I would say just get a car that runs and keep it that way, besides you dont even have anywhere to work on a car for a modification like that.

Im not like being an ass just saying. Also what is a DMS? lol I know what you ment

well, you would have to put the engine in the rear and if you want to do that, you might want to just get a gst, because you are going to need that tranny anyway.

It can be done, just take some time. and don't count on putting more to the rear. probably not going to happen, expecially with a longitudinal mounted awd car.

Its possible but its going to cost you some serious cash. I know of someone who did that with an Evo so I know its possible.

typically you would need to turn the engine, get a trans mating plate for a turbo 400 trans or something like that. run the driveshaft back to a 9" ford rear end and voila Pro Outlaw RWD race car. (it's a little more involved but you get the point)

i dont wanna have to move the motor tho. i thought there might be a ugraded tranny n transfer case thatr would allow more power to the rear. and i dont actully wanna drift just to be able to slide the ass around easily. awd would kinda be hard to whip the ass end around id think
