Where in Ohio are you from?

lance,....heres a few things just so you know....
the USDM celica has none of the rear mounting points the JDM celica does.
lagos and i both checked before he did his swap.
the 5th gen alltrac suspension wont work. again, see above.
you'll need a rear cut of a ST-205 to even THINK about attempting this.
can it be done? oh hell yea..with a BOAT load of money, time, and know how.
there is TONS of info out there about this, it has been debated MANY times, you just gotta be patient and keep searching.
like i said in your other post, unless your a MASTER welder, with engineering ability, and have somewhere in the nieborhood of 10-15k to dump into your celica, i wouldnt bother trying.
with that said, good luck! >>

if we all keep shooting down everyone who gets this AWD bug, then we will never see anyone do it.

converting at fwd celica is possible and has been done by at least 2 people that we know of. its not easy tho and would require welding skills.

here are pics of the st205 awd system:
