So I was thinking to myself the other day if anyone had atempted an AWD TC. I know the reaction most people have is NO. but I mesured a toyota Matrix the other day and It is actually about 2in shorter than my TC. I know there would be some clearance isues but if anyone has looked under there TC there is a lot of room. Any thoughts on the subject?? Seem like a little wast of Money but thats the cost of customization.Yes I did search the fourms for a while before I asked my question.

 

everyone has thought of it, then quickly thought about how much money it would cost and forgot about it ;)

 

has anyone ever tried to contact scion about it? all in all its not that much $. I know where there is a wrecked matrix for about 4k not bad for one of a kind

 

man..your talking a lotta work...i wouldn't even know where to began..

but if you wanna do it, anything can be done

 

Of course people have thought of an AWD tC, but all the man power and $$$ to convert just isn't worth it IMHO. With all that 'chedda' you're better off just buying a Subaru WRX.

 

rather get an evo...haha....i guess its possible to make the tc an awd car...but unless you have a shop, or friend who has one and a lot of $$$$, might as well forget about it and enjoy our ride

 

mazdaspeed 3 please. FWD FTW!

 

I agree with Chris (weird huh?), save the money you'd need to make a tC AWD and buy a MazdaSpeed 3. It'll do 155 MPH outta the box.

 

iits not awd though .-. wrx fur shure

 

^True. But one hundred fifty five. For about 22k.

 

yeah but the wrx starts at like 23k, and i personally don't like the wagon look but hey they are both nice cars, wouldnt mind either

 

Oh wow...155mph.....

When you plan on using that limiter eh? Find a road course big enough maybe, but then you'd be laid waste to by every other car there. On the strip? If you're trapping 155mph then you're running <10.0 seconds. On the street? No, I won't make the assumption that you're stupid enough to endanger other people like that.

 

He might be referencing the power and gearing allowing it 155 mph. The tC at max power and top gear would hit 140ish? Who knows. Anyways, if you're looking for an AWD tC you'd be ahead to, oh, I don't know...

consider using a transmission that'll mount to the 2AZ block.

Have you forgotten that the RAV4 has awd? Start there. The 1ZZ transmission won't fit to the 2AZ. Rick McCallum has already looked into that.

I know the RAV4's transmission is automatic but hey, maybe enough parts will swap to convert the existing transmission into an AWD one. The RAV4 has AWD; start there.

 

true, never even thought of that.....does the rav4 use the same block as the tc(dumb question)

 

Bragging rights.

 

well is there any tranny that fits our motor? better yet anyone thought of the v6 camary engine into a tc or maybe a celica gts motor ???

 

Thanks for all the input. has anyone thought if a 6 speed celica tranny can be modified to fit a TC..... oops Ill search

 

there was a last gen celica that was converted to awd in i think modified mag... bout 300whp... i was just an older alltrac drivetrain with the 3sgte motor swaped and made to fit... if i had the money and time it would be worth a try... u would def be 1 of a kind

 

Man i posted sontin similair to this and everyone bashed on me as if i wanted to trade i a tc for a civic lol. The reason why alot of people likw myself want a awd tc is becuase the tc is the best looking affordable car made. THERE IS NO 2 DOOR COUPE WITH AWD MADE TODAY!!!YYYY? (excluding audi tt and porche)the 3000gt was amazing but had problems. Anyone know if th new 2008 g35 couple will be awd? Someone has to make a reliable powerful awd coupe.
Sure WRX and EVO are nice but the slick body on a TC is the best headturner.

 

WRX/Evo are Sedans 8]

bahaha
