I welcome all constructive criticism to the crap ideas I throw around, but saying to just buy a Supra is like the elitists over here who told me "you can't fit a VR4 engine in an FTO, just buy a Legnum." So many of us have proven them wrong now that I just laugh.

Considering that I am good with my hands, money isn't really a problem and I have some very good contacts over here, anything is possible.

Perfectly put. Just because some around here (you know who you are) aren't capable of lateral thinking, doesn't mean you should conform too.

and don't get me wrong, I am here for input. I don't actually listen to the opinions that aren't constructive.

If someone doesn't like the idea, go for it and tell me it's crap, but be sure to TELL ME WHY or else you sound like a tool like the guy in that other thread

That has been thought of many times, but it just isn't cost effective. If bothering with that thanks I would probably just "go with the supra" and keep this SOB as it is

Then again, if I can find an Evo4 rear subframe, Leggy gearbox and AYC Dif for next to nothing (missed out on all that for $200 2 years ago :S ) then I may actually do that...

RWD FTO Skidder FTW

RWD conversion is understandably everyone's wet dream, for obvious reasons.

Unfortunately but, that's all it will likely ever be. Even if you DID manage to get power going through the rear wheels, IMO it would ruin the car's dynamics and balance.

Mitsu designed a beautifully balanced FWD car -> change it to RWD and I doubt you could ever get that balance and handling quite right.

This idea is almost as common as the t-t-turbo idea, do a search and u'll see what I mean (well RWD/AWD)

You are dead right, no doubt it would be the same as a whale VR4 made RWD... dynamics messed to hell.

I would still love to though, and as I said, if I could find the parts cheap enough, I may just make an attempt

:) would be so much fun to find out

how did this get off topic

it started @ Supra kit on FTO's now its about motors and RWD converstions

Every threads ends in this now.

I especially like the ones in the Help section. The one where a failing alternator results in "Just drop a 6A13 in"

Bit like my mechanic, everytime a car has a problem thats gonna be hard to trace, the answer is "Just put a Haltech in"

FWD --> RWD. Has anyone seen the DC2 converted to RWD on youtube? Its a downright mad skidder. And in regards to the bodykit, you thought about getting the wider fenders with vent look?.

i was trying to brainstorm other ideas than a supra kit... its called being proactive
