rear drive saxo?????

[hmuminovic]

this is a crazy idea but would it be good if a saxo could be made into a rear wheel drive? if any of you out there know what would need to be done, please inform me, as i have a cousin which money is no object with a vts and would love to have the worlds first rear wheel drive saxo?

if money is no object then why doesn't he just buy a faster car smileys/smiley5.gif


'easiest' option would be to cut a hole in the boot, remove the whole rear suspension, then 'drop' in basically the front end of saxo eg inner front wings,suspension, engine (obviously) and brakes. take a look at the rear rs turbo engined pug 106, as that's what they did.

there is a saxo out there somewhere that has got a yamaha r1 conversion,that is rear wheel drive.

well that would be pretty easy for him then, putin front of saxo at rear! i'll tell him about it, n hopefully one day i'll witness a rear wheel drive saxo.

n the reason he wants a saxo rear wheel drive is he likes to be unqique, and loves suprising people with the stuff he does on cars.

its been done before with a R1 engine. there was a video of it on here a while ago. smileys/smiley2.gif
why not strip it out, keep the motor in the front and put another in the rear, i seen loads of cars with it done when i used to race in the autocross, mostly astras and novas with 2x1.4 engines. was a rapid one that had 2x2L 16v motors in it smileys/smiley2.gif
