Why can't you just stick a driveshaft under it and

>>14061788
Because transverse engine layout.
Now git out.

>>14061789
what makes it transverse

>>14061789
Wrong.
All cars come with a driveshaft but you have to modify the fuses to switch the power input from FWD to RWD

Bullshit!
not Op
But I'll never turn my 5th gen lude into a RWD/AWD car?
Bullshit!
Ultra failed attack!
What the fuck am I going to do? I wanted to become the racer in my Prelude!

>>14061793
Manufacturer designs them that way. Noteable exceptions, are Saab, the Citroen DS and some Audi cars. The Audi longitudinal cars are also available as AWD, so that's pretty easy, just yank the front driveshafts out.

The Saab and the DS are a bit more difficult. You'd also need to put a rear axle in there that can actually transmit power, not the usual dead axle.

>>14061788
My friend unironically tells me to do this to a ford fusion.

"Oh it'll just take an afternoon; you can find a 3.73 rear end in a junkyard and find an old mustang driveshaft and you'll have an AWD car."

Are you implying transverse FR cars don't exist? Because they do.

The fact that the entire fucking engine ins sideways

>Evo IXs donated to the Tokyo Drift production by Mitsubishi were converted to rear-drive drift cars by replacing the differential's output assembly with one that leaves out the splines to drive the front wheels and capping the output holes in the transfer case. The stock transverse-mounted six-speed transmission is left alone, as is the rest of the drivetrain.

HELP
BULLSHIT
ULTRA FAIL

Because you need to custom design an entire rear subframe to house the differential.
Or mate an existing subframe from another car which requires completely redesigning the rear of the unibody and unibody frame rails.

Then you have to find an engine, transmission, and transfer case that will fit. which could require modification to the front subframe, at the very least you will need custom mounts.

Then you have to modify the floor pan and seat boxes for a driveshaft, and probably modify the exhaust system to fit around the driveshaft.

So you're basically stripping a car down to it's bare shell and re-engineering it from the ground up.
Of course it's been done though. There's a good youtube series of a celica gt-4 drivetrain going into a mini. it's been like 3 years and they haven't even started on the loom.

>>14061987
That's not converting, that's just removing the front shafts.

because AWD can't compete.

>>14062120
why does it need all that new shit
that makes no sense

>>14062163
>that makes no sense
it makes no sense because you've never worked on a car and have no understanding of how they work or how they are put together

>>14062176

ok but i need help man
its bullshit
its understeering sack of SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT
