LOTS of custom work, would be way easier if you had a rwd car.... do you know how to really drift?

you can weld the center diff and use the inner joints of the front CVs to plug the trans, and the outers to hold the bearings together. it works, not saying its the best way but if you just gonna drift it and tear it to hell thats all you need. i drove mine that way for a few weeks just for fun.

the evo in tokyo drift was RWD. the conversion is expensive and a long process. Buschar Racing sells most parts that you need for the conversion at www.buscharracing.com it's not cheap either... close to 2k just for parts and whatever else you need.

yes you CAN drift with AWD but its a handfull and you gotta have the power to do it, i can only do it in the rain with my car and its still more of a handfull than it should be.
i tried it on dry pavement quite a few times and the motor just wont keep it in a slide

before i sold it i used to think about it all the time, but then i remembered. Damn, i am driving one of the most unreliable cars ever made...Do i really want to be high revving, fast stoppin,and clutch poppin all the time? not with a dsm.
