Hey guys, looking to make a awd rear engined car by flipping the engine into the back. Is it possible to do such a thing with the eclipse gsx? would that just be switching the differential some how.....any help would be appreciated...thanks. need technical advice not statements like "get a fiero" thanks..

Why? What are you trying to do? It'll probably take too much time and money to do it, I dont think it would be worth it?

ya know you guys always **** on peoples crazy ideas on here yet when someone does it your all amazed.
your a little screwed for a transmission to spin it all around backwards, but maybe you could use it in the car the normal way then put a transfer box on the back of the t-case to run the driveshaft back to the front of the car.... that will reverse the direction then use a regular rear diff up there fliupped around, but dont expect it to last forever turning it backwards.

People who like drifting, a lot of people have converted their cars to rwd.
