Found this awd kit for our cars, only $650! No welding required, simply bolt the wheel pulleys onto the lug nuts and connect the belt between the front and rear wheel.

Sweet, ...but why does it say "Please refrain from making left or right turns once this kit is installed. To enjoy the added handling benefits of AWD with this kit, is important that the steering wheel remains perfectly centered!"

I'm popular always.
So I found out there are two distinct personalities within my own mind, it explains a lot. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

It also goes by Tuscany? or something like that in other parts of the world. Anyhow, it's a piece just like the Eclipse and its captive import siblings. Terrible reliability with sub-par performance and economy. Honestly if I were to go FWD again it'd be another Celica or the Integra. Maybe the Legend if I felt the need for luxury over sport. I just want another RWD car, and probably against better judgement something domestic if at all possible. I like at least one of everything for the most part. so it's hard to limit myself to only one type of car. Even now there's a tremendous struggle between something like the Miata and Mustang going on inside of me. Both appeal to me in their own way. As much as I love muscle cars even it's a hard decision. Logic says you can make a Miata faster for less than it'd cost to make a Mustang handle. Heart says, but V8 burble and massive torque. Of course those are the more readily available choices with the SC300/Supra and Firebird/Camaro making up the hard to find choices. Decisions, I'm not good at them.

ya really that Hyundai is Korean made, (there's a gangnam style joke in there somewhere), they look neat but idk if they're really all that great.
I'd say Toyota didn't get to be the biggest car company in the world by making cars that are just "pretty", but they are well made. Which is the romantic vision of what Ford was once upon a time. but like I told people when I bought this thing, "Rice is a whole lot cheaper than godamn gasoline." -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

You can look up reviews on them, all kinds of drive-train problems among other things. The Genesis on the other hand is a well put together car.

Just think once they're installed it'll be well worth the wait!

They usually take around a month to be delivered. I'm looking forward to taking mine out.

Everyone else has had great luck with them but for me, they've been the worst thing I've ever done to my car. I'm stuck with them for now but I'll be replacing my control arms and going back to OEM rubber bushings first chance I get. They've ruined my driving experience.

Hey, no reason to be snide with him. He just simply said he didn't like it, it's not like he pissed in your corn flakes. Some people don't like short-throws either, or coil-overs. Just because something is considered by most as an unquestionable upgrade, doesn't mean that it's right for everyone or every situation.
