QUOTE(celicast3sgte @ Feb 6, 2008 - 2:05 PM) [snapback]638682[/snapback] try an awd swap too. awd curren/celica. would be interesting.... plan is to set the motor up in FWD, to start, and tune it on FWD. For the sake of time and $. Once the motor is tuned (hopefully not breaking too many axles in the process) and running like it should. I'll take on a RWD setup. |

You could use a flat sheet of metal with beads rolled into it (maybe 4 across) and that would be sufficient. |
