It looks very interesting!

Front diff is from WRX also?
You've flipped the diff in the gearbox without problems?
What is the weight of the engine/transmission/front diff?

Keep it going! Cool ride

An AWD 1303 with WRX drivetrain. Now that should be fun. I will be watching this build. Keep the updates rolling in.

Very interesting project! Where did you buy the gearbox conversion kit for use as a rear engine? How much did it cost?

been wiating for someone to try this since the flip kit came on the market. will be watching this with intrest.

I bet a lot of us had dreamed of this before! Been owner of a 2004 STI and 2008 Legacy I can attest the 4WD virtues! Will follow from begining to finish! Also noted that you have a rising custom VW parts bussiness, maybe from your learning you can bring to the market some parts to made this conversion easier!!!

I'm not 100% but I thought that the subbies favored the rear wheels, which now is the front. I think its going to be a front bias system

A centre diff controller should fix that. But i'm not sure how much power that will allow you to send to the front (now rear) diff, a 50/50 split may be all it would give?
AWDVW Awesome!
I plan on using one of the reverse cut ring and pinions in a sti 5 speed box in my 69. Sti powered offcourse

[F4P]

hello if i'm right the subby was 48-52 or 50-50 front rear .. so i'ts ok for me
