A donor car and a LOT of work.

Sell your GST and buy a GSX, it will save you a lot of time and money... But if you wanna do the conversion go for it I guess.

 

[kk95gst]

I would say lots of time and money and probably hopes and dreams , I would probably just buy a GSX

We had a member on our board awd swap a gst 2g. He had a donor car and did it in a weekend. I'm not saying its easy but it is alot easier on 2g then a 1g. You have to have some welding skills and a donor car with good drivetrain. O yea, you need money too.

I think the only GST that deserves to get an AWD swap is a 2g GST Spyder.... AWD Spyder = Sexiness..

Sell your current car and buy a gsx = save lost of money.

unless the car has sentimental value to you.

i bought all the stuff i needed for an AWD swap for under a grand... who's to say that its not worth it

and in the end of the day, i can tell you that i have more knowledge of my undercarrage than any of you ..

yes a lot of work and money esp to from a coupe gst to gsx as from what i heard the frames are not as beefy as the gsx so you will have to put some reinforcement's in.... as to what i did buy a donor car gsx no motor for around 500-800 dollars get the tranny rebuilt then do the swap i have a spyder so its a little easier then the coupe since all the holes are there. good luck and keep us posted

That's okay, at least we know it's spelled undercarriage not undercarrage..

Not saying an AWD swap isn't worth it.. By all means AWD > FWD.. But why swap a perfectly good GST to AWD if it's not a Spyder when you can just buy a GSX...

Right .... ...

Anyways, the OP asked what was involved to convert to AWD, not tips on selling his car...

I say read the thread in Post #2 and look around for a donor car, you'd be suprised on how cheap you can find them

I believe there's an ad in the classifieds where someone is selling the complete rear end of a 2g AWD, which is going to be the best to start with...

Closed.

Had the OP searched before starting this thread, all of his questions would have been answered in these two threads:

I find it funny that the guys that have never done the swap say, "don't do it, it's too much work. Buy a GSX". And the guys that have done the swap say, "It was pretty cheap to do, not too difficult. I'd recommend it.".

Hmmm.... I wonder who to believe.
