yeah, there has been AWD drive swaps and then the two motor setup for AWD..

a cool way to do it would be fab the engine up in the back instead of front to make it RWD.

haha engine in the trunk on a tib would be crazy, you would have one super short exhaust too, that would be alot of work though.

AWD RD1's are from Malaysia somewhere. Their club have the craziest tiburons i've ever seen. by crazy i mean FTO engine swap with AWD... you look at their cars (i think there's 3 or 4 total) and they are the nicest RD1's in the whole world besides the F2 widebody rally kit cars in the United Kingdom.

Theres a couple rd1's overseas that have AWD.

But a member on here not to long ago put an SR20 into an elantra so that was RWD.
