starlet 4wds

Postby adam_ae111 » Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:53 pm

i was just looking at this . http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 73.htm?p=2 and was wondering how well it would go if it had the turbo motor in it and if it would bolt to the 4wd gearbox it has the same non turbo motor as the fwd starlet

I've heard the 4wd system isn't the strongest in them, so boost= bang maybe?

yeah i was thinking that the 4wd would be a bit weak but i guess anything is upgradable it just comes down to is it worth it in the end.

depending how its setup, and how much cash you wanna spend, could always modify some IFS surf front diffs to fit in, would be able to handle a fair bit of abuse too lol :lol:

Not recommended.

Have looked into it, and you are looking at spending $$$$.
