yea but its a lot of money... wouldnt suggest it, maybe if you found a smashed up GSX for really cheap with only the transmission and drivetrain still good, and do all the work yourself, but its gunna be a pain in the ass let a lone you could have a lot of problems with it.

The only poeple I would trust with this work, are those who have done it before. That means Road Race Engineering ;) And it has to be a spyder in order to have enough of themounting points in the rear to make it work. The rest have to be fabricated. Its a mess, but its been done. And you pretty much need a cage to keep the AWD from twisting the convertable into a pretzel ;)

making a Spyder AWD is much more practical than a GST, as it shares many more parts, important parts.

Yes, there is a very easy way to do this.

Go to your local dealership and trade them your GS-T for a GSX, same year, make and model and viola! You're all set.

Trust me, I debated stuff like this, including changing automatic to standard and trust me, it ain't worth it in the end. Trade the car-in and save your money for an upgrade instead of a side-grade.

The car looks good, but for the love of God dont put that bodykit on.

Plus I have over 300K Km on my TSi
