I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

4WD Ist/Bb

Post by JDMJedi » October 27, 2006

Ok a friend showed me this awesome magazine from Japan. Inside what I assume was a buyers guide of cars, there was my baby in all its glory. As I looked over hat little was in Engrish I noticed that one of the available options was... 4WD!!!! How could you do that to a USDM xA. That would require an engine swap yes???? Is this something "easy", I know we are talking about going FF to 4WD, but is this something conceivable, or something to only dream about??

Any info would be appreciated

from what i understand it is built on the same chasis. they were all built on the echo chasis. so that might make it easier... doubtful but was curious
