has anyone converted their tib to RWD or AWD?
Hey guys
i know it sounds like a dumb question but i was just curious if anyone has ever converted their tiburon to a RWD or AWD car. My one friend and me were talking about it and now i understand it would be EXTREMELY custom but i just wanted to see if there has been any attempt?

Yes, it involves alot of work
Yes, it involves alot of time
Yes, it involves alot of money
No, it would not be worth it
Take the money, time, and work you would have used to make it AWD/RWD and just dump a small percentage of that amount into the OEM platform and Beta engine and have yourself a sweet car that way.

i am actually getting pretty tired of the front wheel drive thing, and i had thought about doing a conversion for about 2.69 seconds and then realized that it would be a huge waste. you'll never get your money back, you'll have hell the entire time, and it would probably end up giving you problems down the road.
that being said....
i would love to do it if i had unlimited resources. being different is always awesome.
