    X2 hence the question mark at the end of my post. Although if this guy had one fabbed up but I highly doubt it. Pics of the undercarriage or it doesn't exist

    The spyder shares the same chassis as the gsx. So it's pretty much a straight up swap with very little welding. It's actually harder to convert a gst into a awd. Then to do this swap.

    No, It was a GST. But the GS can be swapped also.

    No, I have a GST converted to a 7-bolt GSX. But you can do it to a GS.

    Wrong Stygiosracing, I actually need to edit my sig. I just haven't been posting much on here as of late. But the 1g was sold for a decent profit. The car in the pics is a 2g.

    But thanks anyways.

    I've heard about the 3g's having the swap done also. Just have never seen it in person. Would be awesome to see.

    Same as one of the later model galants. I'll have to do my research to find out more about it. But I have been told and have heard you can put the 2g awd system in one of the later year galants. You know, The ones that aren't VR4's.

    I'm not really into meets and stuff. But I would be more then happy to bring it to one so you all can get a closer look at it.

    exactly how was i wrong? i read something in your sig. people do swap 6-bolt blocks for the 7-bolt. i was also simply commenting that i prefer 1g dsm's. i do realize that you have a 2g. sorry if my comments confused you.
