Custom bolting a awd rear subframe, custom mountpoints for the drive shaft, then an aftermarket fuel cel. Sounds like its more money/time then it's worth...for a 2g none the less. Then there's the issue of smog (if your still in CA?). With all the time and money you dumped into a 6bolt awd RS, or a 4g63 evo4-9 engine awd RS, you could have sold your car, picked up a 95-96 gsx, dropped a fully built 2.4 or 2.1 motor with a nice fat turbo fully supported. It wouldn't be that unique (if thats what you're going for) since awd turbo dsms are everywhere.

Another option would be to maybe keep your RS and pick up a Mirage for 1000. Turn it into a Evo 5 with all the money your thinking of investing. Unique. Fast. And better looking then the 2g.

Just my .02 as it is your project. Good luck either way bro.

im still on the balance beam with my investment here..really leaning towards selling the rs and picking up a 2g gsx (that hasnt been abused and hopefully has under 120k miles, and pretty stock) cuz i honestly would enjoy doing a lot of those mods again like suspension, brakes, shifter, headlights etc. plus it will be much easier to get straight into the turbo and engine work. its just kinda hard to leave the rs behind seeing as i learned a good deal from her. i have some time to decide though cuz im still waiting for insurance to clean my car up from the damage that was done in october when i was rear ended. if i do sell her, i will be keeping my wheels, but thats pretty much it.

any additional comments or thoughts please?
