Hello, I was wondering about how much it costs for parts and labor to convert my car over to all wheel drive. Also if that means I will need the 3s-gte engine swap/transmission to handle it?

id say at least $20,000 could be wrong

Wow, for that much Miswell get a new car ehh? lol

The AWD parts you can get from me, Trans, axles, driveshafts, rear diff, etc will run you 1800 shipped. A GEN3 3sgte will run you 2400 with free shipping to your door.

If bought together, you can save some money. Everything together will run you 3800 with free shipping to your door. Then you will need to find a competent mechanic who is wiling to take him time and read the wealth of information on this site about swapping to a 3sgte. Then you need to bring in a guy who does frame repair and show him where he needs to weld you up some subframes for the rear. Once the subframes are made and welded into the car,,,you can basically bolt the AWD stuff in. You will have some more fabrication work such as cutting out the spare tire well in the back, running a fuel cell, or ST165/185/205 gas tank, extending brake lines, and welding in some drive shaft support brackets,

It is possible, but you need someone with a good head on his shoulders, and someone you can trust, I hope this helps.

yeah and you have a coupe never seen an awd coupe only done on hatches id love to have my coupe awd but aint gonna happen...

^^^^^

damn i don't think you would gain anything form a 5s being awd other than gaining a second onto your 1/4mile time lol


agreed

im sure the car would be slower with the added weight and stress on the engine

Pay me 10k n its done

parts included?

Well I just picked this car up for 2,200$ stuck 1,400$ in it and still have another 1200$ to go before its all clean. I'll have to wait till next summer before I think about AWD. I live in Wisconsin so 4wd sounds appealing for snow.

New: Oil Change, Alternator/Power Steering/Timing Belt, Water Pump, Valve Gasket, Drilled/Slotted Rotors, Red Caliper Paint, DEH-P7200HD Pioneer Head unit, 4 6.5inch Pioneer 3 ways

Ok 10,200 I rather pay jim n even 4k

^^^ Who is better then this guy....NOBODY!

could you use the sub frame out of 5th gen all trac?

u probably could... but ima say no since they are different sizes could be wrong though try it and let us know lol

would you be able to ship over an entire rear subframe off a gt4. That way the guys in the USA have a way to make a OEM specification jig for the awd parts.

not gonna lie if i wanted a legal and fast AWD car painlessly and less time consuming to attain and i live in the US

id go buy me a subaru ...not to knock on anything but its hot out of the package with potential without the cutting and welding

if your on a budget and want a awd car with heat and dont mind age ... the early 90's all tracs are awesome sorta hard to find..

More than you can afford pal. Ferrari.
