site.
Im wondering if i can find any gt4 or all trac around where i live (Boston, Massachusetts) or will it be easier to just convert a normal celica to a gt4. If it is possible to convert Will it even work because i don't know if the st205 gt4 came wide body, so if i take everything from a gt4 (for example) will it fit a gt liftback of the same model year. Because then i can just do that find all the exterior pieces buy the motor, tranny etc. and just put it into a gt lift back. I do want it awd i want it exactly the same (mechanically) but if i cant have the extroir exact that's fine. Comment Please. |

No, everything is NOT bolt-up. It isn't that simple. Read, young grasshopper, read. The motor alone will bolt up. Nothing else will. The wiring harness needs work. You will either have to extend it or else cut a new hole in your firewall. You cannot use the AWD transmission if you stay FWD.
If you go AWD, you are in for a huge nightmare. You will have to custom fabricate almost everything for the rear end. That means precise measuring, cutting, welding, etc. It's not as simple as unbolting some pieces from one car and bolting them to yours. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
