I guess if you really wanted to go through all of the fabrication to convert to rear wheel drive.But you will be in it for $30k minimum unless you have all of the equipment required,then you will be in it for about $15k......You can buy a RX8 for that used.......

But if you have all that kind of disposable cash to throw out on a 6.......


My personal opinion is that you should put the pipe down as it is burning the flesh off your hands right now...

Next to impossible to get right now.........Give it a year or two and then you can get one a little easier.
