Where evey other car is a porche. Everyone has a lexus, SUVs run rampant and lambos and ferraris are a common sight? Im sure that those of you who dont live in sarasota but have visited, you know what i mean. I want to get the SE-R to 13s and at least have a chance with these "Rich spoiled Kiddies". Does anyone know who can do an all-wheel-drive conversion on a 1991? My friend with the awd geo says his dad might not want to do the upgrade cause the geo was such a pain. Any Suggestions, comments, ideas would be appreciated

no, you will never have awd in your b13 (do a search to find out why). And there is already 1 b13 down there in the 13's. 12's if he got slicks

Do a search and find out... it's been covered to death. Nothing is truely "impossible" but it would basically have to be a custom car from the ground up with a lot of "one off" parts. Do you have the time, money, and knowledge to make that happen? If so, and you really want to do that with a B13... I guess more power to you.

I actually really like Sarasota... it's clean, upscale, has the best beaches in the country, and the traffic isn't bad like here in Tampa. Sure it's not a party community and it's a lot slower than Tampa is, but that's just fine with me. I'd love to move to Sarasota... if only there were more good jobs down there in IT.

I would be that 12 sec SE-R if I had slicks. I like Sarasota. All wheel drive thing i don't think is gonna happen. Very much money and time and you need the right resources. Never been done before. Been attempted but never completed. This ? has come up tons of times on this site. But........actually I have all the parts to do it, thanks to everything that came with my GTi-R motor. MUHAHAH!!

ive got a shop that does all-wheel drive conversions right here in sarasota. So fa they have done a Geo storm, and a 240sx. They said it would probably cost around 2-3 grand for a very reliable awd system.
