German GSX goes RWD

[Dentor]

The front wheel is standing and the rear one turns?!
Correct: I now have a RWD Eclipse

I welded the center diff of my spare EVO III transmission and upgraded to an 300M output shaft.
I also milled some FWD axles to preload the front bearings and plug the transmission exits.
It is amazing how much weight you safe without the front axles

What did you use for 3D scanning the rear bumper?

Also, be careful the rear diff is pretty fragile when people do this rwd mod.

RWD??!! That's awesome man! I love all of the custom parts you are making. Super cool build. There may be less GSXs in
Germany, but that thing would stand out in the US! Great job man!

It is a small hand device called Sense from 3D systems.

Thanks all. My rear isnt OEM aswell. I have DSS custom axles to fit my EVO 8 rear Kaaz 1.5 LSD

Boston 4 point diff mount installed, because i was afraid to rip my diff out of the car with the RWD mod.
You can see the massive DSS EVO Cups

One year no update... what a shame

Anyway, I have finished the project in the meantime.

Here are a few impressions from the last adjustment of the suspension:
