ORIGINAL: Sebba
the AWD is borderline impossible
The two people that I know of who did it...wouldn't do it again... and don't recommend anyone else try it.

That again brings me to the most common question... why not just buy a VR4?

because i cant afford a vr4 ppl want too much for a decent one so i could get the power of the vr4 fer about 2-3k in tt swap ... u cant find a nice tt fer no 2-3k so why not? besides the awd system has to be xpensive to replace if foresay the transfer case blows out... theres a couple grand... besides fwd is where it is at xpecially when u spank a rwd

you will improve your time at the track, but not by too much. if you want a really fast track car, avr4 swapin a fwdprobably won't help you achieve your goals.it will also put alot of stress on your transmission. at bestit would be abad *** daily driver.you need to decide what you want, a track monster or aquick daily driver.if you want a track monster, get a 1st or 2nd gen gsx and make it run 11's for under $10,000. or put $10,000 into your fwd vr4 3000GT and run 13's-14's.
