AWD info

[myfirstyota]

Seriously guys. Is this possible?

I have no issues cutting up the floor, making custom parts, or welding them all up after.

I'm looking to turn my lifted blue 2008 hatchback into an awd snow monster.

I know there was a first gen awd, but it doesnt look like those suspension parts will fit.

I'm looking to keep this a manual transmission.

Ether powered by a 1nz or 2zr. I dont want to deal with cable throttles and engine management.

I can only assume a rav4 would be the most practical choice for a rear differential. Its plentiful and easy to get.

I'm gonna have to fabricate a differential mount, which would be pretty straightforward, no sense in going there.

Anyone have any thoughts on rear suspension?

Anyone know if an older rav4 transmission will bolt up to a 1nz or 2zr engine?

All thoughts and opinions welcome.
