awd or rwd fit?

I noticed that the jdm models come in 1.5 awd form. I was wondering that it might be not to expensive to modify it to rwd without too much$

I would assume so, since you would have to get it imported them put together, also it would prolly be quite slow. Suzuki Aerios come in AWD and have more motor and are VERY slow..

well if u just went for the rwd, it wouldn't be too much heavier. Add some power items and it would be a very great car

I know the motor is layed out the same way as the US fit, so i would believe that the jdm fit awd would be a lot more bolt on than you would assume

its fully assembled in japan and i heard that 2008 fits will be built in america, so the 2007 fits will be the only applicable base for the modification

so in a year when driftable fits are all the rage, these puppies will be worth the ownership
