very hard and very expensive. its been done with everything from a gtr but by the time you have done it you could probably have bought a gtr any way. definitely not worth it for the benefits imo.

My opintion is to leave it RWD and just spend all that money that you were going to spend 4WD it on the car! Anyway 4WD drain's more power! You can get good time's with RWD aswell! If you have money to waste yeah do it !. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Unless you have bucket loads and crazy I think 4WD would be just a little over the top too.

It's all been done before. Lotsa money but it's still a VL.
