1G awd conversion
 

I have a 91 tsi fwd drive and i really want to do an awd conversion to it but im not sure how much its going to cost. I was planning on making a good deal of money this summer and doing the conversion...anyone have any ballpark ideas of how much this would cost?

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

About 8-10k

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

wow ok i think ill wait on that.

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Why not just buy a GSX?

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

x2

Ya, it would be cheaper to just buy one^^

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Would be cheaper to sell that... and buy a 10 sec modded DSM

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

I agree its alot easier to jsut buy a GSX. Especially since it a 1g. You can get those pretty cheap

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

I agree... there's no point in dropping that much money into a car when you can get one for under 4k that runs well w/ mods.

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

You see, here I was gonna make a joke about buying Rons car and doing an engine/drivetrain swap... but I have a dreaded fear that someone may take it seriously...

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

DO IT!! dude, if they actually buy it.. tell them that i only want 12k for it. b/c if they believe that, than they'll believe something as stupid as a 12k GS lol

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

LMAO

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

ITS A STEAL AT $12K!!! Just drop in a 4g63t w/ an AWD set up and youre GOOD TO GO!!

"4g63t swaps are not possible, some or all parts ofthis ad may be misleading."

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

buy it now for 12k, already looks good all you have to do is dropa 4g63t in there but it may be just a tad bit more difficult b/c you have a 3ft long bumper sticking off the front of it... but once you buy that 2k motor, 6k awd conversion kit, another 4k in motor conversion, and another 2k in suporting mods and hell, ur good to go w/ a 210bhp eclipse and it ONLY cost you 26k!!! what a freakin steal man!

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Oddly enough, brand new in 1995 the Mitsu. Eclipse GST was around that price, lol

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

you know, i've always wondered how much they rolled off the showroom floor for... were they that expensive??

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Theyve always been around the same price range... youll find that todays prices on the 4g even, match closely to that of the 2g OTSF

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

well i never knew b/c when the 2g's were no longer made i was still only 12 years old.

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Oh, ha ha ha... Yea, Im old rub it in... echh... you reminded me. lol

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

you know, i never knew there was anybody on this forum until recently over the age of like 22... its really cool to know that older (by older i mean 30+) ppl still like to make cars fast and fun. don't take offense to the "old" comments but i just think it's really cool.

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Nah Im 24... dont worry about it... I just like to bitch about my age. Last I checked until recently I thought I was still like 16... know what I mean?

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

cmon, 24 isnt old, im gonna be 23 in a month

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

no it's not but i do know what you mean dusty... i can't even believe i've already been out of school for 3 years!! good lord and calling myself 20 was a big thing lol i still get carded for rated R movies b/c i'm short and have a baby face if i don't shave so when they ask how old i am i still catch my self saying "i'm nin....... twenty" then they have to ask for my ID b/c i stumbled my words lol

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Wait till you start getting carded for alchohol too, thats fun. And yes i actually have gotten carded for an R rated movie about a year ago :D(when i was still 22). But ive only been out of school for a year because of college, but high school seems so long ago now

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

well i graduated at 17 so it seems longer for me than most of my other graduating class.

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

i turned 20 not too long ago, i mean 1996 i was 9 years old lol. I wasn't even looking at cars then.

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

Tell me about it, Ron... I STILL get carded for that ****, and Im 24, lol.

RE: 1G awd conversion
 

i agree, buy a gsx... I heard you couldnt even do the conversion, on count that it dosnt have the driveshaft tunnel?
