If you are using a 4WD donor car wouldn't the weight balance be fairly similar to the donor car? I think this is the point of the exercise, GT4 speed and handling with RA2x style. This sort of thing has been done before but you have to be a lunatic (read that as willing to try something everyone else says wont work) and you have to be willing to cut up a perfectly good early Celica. You need to look at what has been done by guys building hillclimb specials and similar cars, they are often pushing the boundaries a little further than most other race cars. What usually happens is I have a good body from X car, I just wrote off Y car but the running gear is good. Wonder if I can make it fit? It is all about doing something different BUT if you want different you need to be aware of the work involved before you start and either have the time or the money (or both) to see it through. If not, don't start or it will be a waste of a good Celica. A few examples of what have been built here in NZ. 4x6 Mazda 323 turbo (2 yes 2 turbo engines in the front) 1UZFE Sprinter (they made it fit somehow) 4WD Sprinter (I beleive they used a Ford Sierra setup) Callum [Report message to a moderator]
