Would it be possible to buy this kit which includes front clip and rear clip and install the rear onto a ST204 GT-S ? Would the rear subframe and gearbox differential fit onto my current frame (if i remove the gaz tank) ? Or it would require major work to the chassis?

And what about the driveshaft?

I searched on the database but mostly found front end conversion... and the only owner of a converted to AWD here that i've found is celiman05 and he havent logged in since august 2008!

im not completely certain but i know that it requires a great amount of welding and fabricating. you have to weld in the rear subframe as it will not just bolt in. which means you need to fabricate some sort of support for the subframe. I know you have to get rid of your stock tank to make room. I saw some guy cut out his spare tire well and get a fuel cell in the trunk.

Not feasable i think unless you do all the work yourself and trust your skill 100%. everything has to line up correctly and the welds have to be strong or it will not be safe to use. Also, if it doesnt line up, it will not ride straight.

hope this helps.


edit: Here is a thread another member has started regarding this build. It might either encourage you, or make you throw the idea off a cliff as i did biggrin.gif
