Celica RWD, Transform Options

[keison2000]

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.

First off - IDK who said it above but there most definetely IS a tranny availble for RWD 4A-G(x)x engines - it's the one used on mid 80's Corollas. You would use the tranny and rear diff from an AE86 Rolla basically. The axles would all be custom length and you'd need all custom mounting for the engine and rear subframe. Then, as Playr has pointed out before, you'd need a steering rack that somehow fit around the motor now mounted longitudinally in a car that was designed for FWD/AWD - not gonna be easy at all. Certainly not worth the effort since what you would end up with is a frankenstein car that was basically a heavy AE86 without the huge benefit of the nearly equal front to rear weight differential.
Just buy a Rolla and be done with it [It's not like they even cost very much].

Secondly - someone was telling you to look at e153 or some such other nonsense - not gonna work. That's a FWD/MR tranny for an S Series motor. If you still intend to keep it A Series that tranny is useless to you.
