Hi im new to this forum, I have a 95 GS-T that i have had for about 4yrs now and it was a project car that i started but really never got around to building. I was building it for full drag and maybe some auto x. My plans over the year have changed, i first wanted to build the fast and the furious eclipse but ive grown older and just want it to look totally stock, all black. I want to make it into a awd but haven''''t been able to find a rear end for it.( if anyone knows any place were i could find a rear end please let me know).

My current toy that i have is a 05 vw jetta GLI, witch im getting ready to build the motor and and put a gt30 turbo kit and hoping to make 500hp, Daily driven.

So feel free to give me some advice on things too look out for that are weak and also some good shops in the FL area.

trying to get awd out of a GST is impossible without alot of work. However, if you have a spyder then it is alittle more feasible. But if you only have a normal GST then i would forget about it.
 
however if your hell bent on spending your time and money on the swap then here ya go

Yeah AWD in a GST coupe makes things 100x more difficult.

When you say more difficult what do you mean?
And yes its alot of work but i think it would be well worth it in the long run because i will be able to get traction.

Why not just buy a GSX and get great traction?
 
I forget the reason why actually....

Have you done a search on this?  The swap alone w/o labor is at least 3k.

well the reason why im doing this is because i have an gst and at the time i was lookin for one i couldnt find a gsx and i got the car for 2500 witch you cant beat. never was in an accident, just wasnt running because the crank sensor went bad and the guy sold the turbo and exhaust . and ill be doing all the work so it will save me the labor. inless someone here would want to buy it so i can go buy a evo or supra
