rear wheel drive????
Yeah...i'm with Prophet here....
But you *could* make it RWD....just take the engine from the front, drop it in back, and you'll have a mid-engine monster. It really doesn't cost all that much either, if you can weld then you'll save a load of cash. Swap the front and rear suspension, get rid of A/C, Power steering, everything that drives off the engine. You *can* use the Electric Power Steering system from a 2nd gen MR2...
Of course you've figured out that this whole swap will be easier if you're using an Automatic transmission, but other than that, everything else should be fine. Wiring will be a pain, and figuring out which way you want to run the radiator is gonna be kind of though....But it is very do-able. So there you go....one way to make a RWD DSM.

Yeah, there's a procedure on how to make the AWDs RWD, but i hear it's real risky and can't hold a lot of power. I've only seen one rwd dsm. It was a 1g talon, and the guys center diff locked up and only the rear wheels got power. I saw the video of him doing a burnout, it was pretty cool.
