Default FWD to AWD?

Hey, just curious on what I need to do a FWD to AWD conversion. Not sure if its posted somewhere or not, I looked a little and the most information I found was people saying "Get a VR4" lol.

I would tell you to buy a VR4 for many reasons, although i did not and understand others not wanting to. However, if you are simply doing this to save some money, you are making the WRONG decision.

There is a write-up linked in my sig (click AWD). I based my conversion very roughly on bobthegreat's write-up, with a few signifigant changes.

Shooter83 is also currently doing his conversion, which is slightly different from mine.

There are many ways to do it, all require alot of time money and most importantly.. effort
