RWD conversoin Options

[mneal2_92788]

is it even possible to do a RWD conversion? i just wondered b/c i saw a 3000 GT twin turbo w/ like 280 hp. i know its prolly stupid, and i dont have the money to do it i just wondered if i ever do have that kind of cash would it work? and estimate on cost?

One hundred billion dollars.

but seriously, you would need deep pockets to do something like that.

no.

I think you should just get a supra or something. It would be just really stupid to even try that one.

If you have the money to do any kind of conversion why not just do an AWD conversion? It controls high horsepower numbers much better.

On another note...How much would you guys estimate an 3sgte and AWD conversion if done at the same time?

You guys really need to learn how to search. I'm not trying to flame, but all of this has been covered many times.

if you love your celi to death and have the money to do it, then why not. It's something different, right?

It's been done in an Integra which as most of us know is pretty much Hondas version of the Toyota Celica...

I'm not sure how much this guy spent but it's pretty interesting... like the saying goes if you have deep pockets you can do pretty much whatever you want with your car...

There's like a million pages... but scroll through them, it's amazing!

Sure, you could make a Celica RWD. With alot of money of course.

For starters...If you wanted to use an OEM toyota powerplant for example, you could use any S-series engine on custom mounts and mount the engine longitudinally in the engine bay, then use a Toyota Altezza 6-speed RWD transmission to bolt up to the engine. You might have to take a sledgehammer, plasma cutter, etc to the firewall to get either to fit right, it could fit just right or it could be entirely too long and require serious work to fit.

From there, you'd need a customized Altezza driveshaft most likely, then maybe use the rear end from the Altezza as well and maybe use some GT-Four rear hubs to utilize some custom axles, which in itself would require some awesome fabrication skills. You would probably also need either a relocated fuel tank or a GT-Four tank.

Thats just a very basic idea of what I would imagine would get the job done....ALOT of custom work involved, ALOT of cursing.....I think I'd rather just go out and buy a Supra. It would probably be cheaper anyway.

personally i'd look into a celica supra trannyi, such as the combo used the the RWD 3sgte AE86 we've seen posted here, with a entire GT4 rear end and drive shaft...since that all "FITS"
