Should I go AWD, RWD or just stay FWD? Just found a shop that would really do it for me. It is the same shop that converted this Mirage into a AWD platform EVO V . Before making any decision, I want to know whats everyone's thought on this idea!

if you want to go RWD do something really cool like put in a SR20det and s15 6spd tranny and the rear end parts from a 240 to make it RWD.
that would be amazing. if not, go AWD. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

<dream> Don't even need to do that... although that will work too... Get a st205 rear-end, diff (re-geared for RWD probably) and driveshaft, convert over, and run a Beams 3sge Altezza tranny (5 speed LSD, and i think 6 speed LSD)... that way you can use any toyota 'S' series motor or even a 1mzfe...;] </dream> |

go rear wheel drive. It's too hard to launch a awd car. plus, your clutch will pay more if it's awd. RWD is the way to go.

OReO mate, Don't go RWD. If you want to do that get a supra.
My Vote is AWD or FWD. |

I guess it depends on your goals. If your looking for a fast car go RWD. If your looking for a quick car go AWD

Andason, if you have the power to back it up (3S-GTE), the AWD dead-weight won't matter one bit.

no front engine rwd car has a differential in the tranny, so it would depend on the rear end you use if you end up with lsd or not. jayi12-15psi, i know its more expensive and a crazy idea but it is possible and would be an amazing sight. it would probably cost as much as an AWD conversion but to have a rwd 6gc would be awesome and unique the sr20det and 3sgte are both great engines and have the same potential. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

yes, but you would have to use a takoma engine and drive train... or an AE-86 or something...
I guess you could always have somebody custom build a transmission for about eight grand though

Everyone has good ideas, but I would go AWD.
1. Take off's are better with AWD. 2. If you're into drifting, ( I am) then you can drift with AWD or RWD. I would prefer the AWD. You have the ability to take off fast, and i believe there's a way to controll how much play your rear wheels and front wheels get on a AWD system. Besides, look at the skyline and evo7. They're both AWD and great driftin cars. 3.It's most likely gonna cost you a lot more money to make it RWD just because of the fact that there's gonna be a lot more work involved. But hey, either one is good, just make sure you think it through |
