^4wd on two engines isn't bad, but with one engine less you could lighten a ton of weight and swtich to 5 speed!! imagine how much weight you save.
plus nothing badder ass then a turbo rwd rear engine setup in a tiburon. i've only seen it done once before. less maintenance. baggage compartment up front, you name it!
great project car, bit tedious. stocker you up for it lol? jk

if i fell into some extra cash-... i'd do something very similar-... that's a huge IF though!
i say do what you can to revive it-... it'll take time but it's not like it's your daily driver-... do what you need to do to make it right!

How is the engine mounting in the rear? If its nice and done how it should be maybe it would make a fun RWD car. But if its kinda hacked then forget about it.
I personally would follow exactly what Cheesebox said. For the most part anyway. What a b**** it seems like though.

So the Dragon Fab tib has two wiring harnesses and two fuse boxes, But what about the ECU(s)?
Does it use two ECUs, or just one?
I'm assuming it still uses the stock ECUs because someone wrote that it uses a piggyback(s) for tuning.

lol dtn, I'll assume it was a joke about the jb weld. lmao.gif
I missed a whole page on the 6th. Yes that was a joke. I don't even know how JB weld holds anything. I've never used it with success. That's why I said use a welder.
What's really wrong with this car? Why do people keep ditching it as soon as they get it?
The only thing that goes through my head when I see the quick ownerships is they see something majorly wrong and unrepairable with the car.
