Fwd to Awd help please

Has anyone out there done a Fwd to an Awd swap on their 1g eclipse. If so any suggestions.

Suggestion, yeah, sell the FWD and buy an AWD. Anything other than that is a waste of time and money.

:iagree: it would really be a big waste of money

I know it would be a waste but i have to much custom stuff done to the body of my car so i cant just buy a gsx. I dont want to start from scratch again. This is why i want the expensive swap.

unless you have over $15k in the body it's still not worth it.

i'm going to do that swap in a 2g i had a tsi awd now totaled and i bought a gs-t i'm going to swap the engine and tranny and the hole awd system. if you are allready doing it just let me know how hard is it cause i'm just starting taking out the enine and tranny of the tsi

A 1G and 2G are different when it come to this swap. A 2G is cake becasue the car body and frame are exactly the same so it is just a matter of haveing the AWD parts to do it.

On a 1G the frame and body themselves are different so it can not be done unless you put an ASS LOAD of money into it. The other option is to switch the rear portion (I mean entire car) of an AWD car and fit it to a FWD car. Have fun waisting money and pulling out hair.

you can move all your body panels except for possibly the rear quarter panels. just swap the doors, front fenders, hood, bumpers, side skirts, etc onto an awd

oh you also can't move your roof but if you havea roof scoop on a eclipse you should be beat with a baseball bat lol

if youre gonna do awd...STOP!!! you should do rwd....personally id rather have rwd....i like shit out of control and fish tailing everywhere

either way its gonna be a pain in the ass! say bye to a lot of paychecks!

haha... an eclipse drift car would be nice.
