and the Celica for... whatever you deem a front wheel car to be best for.


In other words, DD.... Front engine front wheel drive cars aren't amazing at anything else :-/

I used to think the same way, until I seen a few tuned Type R's in action on winding roads. True they lack potential benefit over other platform layouts, but they aren't 100% useless. So I agree with you, while acknowledging that rule of exception.

Yes,
Well let's be honest, the celica has superb handling, I just don't think that it's nearly as good as it could have been (i.e. GT4). I've definitely hauled on some people through windy roads. As with all professional driving/riding/racing, SKILL is what makes the biggest difference, not how much hp you have under the bonnet...

That being said, once you master a FF car, you'll realize all the fun you're missing on any other platform. It's just too easy to floor it and regain traction...

You can if you want and not that hard really.
As said earlier you will need to mod the rear frame to take the AWD rear, mod the front to take the 3SGTE longtitudally and for the transmission, use the Altessa gearbox which will fit the 3S block.
If you can do this, the rest is easy wink.gif
