Hey guys, I love my 6th gen.. I also love rwd. I think it would be cool to transform my 7a into a rwd monster. Has anyone ever attempted to do this. My plan is to convert it and swap a 4agzte in there with a goal of 275 rwhp. This is a plan I am doing to start working on in about a year so I'm preparing my drawing board. As of now, I am swapping in a 4agze over the fall and winter for next spring.

see.... all the L4's are side mounted..... getting a RW tranny mounted to that is infact never going to happen. lol
if you want a RWD celica, your going to need a 1jz/2jz or V6 swap

I could be wrong but im 98% sure there is not a manufactured tranny that will bolt up to Any S or A series toyota engine that will product a rear wheel linkage aside from stuff from the 80's tercel and corolla. ONLY awd, and i dont believe the 154e (3s-gte awd tranny) bolts up to the 4a

the amount of time and effort to make an I6 or V6 fit, would be unbareably costly.

BUY A GT-FOUR! much cheaper
