i have officially started making my car rwd have 75% of the components i need and have only spent about $1000 with about $500 more to spend.

1 rear end from a cadillac catera
1 5 spd tranny from a 1994+ s10
all exhaust and intake piping
all metal for framing
custom drive shaft
custom motor and tranny mounts
custom steering rack
and the mind set to get er done

 

Pictures of said car?

 

If this is real
You win
subd for photos of build

 

hmm... i'll bite..

subd

 

oh and ibtl

 

 

why would this get locked?

 

Subd. If u can pull it off you win the internet sir.

 

sub'd for the fail or greatness............... good luck

 

what ever happend to the other guy who was building a RWD cobalt?

 

Sub'd for wanting to call bs, but hoping it's true. If it is, no one tell VicRedSS

 

Pics or STFU jk jk... but seriously

 

if it works,
he would be heart broken

 

because people will flame unless they see proof and eventually itll blow up and get locked. pics help

 

Subd for pix

 

yeah, im gonna have to ask for you to go ahead and post some pics (in the voice of Bill Lumbergh)

 

Pics of said RWD racecar!

 

sub'd for pics or didnt happen....

 

so how do you already have the proper drive shaft, when nothing is mounted yet

 

when someone pulls this off (specially if you kept it under 2g's) you would pretty much be god of this forum

 

ross shady is the god of this forum.....oh.....ibtl

 

I've seen a RWD cobalt before >.< there's videos of a couple of em float in around ze interwebs

 

Hypothetically, wouldn't it be easier to just swap the motor, trans, etc to the trunk and make it rear engine? You'd have to move the fuel tank and mess with some of the suspension and whatnot, but then you wouldn't have to worry about all the complications of a drivetrain, new tranny, etc, etc.

you're also gonna need a hefty amount of bracing in the rear end to mount the axle. i could see a lot of the metal back there just buckling from not being designed to handle the power being put down back there
