rwd on a maxima?

i'll probably get flamed for this, but why don't some people make their maxima's a rear wheel drive? is it too expensive, or something? =)

Ok..OK ill try to answer this "kindly"

1st things 1st, do you actually think that the cost of converting the car to a RWD is really worth it. First of all its going to ba a mojor pain in the @ss to do...second...its stupid. Id rather go buy myself a RWD car then try to convert this thing to RWD and deal with all the bullsh!t after the conversion. Something is bound to go wrong and when it does how are you going to get custom parts for your ride

Ok I guess **** being nice but I know your not serious about this. Dont get me wrong now, im not directing a rant towards you...but the whole concept of converting a maxima to a RWD. Its just not worth it.

So far, Clee130 has been the only member with the time and financial resources to the RWD conversion.


I guess it just takes an inordinate amount of skill, time and money for the average Maxima fanatic.

I had plans to convert my 1992 maxima into a 1300hp rear wheel drive car with a skyline motor but then I didn't win the lottery(I really thought it was my week too, those fortune cookie numbers looked pretty good)

It is expensive to convert, I would rather just buy a G35.

FWD is merely a "flaw."
