Ok I give up. I must be one of very few people let on this forum that have nay interest in modding cars.
But I will say one more thing! If you think converting an ST165 to RWD is going to put more weight at the front, your a tosser. You will be removing a heavy arse gear box from between the front wheels and replacing it with a box down the middle of the car.

I have changed my mind. Simon, go buy another 86 just to keep these kids happy.

How does a relatively light compared to its strength st165 box and engine placed as far back as its able to be in the bay . Angled towards the rear of the car running east/west . Being made to fit North/South the engine will sit further forward and with a w series box behind it . Its mass will not be if any further back than the st165 box , how is this going to equal better weight distribution ! As well as a much higher engine/gearbox mass , do it if you think its a good idea . But after struggling around a the drive-train in those cars you soon see that every available space has been filled as well as the whole unit sitting as low as possible .

Next i will here that early ta celicas also have good weight distribution , every lifted one by a crane into a crusher ? the center of gravity is at the point of the screen top edge . Measure how far forward the engine mounts in relationship to front wheels compared to the sprinters , there firewall is way back due to not having that huge under sweeping dash that the celica's have . No wonder no one is drifting those understeer is the only result no matter how modified . I must be one of the few people on this forum that have a interest in modifying car worth modifying to start with .

Its not really a case of it cannot be done , but in a limited time , with a limited budget . Also the availability of parts since Simon has already seen his far share of vehicles since such is the nature of the sport he is involved with . I remember when the ca18 ae86 Beginning , it evolved to a competitive car with no budget in weeks . Not years or months which a four wheel drive to rear wheel drive conversion would take .

Hey call me a whatever you like but in the time some people here haven't even done a engine conversion / brake conversion whatever , Simon has been competing in a car with all manner of running gear / suspension / brakes / shells . I put my hand up to help as normal , but the point of the exercises exceeds the point of stupidity . I could see it still not going until next year , then to try to make it handle Rolling Eyes

and all the time the other competitors are progressing forward Sad

Your simply full of shit. Until you get a 165 and pull it apart and move the engine around, you have place talking the shit you are.
I also want to see one of these dreamer 165s with the "light" gear box mounted back under the car! I also want to see a 165 that has the standard engine sitting further back that what the engine will when mounted north south. You have no idea at all about the GT4s and the 3S engines. I bet you dont even know the 3S is a shorter engine than the 2T?
