RWD is amazing. You'll never forget the first time you're driving in a powerful RWD car on the highway, you downshift into 3rd, listen to the turbo(s) spool, and the nice feeling as the rear end gets all light and starts to slide out on you like you're e-braking your FWD car in a snowy parking lot

I tell ya what, l love my Honda's but i reallllly miss my 300ZX. That is a car like no other. And it wasn't even that it was extremely fast but it handled like no car i've ever driven. I'd take turn sharp 90's at like 30mph and wouldn't even hear a peep out of the tires and the rear didn't fly out, just stuck to the pavement like it was on rails. Damn i miss that car, if it wasn't for credit card bills.

If you guys want rear drive you can keep your 'ludes and just convert to rear drive. Yes, I know this is an intensive project and not for the faint of heart or light of wallets,.. but it would be worth it!!! I'm working on assembling parts right now. Not sure if I can run an S2000 trans and diff or if it'll be more custom. I have a lathe, mill and bandsaw, so as far as fabricating goes I've got it covered. I'll keep ya'll posted.

That would make a blah(IMO) car alot cooler.
The lude definetly looks like something that should be RWD.

I sold my car 1 year ago for my 240sx. I alread owned the car and then I had a check for 5K sitting in my bank. I was very pumped. But then I went to buy my RB25DET clip and got scamed. Lost it all (3,200). Looking back I wish I would have just turboed the stock KA. I recomend that if you buy and engine make sure you can go pick it up. Or buy from a place with a really good rep. (Heavy throttle) I still love driving the 240 stock (in the snow kicks ***!) I have a skyline GTS LSD with 4:11 gears for 350 it's one of the best mods to do to the car.
