Drove 6 hours with a friend to buy a 16G VR4... It's FAST!

Decided to do awe conversion.... so single Turbo awd sl

LMAO. I hope you realize that that AWD rear end and driveshaft arent even half of what you need. And paying $300 just for that, you are getting ripped off.

i paid $900 shipped for a COMPLETE rear-end, and i think i got a great deal on it. calipers, rotors, struts, differential, axles, ALL there. INCLUDING the mounts cut from the frame.

if you're paying only $300 for "everything you need", either the dude is brain-dead, or you're getting hosed.

for the love of god, sell the car & buy a vr4. you are about to open a can of PAIN that you haven't even begun to grasp. trust me. just get a vr4. it's not worth it. vr4's (1g's especially) are piss cheap these days.

Mounts that I have to weld on, drive shaft, subframe, diff, control arms, shocks, axles, hubs, rotors and calipers.. as far as I understand all I'm missing is transmission and tcase which eill come eith my new motor and I think I remember a mount having to be changed in engine bay 300$ that's pretty reasonable to me for that stuff

you're not listening. even IF you can find all that stuff for $300, it's probably in shit condition. then you've got the cost of the transmission/t-case. then you've got the cost of turbocharging. and the cost of your "i want a 99 vr4" shit. sell the car NOW. buy a fucking vr4. you haven't even had the car that long. you're not attached to it. not like me an paul. i had my car 7 years before AWD converting it. paul had his for nearly as long.

sell your car. buy a 2g vr4; even a piss cheap one. you'll be way better off. you'll also discover they're moneypits & expensive to maintain--way WAY more than your broke-ass "i can't even afford current tags" tuckas can pay for. and if you think THAT'S bad; it's STILL nothing compared to the asspain of a conversion.

Cost of motor and transfer with tcase n Ecu will be 1000. Still cheaper then buying a vr4. U can't find a healthy vr4 for under 3500-4000 where I live. The labor part I'm not worried about. With the right tools it wont be that bad at all. I have access to full shop and lifts

I appreciate u looking out for me but letme waste my money and worry about what's a lot of work or not
