[spunky393]

that's because it doesn't exist

[Supersprynt]

You need one thing and one thing only, an ST205.

[spunky393]

i meant the swap by the way Rob, and yes, Super couldn't be more right, or the st185

[Punch]

It's been done down here I saw it with my own 2 eyes. A full ST205 conversion,but it cost! unless you are not gonna do it your self, are got some good techs behind you; don't think it gonna be cheap ,the guy who did it told me $6000 to get mine done.

why dou think i bought that viper engine on ebay ....

[SinisterWhisper]

a celica with a v10? or is it a v8? hmm can't remember but regardless that would be a celi on crack

[Consynx]

i would like to see a RWD celica
and MRcelica would just be insane...

[Supersprynt]

It'd just be an RCelica since the M represents midengine.

If you want to do this much modification to the celica i'd recommend a different car.

[DamDirtyApes]

im putting the viper engine in my trunk. i dont know where to put my subs though. maybe under the hood?

[Consynx]

SS, i know what the MR stands for

i was referring to the mercedez knock-off celica...
MR

just needs to get rid of all that benz crap

[ROBWOZ1018]

Still pisses me off to think they never shipped her to us...Im sure if somehow you could swap it...that there would be a list of problems youd get with it...Saw on ebay what appeard to be the whole conversion

Nothing against you bro... but you're taking too big of a bite. Based on your topic in General Discussion... you need to do a fair bit of research, just to know the basics of a Toyota swap, before you start venturing with AWD conversions, and even those crazy dudes who wanna do V10 Mid Engine conversions and such. I know they're just kidding (hopefully...) but just so you know... most of them really haven't a clue about how to build a custom car (nothing against you guys... really... ) I mean, it's not terribly hard (engine swap and possible AWD conversion), but it's no cake walk. Learn the basics... know how different Toyota engines and drivetrain are set-up, and perhaps this can be done. That... or throw a big chunk of change at a very skilled performance shop... but if that were the case... what's the point in asking us questions...

Also, I did write up a pretty complete list of parts for an AWD conversion in the suspension forum. Try a search there...

I was going to say some stuff but this guy worte that


but ... its not as hard as some might think.... a rear wheel drive conversion takes time and u have to do ur homework first.... Frist things frist ... Parts what parts ur celi has and what parts do u need to get and what u need to swap out and replace.. Then what tools u need ... . start for them transmission the work ur self back .... if u really want to do this... frist step i would take if i was u .. would be to get the repair texts for ST205/ST185 ST204/AT200
