Awd Rx-7

OK I guess I'd have to redesign the front end, but what's the big deal with that? I mean it has obviously been done already. How can U look at a photo & say someone can't do something? It was a photo of something already done. Just seems a little condescending. For sure it would be a great undertaking & definitely not for the inexperienced, but that does not detract from the awesomeness of the end product. How about some lofty hard-to-reach goal? Surely a AWD 20B would fit that Bill? Did U see the 20B with the Whipple Supercharger on it? I thought that was awesome. anyway... some USEFUL information about the AWD setup would be helpful to some of us dreamers out here.

Well thanx 4 the info. I guess I'll just get a #$%@ truck to go muddin' with. I will totally forget about a RX7 4-wheelin' setup. I wonder where we would be if everyone had this defeatist attitude? I just drool at the thought of a whipple-charged 20B with an air-bagged adjustable height suspension and wide-body kit & some huge wheels & tires. I guess it would need a whole new tube-frame chassis and some real heavy duty components. Sounds like a rally car or something like Speed Racer's Mach5.

Not alot of rocks down here in Florida... lotsa mud & sand though. We go muddin' in the winter & boating in the summer. I guess the guys with their modified lawn tractors will still outrun my "7" thats stuck in ruts. Just thought it would be great to hit a button & get some more ground clearance for off-road & still be street worthy as well. Maybe I'll just turn the @#%$ thing into an amphibious craft instead, or maybe both.

Thought i would resurrect this thread..
I just think this is a very cool concept, which has been proven to work.. how come this isn't seen more often?
I mean, its a decent amount of work, but its absolutely doable..
maybe i should undertake this after the pp is done :rollseyes:
anyways, lets hear some input.

So does any one have any idea what ifs And what tranny that is. I was going to tube frame the rx7 sa with a IRS or build a rotory rat rod trck any ways down the road. so I figure it's would be a fun project to do this over the next 10 years.
Since the tranny has two sticks would that make it like a 4x4 trans no big deal. I know ur not spose to run them in 4x4 mode at high speeds unless there moded.
I was thinking maybe I could stick wrx trans in the sa but the motor would be in my bumber tho. I've seen a wrx with a rotory motor so I know the motor and trans can work.
