SEEMS like you need to do a whole lotta reading on this one... see other members awd conversions, and realize its a heck of a custom job,

see other members drop their car at garages to spend months with little or no job done, and it something is done is pure garbage.

its not an easy task, no im not scaring you, you are asking questions that could easily be answered by research.

if you want awd, be prepared to fork 10,000 for the man hours on that one, i dont think there are any shops with the experience on that one either, there is only a few awd converions by a few members.

there is not a how to book, some people have done custom, sliced and diced, then past 2 cars together, and weld the undercariage of the gt4 to a celica.

read their threads, and then decide,

i would agree on this. In order to do the awd swap you have to have a burning addiction for it or your rich to pay someone to do it for you. honestly fwd is fine if you dont care about not using 1st or 2nd gear. 350hp to the front wheels is enough to satisfy anyone honestly.
