Does anybody know if there is any type of traction bar for FWD eclipses? I've seen pieces made to go under the engine that brace the from from twisting on a Silvia but didn't know if they made anythign like that for 1G Eclipse?

Let me know

I have a gst and have not found any traction bars for it. The best thing i can tell you is to get strong shocks, good tires, an equal length half shaft and if you have some money a limited slip diff. Thats the best you can do from what i know.

When I had my FWD the best thing tht I found for traction was a transfrer case, a driveshaft and a rear end. It did wonders for me. biggthumpup.gif

How hard and expensive is it to convert a FWD into a AWD?? like time wise... and i know what im doing so my talents go far beyond changing the CD in my car... and About how much and where to get the parts??
AWD DSM 1
Possible? yes. worth it? Not in a million years.

Chassis are completely different, the conversion requires a lot of cutting and fabricating of structural members.

Im up to any challange... How bout ya just sell me the motor out of that gst and ill buy that and the awd body and stuff!! Cuz chances are if i do get that im gunna port match the intake and exhaust and port and polish the head.

well thats why im kinda interested in AWD... cuz if i get a tallon or eclipse runnin over 300hp... im thinking major traction issues!!

from what I've learned once u get that kinda power.

FWD=highway monsters. they weigh less.
AWD=drag strip driveline breakers

guess it depends on what you wanna do with it.
