i swaped in the turbo motor, along with all the body parts from the awd celica GT-four. the car is still fwd, because the AWD is VERY hard to swap over.

Shut it. Maybe there is a super stealthy driveshaft that runs inside the fenders, or something.

NO. why? because it requires a HUGE amount of custom fabrication. nothing i could ever do on my own, and if i had to pay for it, i would be looking at at least 10grand to get it done. the rear end dosnt bolt right on, the gas tank needs to be removed for a fuel cell in the turnk, not to mention, if anything is done wrong, the whole car could turn into a death trap.

the other reason is that the car does very well in the fwd setup or the power it has. you can kind of think of it as an srt4. lots of power, but does well with a fwd setup.
