    AWD conversion.. Is this even possible?

    Is it even possible to make our model AWD (without drowning ourselves in endless money pit)?

    I heard people talking about it a long time ago, and perhaps there are even one or two Galants running around with AWD conversion done?

    theres a thread on this and i dont think anyone is awd yet closest i think is cali since hes got the rear end and tranny but as far as ive heard its a lot of custom modification and if you cant do it yourself id say you'd prolly end up spending a small fortune on it.

    So our best bet is getting a limited slip differential?

    LOL

    Thats because there havent been any storms or other events which would require increased insurance company staff. I actually had a really good time when I was in Houston those two times.

    You will need some parts from a 2nd Gen GSX (think rear end, gas tank, etc...)

    Also the front subframe needs to be modified/custom built to clear the T-Case and driveshaft.
