since your so knowledgeable about celicas, why don't you start offering up some solutions instead of just problems, i was just throwing it out there for discussion. obviously its going to take more than just turning bolts to make it work, so far all that you have posted on this topic has been negative and condesending. show more respect for the people who are just working out rough ideas, i know that you have a lot of knowledge on these cars and your input is valuable but not if your going to be a prick about it.

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?

lol..lol kwanza i'm not laughing at you its just i understand how your feeling and i was just talking about the same thing the other day...

me and my cousin did have the idea of buy a 96 supra that roof was damaged from a tree falling on it.. and getting another 6gc and taking everthing from the supra and putting it into the celi... we drew diagrams for as to how everthing was going to work out and left room for the unexpected... well we took up must of a 130 page note book thinking this up. and after talking to our uncles and some of their friends which are all mechanicas and or welders we so a good reasonable way of making this work..

i feel alot of people have ideas that can work but have no real clue as to how to make it work and money well for some people thats not such of a big problem.. it usally just comes down to know how and will to do it ...
