Hey I was just wondering if anyone knows of an awd car that you can power with a 7m. I just think am awd 7m would be cool! Lol or somekind of awd conversion for the mk3.

I know it will cost a pretty dollar, but I was just wondering if you guys know of anything like that...

Oh Ian, look at the location- Wisconsin. Just a hop, skip, and half a jump away from me. We have this thing called hellawinter with feet and feet of white stuff. AWD ftw my friend!

Best bet would probably use a skyline, Or get skyline drivetrain setup and adapt it to a 7m/mk3 chassis. I know its been done in a mk4.

Friend has a 92 All Trac with i think a 95 All trac motor thing is Beast.

The 7M can be reliable ....... if you don't drive it once you get it working.

Truth in all i have not had any major issues since i did my HG and i run my very very hard.. Just reg maintance and alot of replacing old parts also my stupid mistakes :)

Parts wise there about the same as JZ motors i guess they just seem to break parts more...

Why is that i always see supracentral back up that the 7M is reliable other then BHG problems that can be fixed.. It doesn't seem to be so bad once you get all the hoses/Vaccum replaced.

Although im always worried about every tink or knock or smell that comes across. if i could afford a swap i might but i do love my slow 7M :). I just don't no if its ever running right.

Lol hell ya! You know what I'm talking about!! Lol

I just want some wicked handling around corners! And cause awd is sweet!

Heavy 7M isn't going to make a good handling car. Anything that's AWD that handles well isn't going to fit a 7M.

Try throwing one in a minitruck. Or a 4wd corolla.

Truck, yes. 4wd corolla, hellllllll no. Drivetrain isn't built for it, the car isn't large enough for the 7M, and it's going to handle like shit with a 7M in it...
