i was looking underneath my scion... looking for ideas... and i noticed that if the gas tank was relocated and all the electronics in the rear were moved out of the way. you could fit a differential and add the drivetrain to make the scion 4wd or.... maybe even rwd... i'll be researching on this.... don't think it'll be an at-home garage project... maybe a few years down the road when i've seen everything already.

that was the next idea i had... i was at the dealership where i bought my scion and my buddy was gonna go for an xa but he saw the celica gts... so he preordered one, but while all that was happening... i was seriously eyeing the engine bay and ideas were coming out of my head... and after we left the dealership... i told my buddy if he ever and if ever he wrecked the celica gts... i'd buy the motor and trans from him... if things were to go that way, i would defenitely try to swap the motor... now that would make an awesome swap
