Wow. I got TWO quick replies in regards to this. Check it.


Hello,

We converted EVO from AWD to RWD for the movie and thought about make it as a kit.

But we found out EVO's powertrain is not strong enough to put all the power to the rear wheels.

RWD EVO works fine for very short period of time but it just wouldn last.

It kept breaking and not suitable for long term street use.

That's why we don't offer that as a conversion kit for consumers.

Thanks.

We did make a few parts, but upon adding any more power than a intake, exhaust and downpipe, we started to break input shafts, so we stopped doing these modification. The other problem was that once this modification was done, you had to purchase a new center diif if you wanted to go back to 4WD.


Best regards,

So, no. They do not make kits due to the drive train being to weak to make it a sound idea.
