I know some might flame me for this but I was doing some research and the Supra is almost the same size as the Celica, wheelbase is only around 23mm apart and the width hopfully rotor to rotor (still need to get exact measurement) is only 98mm apart. the width wont be much of a problem due to the flare on the rear fenders and length can be overcome by a custom bellhousing that will be required. I got the idea from the Top Secret Supra. I know the Getrag will be a tight fit but it might be possible to do this without cutting the firewall. I'm know most of the parts I need and I know how RWD vehicles are set up so that is covered, I also have a live in welder (uncle) so fab work isn't an issue. Some might think this is highly impractical and they're right but it's a great concept that I will pursue. I'm going to hit up Supra forums and try to get more measurements for the drivetrain, etc. If anyone that can help with research it will be appreciated. Anything will help but I could use shifter placement, 3S-GTE width pully to output shaft and Getrag input shaft length. As I pursue this project I will post what I can and if it bombs at least there will be information for any other brave soul that wants to take this on.

just a question if your running your axle down that tunnel where your exhaust is now where are you going to put your exhaust?
of coarse we all know you are going to cut the gas tank to fit your stuff bracing for the back but that goes along with all the custom work back there is it doable yeah but is it worth the money? or you can say you can just as easy buy a 90 all track or older celica that is already RWD So what are you going to be doing with this car? show , daily driver, track/drift? -------------------- yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte

[right][snapback]257766[/snapback][/right] Where does the exhaust run for the '90 All-Trac it has an "axle" running down the tunnel. Sorry about saying that, but the exhaust will have to be custom to let the driveshft run down the tunnel. Exhaust is expensive but an easy fix. The exhaust might be a low set and could possibly scrape but its not very hard to add skid plates to keep the car from bottoming out on the exhaust. People with bags do it a lot and I think it looks stupid but to save my $1000 exhaust any cheap insurance will help. |
