Hey i was wondering if it's possible (anything is) or worth it to attempt to switch a fwd to an awd. i know you'd have to mess with a lot of stuff but i was just curious.

Actually our racecar was pretty darn modified and none of the parts ever gave out under stress as long as we were running it (it sold earlier this year). Crower cams, Crower springs and retainers, 1.6 L Hyundai head for higher compression, 0.5mm oversize valves, ported and polished head, tubular header, open exhaust after the header, flat top pistons, turbo fuel pump, higher oil pressure mod, no balance shafts, 1G rods and crankshaft, Fidanza lightweight flywheel, Unorthodox Racing pulleys, welded viscous coupling. All that AND making it look stock, what a pain in the rear for a Hornet. But this car repetitively kicked A$$ on the track. Several times coming from last to first in a matter of two laps or less. As far as I know the guy that bought it is still racing it every weekend at Lincoln Speedway.
