i know this video is old, and its a noob question, but how'd he get the car to be only rwd? i was told you cant adjust the front/rear bias, and its very difficult to make it only rwd... never been clear on how people did it...

At the end of every shot, it looks like it's going to smash into that track/pit divider.

2-sway LSD in the rear, and I'd be pretty sure that car is still AWD

Removal of the center differential will make it RWD. Take out the center differential, front axles, and put blanks into the axle holes in the transmission.

^ I think that's because it is still AWD. It looks like he chucks it in hard with the handbrake in the first shot, but notice how the rear never seems to truly slide out.

(puts on flame suit)
so why cant we use the e154f and just cap the rear diff, and only use the FWD in our swaps. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

BAM! FWD box. this is the proper way of doing it. and to be clear, removing the front axles to make the car RWD will have the same effect, only 50% of the power will make it to the wheels and the diff will eventually burn due to friction, the diff is designed to split the power 50 / 50 front and rear, then the rear is LSD ( OEM on the ST305 ) the front is open diff, that's how he manage to do a little drifting, if he had tires better suited for this,. it would look almost as good as any RWD car ( with a proper driver ) but he's using tires that have too much traction. --------------------  |

QUOTE (Neon90424 @ Nov 11, 2011 - 7:48 AM) expensive fwd box. Not if you already had it in your clip, and find a busted/junkyard mr2 box. its essentially an e153 with gears mated to the 3sgte/celica. 3 options if you want a e series trans when you get the e154f with a clip 1. Buy a FWD e series (e153, e53, etc) 2. Buy & convert an MR2T tranny to FWD (using brackets and such from the e154f) 3. Convert the e154f to FWD. (using the MR2 diff, block off plate) options 2&3 will require just about the same cost, option 3 requires a lot more effort as you will have to actually split the tranny open, but if you find an LSD(thats not already installed in a suitable trans), why not? It all depends on what YOU want to do, your skill/tool set, and what is available to you. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

WAYYY more traction in the rear, than up front. you'd want normal street tires in the rear, super sticky tires up front. which might not even work dependin on how the center diff reacts to big differences in speed between the front and rear(IIRC its open, so it will send all the power to the spinning sets...) -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
