Chops Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The celica has fully indipendant rear suspension. I didnt know the 4wd starlets had a live rear axel, thats pretty naff lol. I suppose the actual bodyshell of the 4wd starlets isnt too diferent to the fwd, just a slightly larger tunnel down the car, and different fuel tanks and such. Id love to do the conversion to celica running gear, but mines fwd and ive got a (currently dead) prezza for 4wd lols. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldnt take much to make a transmission tunnel in a GT, decent cutting tool should do the trick haha. Ahh they are good fun when working arent they Im getting a bugeye WRX next week for skidding about during Scottish winter lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My prezzers a gc8 prefacelift wrx, pretty much stock and its amazing in every way but fuel economy, when it isnt dead. Dont touch anything with an aftermarket alarm fitted, theyre shit!

Plus dump 5k or something into one and it will shit all over most cars it comes across Unsure of Impreza chassis codes but i had a 94 WRX before and also a Legacy wagon. 4wd systems in them are quality.
