Incredible work! I’ve always dreamt of converting my own Celica to rear wheel drive and it’s nice to see that while it is achievable, it takes a ton of work. Thank you!

You do not know how happy I am seeing your video. I have seen internet articles about your conversion and I am glad someone decided to do a RWD conversion on the celica. The celica does not have a lot of audience for modification, tuners, and an aftermarket so this video really gets me happy for the celica community. Thank you for explaining how you did this conversion so more people can think of trying this.

I'm glad it helped you all! I wanted to do something that no one was doing, so if someone imitated me, that would be what I expected! Introduce any video to your friends!
Whoa! The finished car looks incredible, I'm honestly surprised how factory the engine compartment looks, as well as the perfect fitting interior, very impressive!
I own a Celica, and this is a dream above a dream to have. Love the Celica's so much. It handles so very well and it always feels like an adventure on the road. But I can barely drift with it because of the stock FWD.

Thank you very much. My dream was to convert this CELICA to RWD and drift!
Unbelievable. You have done what most people only dream of doing. I had a big smile on my face when I saw the Celica drifting! I hope it gives you many more years of continued joy. From one proud celica owner to another :)

No, I passed the official inspection by the regular procedure.
How the Celica wanted to be from the factory. Very nice. I have a plan for doing something similar except with a LS 5.3L, a tremic tkx, and 4 link 9in out back so, imagine this but with over twice the power and almost 3 times the torque. I'm looking more at a fast street car and occasionally drag racing. And maybe to troll the import guys a little.
