Yet anything is possible... If you are really serious, do your homework and calculate the total expenses before you even decide to take the wrench. Its a very expensive project and will require big $$$ pockets, it ain't a cheap project. And unless you have very well deep knowledge and skills with hardcore automotive custom jobs, it won't be a diy project since it aint just a wrench bolt-in parts project. And since you said and I quote "The only way id go through with anything is if i could find cheap parts and do the work myself.", sounds like this type of project aint for you. You better of selling your 420A, and buy a AWD 4G63 and stick with bolt-on performance parts that you can handle...

Ive seen a fair share of diy 4G63 RWD conversions and to be honest they look like crap and don't seem too reliable and safe. There are already a few parts available for 4G63 RWD's conversion and they are really expensive. Your 420A RWD conversion idea would be a first, and a lot more custom parts would be needed than a 4G63 RWD conversion making it even more expensive than a 4G63 RWD conversion.

I know dreaming custom unique projects is great, but be real and truthful to yourself in your 420A RWD conversion idea...

i know the engine makes no torque and there is no way that the economics of it would work out. I could buy a better rwd car for the price it would cost to built up the eclipse. I mean i'm a certified welder with enough automotive knowledge and experience that the project wouldn't scare me. Maybe one day.. who knows if i win the lottery or something And Eclipses are very rare up here in the frozen north.. 2g wernt available here. Every one around was imported from the U.S or Mexico. who would expect a rwd 420a? and i wasnt born yesterday either i know this would take alot of work. But realistically i know i'll probably just drive the car into the ground as it is. But yeah, its nice to dream..

It is a nice dream, but if.I won the lottery, there would be alot more unique cars in my driveway than a RWD eclipse. If you catch my drift .
