And well, im not going to argue with a 16 yearold know it all. There is no point. I have said my words and I am done with messing with this kid. If he has an issue with me he can send me a PM. which in turn i probably will just delete.

look at mine again and you can clearly see it says Auto to manual conversion. I did that out of my garage. My father and I did that by hand. And by the way, you type like a 14 yearold. Let me guess, you are 16? Parents bought your car and everything for it. Or maybe you work at advanced auto? ( not dissing on you daniel)
awww the VA love haha thank god i havn't worked there in a LOOOONG TIME smile.gif

but SEV is a realist, he's opinionated but thats his right...you don't like it tough(although he could use a language edit wink.gif )

bro you should come to my garage SEV and see wats up smile.gif
I think there have been some good points and bad on both sides here. Learning how to communicate on the internet is a valuable skill. I can't spell at all, so most of the time I run my posts through a spell check. I recommend it to anyone with problems. MS word also lets you know, or at least tries to, when you need punctuation. On the other side, no one has done a RWD conversion to a Celica except for in a 5th gen that was already a gt-4. So how does anyone know what would be easiest? Maybe it is easier to build a full custom rear end over trying to make a gt-4 rear end work on a regular gt. If yungdriver wants to mess with this project, I'm not going to stop him. Even if he doesn't complete it, if he posts everything we will learn something. I wish him the best of luck with this project. Let’s all just try to be a little nicer to each other, please. Everyone needs a virtual hug here.

You have to understand, you are 16 and new to these boards. Everyone that is replying to him from what i recall has been on the forum just as long as me if not longer. You have no idea how many times we have seen posts about people trying to turn the celi into RWD. You also have no idea how many times we had to deal with the same questions asked weekly over some retard idea.

This is a forum, when you post it reflects who you are. When you post something moronic, well people loose respect for you. When you post some outrageous idea, its called skepticism. WE have seen posts like this before and nobody has accomplished it. why cause its a money bucket for a car that isnt worth it. Most of the people in this thread arnt bashing him, they are stating how they would have done it or what he would have been better off doing.

So remember every time you or someone posts, its open to the world to flame, bash, applaud and do whatever the hell they want with it.

Why go through all the trouble for rwd? You might as well just go awd and 3s swap for all that trouble.
another one of those guys that just wants to be different, you know the type.

You gotta ask yoursef... is it worth the $$? Wouldn't it be money better spent on another / new car?

Reason why I say this is from personal experience. My first creation was this. It could have had a 3S-GTE... but
1) it's damn expensive
2) you won't be able to recoup the costs when you sell the car
3) you may as well buy a new car for the money.

As with the Corolla, the Celica isn't exactly a high-model car - in fact it's Toyota's cheapest sports car. Is it really worth putting so much money, time, effort into an effectively entry-level car?

Just my 2c.


I already have two RWD cars and i'm still doing this, that means you missed the point, expensive isn't the issue my insurance is expensive. A new car would be nice but what's the point I have an 18 year old car that will run with a brand new Mustang easily, it's the fact of doing it. It'll be expensive but since i'm looking into GM parts for fitment that will cut cost down dramatically and it'll still be "in the family" since GM and Toyota are pretty close, like I said there was the Toyota Cavalier, then the more recent Vibe/Matrix. Most enthusiest don't get what they paid and I don't care because I drive them until the wheels fall off that's the point in doing it, unless it's a classic muscle car then you might get what you paid for. Besides everytime someone buys a Lexus they're thowing money away, why buy an IS when an Altezze is like 8 thousand cheaper and the motor is just as good with two less cylinders.
sorry to bring this back, but I've got some problems with that last post.

Why do you have to instigate? Just back off, man. He's not doing any harm, he's just a kid who's going to learn something. What he is doing is a huge project, but it is possible and it has been proven time and time again with imports. I think you're just trying to start trouble. He even took our advice and started using punctuation, so at least he's trying. If this goes much farther, I'd recommend this thread deleted. I think it would be a lot better to clean it up and try to salvage it for the small bits of useful info. I really hope this project works, and I'd like to give as much support as possible. I also prefer if these forums stayed a little less negative, and continued to be positive and kind to people with innovative thoughts.


EDIT: Modderaters, please delete this post along with all others that are just petty bickering.
