95gtschick: My friend was going to AWD his Civic, he was going to use Honda CRV parts but it was V-tec and made things difficult.

i have the 3rd gen 3sgte that im swapping into my car now and i also have the 2nd gen 3sgte sitting im my basement. i was originally going to put in the 2nd gen and stick with FWD, but i found a sweet deal on a st205 front clip.
the 2nd gen is going up for sale as soon as i have time to put it in ebay or post it here with pictures. |

The race cell in the trunk never looks good. :-(
Not going to try and source an ST205 gas tank ? I know of a few ST185 gas tanks around. You could use the stock gas tank if you want cut out the spare tire hole and hang it under the trunk ? (just dropping in from all_trac.net:-) Good luck on the Project ! Regards; ------------------------- |

as for the fuel cell........dont worry, when im done with it totally. it will look good. what i might do is make a fiberglass sub box to go over the cell. that should hide it nicely.
i already have all of my fuel parts and there just witing to be put in. thanks ne way.  QUOTE(airmax95 @ Nov 23, 2005 - 8:18 AM) [snapback]358766[/snapback] WOW! This is exactly what I want to do to my ST. Any tips for me on how to get started? be very creative...... |

the biggest factor in doing this swap is fabrication skills.
luckily, his dad is a master fabricator. cant wait to see it finished!

if i have all the parts from an st205 that i would need to convert to AWD and a good fabricator, would i be able to do it having a 7afe or 5sfe or would the engine have to be a 3sgte? i just dont know if the engine/tranny have anything to do with it. thanks.

technically couldnt the 5s motor work? we use 5s tranny with the 3s in a swap but essentially you could do it backwards with a 3s alltrac tranny and drivetrain fit it to a 5sfe motor. it would be pointless. but unique at the same time. am i wrong?

Your right, but then we'd end up like the Subaru Impreza RS. Underpowered AWD. The 5s is slow anyway. Adding the AWD would really put a strain on the motor and slow the car down a good bit. Most people who've got the cash for the AWD also have the money for the 3s. I doubt you'll ever see a AWD 5s powered Celica. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
