How about a conversion to RWD? f' AWD. With the kind of cash you are droppin' on this, might as well grab a few more grand get a hell car and then add your unique touch. Any updates on how everything is going?

 

[Shane5425]

nice build.. yeah , just find a Totaled ms6 and convert it to awd... with that kind of money being thrown at it..

that would be a little wierd..... a drifting mazdaspeed 3.... eh i guess there is worse

there is worse? how can RWD be worse? we can't really get a high performance AWD in our car. There is no point in putting that bad haldex s***, we still will understeer, the car will still be a little handicapped and its heavier and expensive.

if we could switch it to RWD he will be golden.

I know haldex engineers said that the setup can be made to run a 50/50 all the time, but no one has done it and it is based off a distribution that I havent found.

anyways, its all wishful thinking.

I just dont get why people try to make more power in a FWD car? I cant imagine the car pulling any harder with torque steer. I mean there is some more HP to tap into for fun but at some point you cant use it much, right?

60mph+ rolls

 

[ms3guy22]

Look it was sell my aftermarket parts and buy a stock engine or keep my part buy a forged block for almost the same money. Please tell me what would you do.

 

[Vord]

ignore them. this thread is about your conversion, not why FWD is bad to mod.

 

[stockms3]

Ive never said FWD is bad to mod...........I just threw an idea of RWD cuz it would be pretty cool............I've seen insane FWD cars, if i had the money I would also build my engine!

Keep us updated!

 

[whitey4311]

I suppose the rolling mash of the peddle would be crazy but off the line would take some practice, lol.

I would love to hear how it turns out for you.

i was saying there could be worse......meaning i've seen a lot worse (different) than a RWD MS3.... for example a 70's camaro with like 35 inch tires and some rediculous lift kit.......that was just ugly.

I am sorry but saying worse (although not an incorrect comparison) implies a negative connotation. I think a more proper statement would be, what could be "better" than a RWD MS3. and the reason is that the most power restrictive part on the MS3 is the drivetrain. If get rid of that FWD, our potential is endless.

 

[mrlilguy157]

this is almost as cool as my thread

 

[ms3guy22]

so its been about 5 weeks since my last update, I can tell by the amount of bumps that nobody cares. Any who I'm having a crazy hard time trying to get ahold of a fresh block. That is the only thing i'm wating on, as a matter of fact.
If your wondering where iv'e been I had to go to LDAC for 5 weeks, that why i've been outta the loop.
