i want to develop a sub frame using CAD im planning on designing it so that you could put the conversion in the GT or ST without any major fabrication, is this of interest to anyone?

Unfortunately the frame is the easy part. knowing where to place the subframe and secure it is the hard part.

It seems like you could use a couple existing holes to align the subframe and then weld other parts for strength.... I don't know the specifics of how much of the rear needs to be removed to make room for the subframe though. (I have an ST205 subframe in my garage, but no Celica to compare it to! laugh.gif )
