fwd 3sgte

Postby bluemaumau » Fri Nov 25, 2005 5:15 pm

ok i had a QUICK search but cant find nufin.
this is purely out of interest. :idea: :idea: :idea: :arrow:
but you know how a MR2 has the engine in the back and is RWD, blah blah? dosent it basically run a FWD setup just mounted in the back?
so.... would it be possible to do this to a levin/trueno/corolla?
i cant think of any real problems? but correct me....

so.... your question is can you make a levin/corolla etc mid mounted a'la mr2?
why dont you just by an mr2?

it would be stupidly exspensive.... but you could do it.

yes MR2s are basicly a fwd set up moved to the rear

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nice revhead



So you want to out a 3sgte in a levin/trueno to make it go faster but still be fwd eh?

That would probably be quite cool and would go hard.


If you know what you're doing as far as making mounts etc go you could do it yourself. Could be easier with a 3sgte and some form of strong fwd gearbox since the sw20 has no crossmember.

Yea, but that was on Meremere. AKA The Iceskating Rink :D
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.
