ORIGINAL: toyolla86

[JEFF]ok first off . i dont like EEEEEEVOOOOS. i hate em. i would get an sti way before i ever touched an eeevoooo.

[bondga] second... dude who doesnt know **** about anything but honda engines. jdm engines are not all set up for
front wheel drive only. you are straight up stupid homie. there are plenty of FR (FRONT ENGINE REAR WHEEL
DRIVE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT TO) engines out there, where i would simply take
the quattro system out. i dont need awd and i especially dont need fwd. so that long *** book you wrote
about me swapping it to front wheel drive was pointless. go away. 1d1ots shouldnt be allowed to open their
mouths. besides i only said i was gonna do that to get a rise outta all you german fanatics. and it worked..
to the point that you said some really ignorant things. and yes it could be done, and probably for a lot cheaper
than you think. for example i just found a complete k20 engine, ecu, harness, and tranny for 2700. if the tranny doesnt
clear then you make it clear. you obviously have never done nor seen any big projects like this. and i hate repeating
myself but i already said earlier that i would make sure everything has proper clearance. duh. the only thing that
would cost me a lot is fabricating the motor mounts, tranny crossmember, and drive shaft. which all can be done
quite easily. you just have to know the right people.
the only thing i serioulsy see being hard is the shifter, clutch pedal, master cylinder and slave cylinder. all the
radiator hoses would be pretty easy to make them line up too. fuel line can be bent. steel braided would work
fine too. basicly dude youre a dumba55.

the way you talk i tend to think that you dont know much about the car scene these days.
quite frankly you probably dont really know much about cars period.

you dont say...honda owns acura. oh wow. this is a huge shock. no **** honda owns acura. you want me to tell
you all the companies that own each other or talk about whats here. and yes i would do all the work myself.
saving that 10K that "YOU" would waste paying someone like me to do the job that you arent smart enough for.
well you call me stupid but lets look at your intellegence. No engine is design to be front or rear, it is design to creat power. the front or rear is determined by the transmition moron. plus in order to put a motor with a front mount transmition and make it rear wheel drive you would have to find a rear transmition that fit if not build one. also you would have to rearange the rear end because the transfer case on your quattro is incredably small and designed to work with that transmition. honestly i don't care if you do the swap. If you got teh G's then more power to you. But its gonna cost at least 10k if not more. and basically dude you don't know **** about me so i would get some knowledge before you go clling people dumbasses.

And and AUDI isn't to heavy an M3 weights over 3100lbs and they are remarkable fast.

naw im good
he's just not getting what im tryin to say.


i wouldnt be using a front wheel drive engine. its all inline. in series.
the engine would be setup just like one thats already in there.
and the tranny would come with that engine that i bought. it would
all come as once package. when you do a swap you get everything
off the original car that you need. so no transfer case or anything
crazy like that. just engine straight to tranny to driveshaft to rear end.
thats why i said i would use the sr20. its already like that. or the
f20 outta the s2000. which is also like that.

ok this is the last of this conversation for me dude.

reguardless we need weight reduction
