i was told that there was an AWD 1st gen but were there any AWD 2nd and 3rd gen?

 

Google is your friend:

iirc the car used a 323gtx drive train...

The 323 has a transverse layout, no way to fit a rotary that is front to back to the tranny/transaxle.

 

so then hat means that they didnt come factory AWD? i was told that the RZ model was AWD or maybe they used the RZ model i dont remember but anyone school me please

 

Nope, never ever was there a factory sold to the public 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gen AWD. Only custom race set ups. Steve Millen I believe pioneered a P-port all wheel drive 1st gen for Pikes Peak races and maybe Rally. Do a search, the info is out there if you want to know more.

that is almost one of the coolest things ive ever seen

 

it was RODNEY MILLEN, not steve

 

if you guys are looking.... look for the subaru 1.3 RS :P

google rotary impreza... that's something i'll do if i know what they did...

 

There were not any factory AWD 1st, 2nd or third gen RX-7s. This of course can easily be found in the Specifications sticky thread found at the top of this section.

But several people made and raced AWD 2nd gens. Millens was the most famous.

 

I also asked about this and I think the car ended up being bought and abandon. Its sad really

I asked if it was possible for a 4g63 engine and drive train in an FC but they showed me this. I would love to do a rotary AWD and I think in the future I will

Rotary AWD WOW, as if we dont give them enough hell now.

 

AWD rotary powered sports car? why?... unless it is for a specialized application (such as the off road race car) I wouldn't figure the compromise in handling would be worth it?

I am surprised you were not lynched for the suggestion. Just Yuck.

 

yeah well shut up lol

I was just curious

 

The Big red font in his name means respect

 

Yes I know what it means and I also have tons of respect for Icemark. And I did put an lol so I am assuming he will know I was kidding around.

 

Nah... just Yuck... (I have a low opinion of Mitsu product- I have worked on too many of them)

and just because I have my name in red italic letters should not automatically command respect. It just means I was dumb enough to say yes, when other admins and mods above me asked me to help out

 

Icemark you are respected around here. but I also dont think because of the red name we cant joke around

I also hate mitsu but they made a good motor with the 4g63

 

I was trying to be sarcastic lol.

Back on topic, Ive heard that the drivetrain Millen used on his 4WD FC used a Mazda pickup tranny (not REPU). I dont know if the bell housing would mate up, but this makes since to me.
