    ahhh.... so reminds me of my first thread... how can i turn my integra to rwd so i can start to drift... so lucky i didn't get terribly neg repped for that.

    Aight so lemme tell you what everyone told me... because surprisingly they were nice and right - and I might add my 2cents in here as well.

    So you love your car. Your car setup is great the way it is and you love it for that. Just like anything you change with some greatness - it will more than likely break... a lot... or mildly - A lot more than it does now. I don't care what anyone says - even done right - by "professionals" it will not be as reliable as what it is now.

    If you are just starting to drift, how do you know you will fall madly and financially in love with it? If you spend all the money to make your car how you want it and then don't like it then you're stuck with a car - that isn't what you liked in the first place. Not to mention - it will never be fast enough or have exactly the right parts.

    My suggestion... Spend under $2000 (and could be easily under 1000) (a fraction of the cost to convert yours). Get some basic rwd car ie. 240, 911, bmw (i have one... interested?). It doesn't matter if it looks bad/trashy/shit interior/etc. Find out if it's really what you want to do and then if it is, go ahead and convert your car over to rwd.

    and no i don't know how to or where to do a step by step conversion... hope this helps just as much though

    I said the same thing in fewer words.
