AWD Options

[fastcelica20]

Okay I have read many threads and im still confused. i've talked to baddica about his awd stuff he has. here are some pictures he sent me:







i was reading celiman05's thread about his awd conversion and he doesn't state how he did it. i will not be doing it because my cousin is helping me. he is great at fabricating and welding. but im not sure if baddica has all the stuff needed. someone help me out on things that are needed. YEs i do have the finances to do this. since baddica lives near me i could just scoop up his awd conversion stuff. well help me out. im very interested in doing this.

11K for the setup might sound right depending on what route you decide to go. Honestly my car would be a great candidate for it if I decide to keep my car and not sell it. I keep on thinking this winter I should try it. I already have the e153 tranny. I could easily get a awd e153 swap that over. I have the front of the car figured out. I keep looking at it when its up on the lift thinking of possibilities and how I would do it. Im not very good at fab but my buddy is who owns a shop http://1st-try.com. He says the driveshaft wouldnt be to hard to do. Just re do the floor pan and pop a drive shaft there. And the last part would be the gas tank/rear end.

Im thinking if it works out....
trade my fwd e153 for a awd e153.. If I cant trade ill always ell it and get a awd one back
already have new spec 3 clutch / fid flywheel...

Custom driveshaft
Floor pan....
Drop tank make a fuel cell in the trunk
I would need all rear suspension / rear end from a gt4.

Im wondering if all rear end parts from a usdm alltrac would work or not?

Im not sure I have to do alittle more research. But if I do decide on keeping my car and I could do some more work on it before winter hits... head work plus I wanted to do a turbo upgrade with an awd swap I could put down some pretty good track #s as well as having a unique car....

Theres no real writeup on it. I have the first part of the car figured out heh.. almost like I have 33% of it figured out and that tranny was A pain to get on the car!!! If someone had a writeup like celimans dad had one I would prolly be more daring. But Im not sure if I would want to go through the headache of doing it.
