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!

=(
well thats a tough one...well if they can do it i say go AWD and turn that celi into a true sleeper..

Go AWD. 0Re0, I'm stunned that you found a good shop to do it for you. Congrats! I can't wait to see it.
RWD... if you want AWD...buy an alltrac/gt4...
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.

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

i am awesome
Andason, if you have the power to back it up (3S-GTE), the AWD dead-weight won't matter one bit.
It sounds like you got a bunch of different ideas to think about.... I would be different and go rwd. Just to be different >biggrin.gif> Good luck no matter what you decide to do.
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 >smile.gif>

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
Putang ina trust me! RWD!!! Youll be in all the magazines! You would go through the extra work for RWD! Supra Rear...RWD...Don't forget me when you get on the magazines yea? =P Goooo 6gC! haha

It's actually hard to launch a AWD car. There is a threat of bogging if you don't ride out the clutch, and if you do that, you will be changing out your clutch every year...
