manofthehour Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've been pondering the thought of turning a FWD car into a AWD car... Money isn't a problem, I'm just wondering if anyone has thought of this or even done it... Or if this is even possible lol... Any thoughts?

n8ball2013 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 its essentially a drive train swap. granted there is more to it than that but i dont see why it wouldnt be possible. They turn the WRXs into 2wd so they can drive them so why not go the other way.

manofthehour Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yeah but you think it'll be an extreme custom job? Like since it's a FWD I'd need to make room for a drive train in the back so I'd have to cut the gas tank to make room right? Anyway I was thinking about (in the future when I have a different car obvi) doing it to my Camry and putting in a Audi TT engine since they're 4cyl too... And for all the people out there like why? Cause I wanna lol. I'd love to be able to say "hey my Camry can beat your mustang GT" LOL It'd be funny as shit to me and totally worth it. I love doing crazy jobs like that and if I ever do it I'll be sure to post it lol. But it wont be for a few years...

raytard Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 they do it all the time, ever watch rally racing? peugots and ford fiestas dont come in awd, or a sequential shifter, or any of that trick shit they have. Just grab a body, throw an entire awd drivetrain in there, and its basically good. trouble is making/finding stuff that fits.
