This company makes RWD conversion for OLD school minis.

Hayabuse motor swapped minis are making high end exotics in Europe look silly. with a 6 speed sequential gear box. and 200hp (mor efun with Turbo). One fo the things i woudl love to do.

The MS3 is great as a FWD. but you dont really need AWD in a FWD car till you are like hitting the 350-400hp mark.

There's a company that does something similar with Smart cars. They're ridiculous and will cut you to pieces in any urban environment or tight roads etc. However, with a wheel base that short it would be terrifying much beyond 100mph. Oh, and if anything larger than a squirrel hits you there could be problems (in the old mini).

wow that is a sick lookin Mini Coupe!!! COUNT ME IN! I want one.

OK, I dig the integra with FWD, but the SRT4 would have been a MUCH better platform as a RWD or AWD car. I wish my car was RWD. SO badly.

That's pretty funny that they're using a sprocket and a chain. That thing is basically a big quad isn't it?
