i was skimming through the forums and saw a topic on converting US spec celicas to all wheel drive using the all-trac drivetrain. i read that the possibility of the conversion working was slim to none. i thought it would be easier to convert it to rear wheel drive using the old jdm corolla(AE86) drivetrain. i was wondering if this was more feasible than all wheel drive.

HAHAHA... and I guess you're just *trying* to learn huh? Now... give me ONE good reason, why this should even be discussed at length, I mean... this topic is more or less, a pile of shattered dreams that sensible people would point out as false hopes. Instead of fueling the fire, I'm giving you a mechanical, practical, and objective point of view. It's simply not anything that anyone with any mechanical expertise would do or even conjure up, because they know before-hand what are practical choices and what aren't. Basically... keep dreaming. There is no point putting money into something like this unless you're a millionaire who can afford to drop a few hundred grand into a car. Again, if you can come up with a worthwhile reason as to why, after an objective, if slighty "negative and condensending" point is brought forth by a person with enough knowledge to actually do something and not just talk... then I will put forth effort into considering the idea as a viable conversion for our great great cars... But for now, silly ideas such as a midship Celica or a FR Celica will only last as long as someone with knowledge is willing to fuel it. I mean, if you wanna do it... fine... but Like I said, you all seem more or less like you're dreaming. Why is it that as soon as I point out the RWD conversion would be nearly impossible (and then you accept that it's more than likely true) that you would again bring up another silly idea as a Midship Celica just as quickly as I discounted the other idea? Well... I'd compare it to something like a child, who keeps changing a story as soon as each other story is discounted, all because he/she wants one thing. ATTENTION... if you want someone to say it sooo badly... then here is is: "Excellent idea! I wish I woulda thought of that... now, who is a capable mechanic? What parts do I need? What about the engine? What about a tranny? What about..." Have you even stopped to ask yourself... WHY?
