does anyone know if there are companies that have a AWD conversion kit for the rx-8 and who thinks it would be worth it?

 

possible but not practical, you probably have to swap out everything including engine and tranny, buying an evo would be cheaper

 

Surely you jest...

 

AWD in a RX-8 would be pointless and take away from the car's driving dynamics.

Get a STi/EVO if that's what you're after.

 

thats true i should have known that since it was built to be rwd it would mess up its 50/50 wieght and some other things. But as far as a sti i would have to say no i love the rx8. i still have my little book from the 04 auto show on the 8 lol

 

You do realize there's alot of fairly large parts that have to fit on the front end to make this possible... Differential, axles, etc... AWD cars are built around this framework... No way an aftermarket kit could accomplish this.

Probably the closest you would ever come to an AWD 8 would be sticking the renesis in an AWD chassis from another car. It may be an interesting idea but it would hardly be an 8.

 

Lolwtfbbq

 

ftw

 

IMO, if you were gonna do that might as well be a 20b anyways...

 

easy, put the front renesis side ways, buy another renesis and tranny, put it in the back, pull both trannies to the front and step on the gas

^ if only roflmao, and team, your not doing it right damn it

its OMGWTFBBQ!!!

lol, I think my version was more accurate for the topic

 

I would like to put two 4-rotor engines in my car, I want it to have 8-wheel drive, weigh under 2000lbs and get 50mpg. I have about 20 bucks to spend. Any suggestions?

 

if you dont' like the gas mileage now guess what awd will do to it

 

why?.......why?

 

Gas mileage will increase as you are more efficiently utilizing your car's power. Wheel spin = gas wasted without moving the car forward. AWD would increase my gas mileage from 7 to at least 9mpg...
