Whats up guys!! havent seen anyone in forever. I sold all my toys, celica, mr2, and the 4runner rotted to death. Time for a new car.
I need AWD. I was thinking about getting a Forester or outback and doing the STI swap to it. But my heart is with toyotas. If I can get an older celica shell and throw in a 3rd gen 3sgte slap a bigger turbo on it and, heres the kicker actually USE the power it makes, in an AWD setup, I'm down. I cant ever go back to FWD after the MR2 but the celica is such a nice car, even today its a great looking car and can be found cheap. I looked into Importing a gt4 from canada but they want a little to much money and can't guarantee it will even be able to be registered here. So yeah, getting to the point. has anyone really put the time into doing an AWD swap? Is it as easy as getting a front and rear gt4 clip and just swapping everything or is that impractical? Good to talk to you guys again. I hope Someone remembers me :X heres a refresher.  If it can't be done reasonably still.. then I think I'll go with an mk3 supra. Toyota FTW.

Lol cutting and welding VIN plates...your braver than myself...i happened to do some research a few weeks ago and it seems that the GT4 (6th gen) is considered a 6th gen celica no matter what...Only problem is the engine. The rules state that any 6th gen registered in Canada CAN be imported into america...if it has a 5sfe in it...To be honest i don't think anyone at the border will care...and as far as registering it, it comes down to your local city.
IMHO i would attempt it just to see how far i would make it..... Different states have different rules...i was looking at the requirements for Missouri and all they care about is a bill of sale and some other paperwork..... -------------------- (\__/)
