Wink My 4 wheel drive FD!

haha... ok, so it's not. It could pass for one now though. I jsut put some 18X8.5 and 18.9.5 Enkei RP01's (both 45mm ofset)on it with 255/35 and 285/30 so3's. It's a sweet setup, but currently my car has a stripped interior, no exhaust, driveshaft, ppf, so it is riding a little high. Calling Ground Control... help!

Ah, crap. I've got to copy pics out to a webpage to attach them... grr.

I'd love to get more info on that 4WD FC. So many mods in that sucker it looks crazy.

20B powerplant and a monster single turbo with what looks like a tubeframe chassis. That engine sits way back and I too am curious about transmission/transaxle and what differentials they used.

AWD FC with big power would eat many cars alive .
