Has anyone done this? i don't know a whole lot about it, and im' just wondering what else would u need, i assume u would need the rear axle of a gt4. what other parts would u need, u already have the drive train if u buy a front clip. i'm just curious as to how much of a hassle this would be, if it's worth it, and cost effective. any info would be awesome, i've just always heard of everyone changing out the drive train and making it fwd.

Talk to Neverstop,He made it AWD at one point.

Hey Psyko, try searching past posts...this topic has been covered alot, so you'll find everything you need to know by searching. Its just kind of a hassel to retype the same replies every time someone asks the question...so please dont take offence to our lack of enthusiasm in reguards to answering this question.

i have the rear diff, axels, drive shaft, etc from an alltrac. they are for sale if you would like to try converting to awd.

I've seen the swap done if you do it yourself it's not that bad
PARTS
1.drive shaft
2.rear end
3.gas tank
4.rear suspen
5.awd trans
6.12-hr labor

Here's a more accurate description.

Do it then brother! We would LOVE to see it done by a member. You would get nothing but major kudos and respect. How long do you think it will take you?

what does the gt4 gas tank look like? does it fit in our usdm 6gc?

i remember at one time someone posted an ebay like to a 6gc converted full to awd and 3sgte. but they used a racing fuel cell not a stock gas tank.

anyone has insite on this?

yeah neverstop said he put a fuel cell in the trunk when he did his.

I know all the best fabricater down here & I takl to a few of them; we planed out every thing. If i get all the parts I will do it. The big guys down here told mewhenI build the 3S-gte it will run better than a worked WRX-STI & EVO-VIII

I saved the post.

https://wfs.bc.edu/melket/Public/Car_stuff/.../eBayISAPI.html

I did get a test drive in it. Really Rough.
Needed a bit of paint work, gridning tires on fenders , loose mirror.
bad driver's front axle. Too bad he at least
didn't clean it up at least. :-(

In fairness, It was Fast. Probably All that mattered.

It was not worth the 12K he was asking IMHO.
To a Real rich Enthusiast, it would have been a
Good Project car.

I actually wish I could have afforded to buy it.
Just needed a bit more work than I, a mere mortal,
could afford.

There is No Reason why he could not have sourced a
JDM ST205, US AllTrac, Camry Alltrac etc tank.
The tank he put in would only take ~9gallons (?)
because he used the stock filling pipe.

Seeing One in person, makes it seem like it is doable. :-)
The trick is, it will never be economical to do it.
I know of at least One Real rhd ST205 Legal in the US.

If I can get the parts I will do that swap.
But the parts are hard is hell to find!

i had the full AWD system for sale...no one wanted to buy it or if they did, the didnt want to pay for shipping...so it ended up just going to the local junk yard.
