Subaru STi and Misubishi EVO are both AWD and lots of hp. Theoretically you could lock the center diff and drive only the fronts.

a scooby would be a good choice, due to the short flatness of the engine! assuming that you can make it a reliable 2wd. The old ones came as 2wd, in the 1.6 impreza. anyone know if the box is the same strength as the better ones?

Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

Any idea where you got that picture of the BMW/Audi from? I'd like to know more about it.

a search for transaxle shouldn't provide too many results so it should be quite easy to find.

I tried to find it but came up with nothing. Did anyone find it?
