i think the reason the bumper looks out of place is the angle some of the pictures were shot at exposing the FMIC behind it. If it was all black with maybe a black grill over it or just having the FMIC painted black woudl make it not look out of place. Still think the wing is huge, even in the pic of the other car you posted.

yeah, your right, the wing is on the larger side. i think toyota made it that way, so that it wont block the rearview mirror. i would say that its not any bigger then the stock evo wing, or the stock sti wing.

bringing old threads back to life is pretty sweet. im a pretty big fan of the all-trac celicas and you deffinately have a nice half-trac. i see you around at meets every now and then but i never always get side tracked before i can chat with you about your car, so i guess tst works all the same. anyway, did you do all the work/swapping yourself? how come you didnt just get the 5g alltrac? really nice car OEM styling ftw!

GLHWCU · 09-20-2006, 02:28 PM

i did the swap myself, in the summer of 2004. i pretty much knew nothing at the time, but boy did that change..lol. best thing about doing a swap is what you learn, imho. i didnt get a 5th gen alltrac because .... A) they are kind of hard to find. B) i already had a lot of the exterior of the car done. i loved the look, just wanted more power. .. C) you get an over all faster car with by doing the swap in a 6th gen , then you would by just buying a stock alltrac.

i have a ton of pics that i took during the swap, if anyone wants to check them out.

CHAOS · 09-20-2006, 11:12 PM

if you read thru the post like a non-retard... you will plainly see that he has stated SEVERAL times that its FWD and not AWD.

I don't have time to constantly read through the seas of replies.

But after I posted, I looked for the rear diff in one of the shots and came to my own conclusion.
