progress update; no progress looks like subarugears.com is the only way to do it check this out http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/vie...er=asc&start=0 that link is close to what i had in mind just in a rail frame how ever im still looking for a cheaper way to build it looking for a ring gear that is the same amount of teeth and same pitch just revers angle i may resort to the same path as todd of subarugears.com and have it made but only the ring gear this has potential to be a little weaker than subarugears.com 's parts but not by much i think. they are running the rear diff in the front just flipped over no mods to the internals at all

this is more or less what i had in mind more power and bigger tilres

sorry some of my pics wont upload this is first mock up

i know exactly what i want. however no one else has done it yet. . im just going to hafta be the first that dose it, have a feeling it will be copied many times once i work out all the bug for every one else 1) if i had 1500$ + shipping. i would just buy a set of gears from subarugears.com and run a subaru engine and have done with it. 2)if some one had already worked out how to make a subaru engine run backward's with parts that are easy to hand it would be built 3)if syncro where all over the place ide use that and a adapter plate and a pinto engine or bus trany where cheaper ide build what my last buggy was a .091 trans and pinto engine or maybe subaru

found this wail googling http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/212503-rear-engine-buggy-tech-2.html#post17834322

p.s. replicated not duplicated (there only one)

ill keep it simple you can say built NOT bought money cant buy pride

ok so subrise hooked it up with allot of the parts. im going to need, but found my first few problems, the steering knuckle wont work so i need something from a different car. i need a list of where to start. so i went on to rockauto.com looked up a front wheel bearing for a 88 gl. this is what i got all these cars take the same bearing now i just hafta find the one that has upper and lower control arms and fit the sub hub into it ALFA ROMEO SPIDER (1969 - 1994) DODGE 2000 GTX 1989 DODGE COLT (1988 - 1994) DODGE COLT 100 DL (1989 - 1991) DODGE COLT 100 E (1989 - 1992) DODGE COLT 100 LX (1989 - 1990) DODGE COLT 200 DL (1989 - 1990) DODGE COLT 200 E (1989 - 1992) DODGE COLT 200 GT (1991 - 1992) DODGE COLT 200 LX 1989 DODGE COLT DL (1987 - 1990) DODGE COLT E (1987 - 1989) DODGE COLT GL (1990 - 1992) DODGE COLT GT (1989 - 1990) DODGE COLT PREMIER (1987 - 1988) DODGE COLT SE 1992 DODGE COLT VISTA (1987 - 1991) EAGLE 2000 GTX (1991 - 1993) EAGLE SUMMIT (1989 - 1996) EAGLE TALON (1990 - 1994) EAGLE VISTA (1989 - 1991) FORD COURIER (1972 - 1982) HYUNDAI ELANTRA (1992 - 1998) HYUNDAI EXCEL (1986 - 1994) HYUNDAI PONY (1986 - 1987) HYUNDAI SCOUPE (1991 - 1992) HYUNDAI SONATA (1989 - 1998) HYUNDAI STELLAR (1986 - 1987) MAZDA B1600 (1972 - 1976) MAZDA B1800 (1977 - 1978) MAZDA B2000 (1979 - 1984) MAZDA B2200 (1982 - 1984) MAZDA ROTARY PICKUP (1974 - 1977) MITSUBISHI CORDIA (1984 - 1988) MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE (1996 - 1997) MITSUBISHI MIRAGE (1985 - 1996) MITSUBISHI PRECIS (1987 - 1993) MITSUBISHI TREDIA (1984 - 1988) NISSAN 200SX (1977 - 1982) NISSAN 210 (1979 - 1982) NISSAN 240Z (1971 - 1973) NISSAN 260Z (1974 - 1975) NISSAN 280Z (1975 - 1978) NISSAN 280ZX (1979 - 1982) NISSAN 310 (1979 - 1982) NISSAN 410 (1963 - 1965) NISSAN 411 (1963 - 1967) NISSAN 510 (1971 - 1981) NISSAN 520 PICKUP (1965 - 1968) NISSAN 521 PICKUP (1969 - 1972) NISSAN 610 (1973 - 1976) NISSAN 620 PICKUP (1972 - 1979) NISSAN 710 (1974 - 1977) NISSAN 720 PICKUP (1980 - 1982) NISSAN 810 (1977 - 1981) NISSAN B210 (1974 - 1978) NISSAN F10 (1976 - 1978) NISSAN MAXIMA 1982 NISSAN SENTRA 1982 NISSAN STANZA 1982 PLYMOUTH COLT (1988 - 1994) PLYMOUTH COLT 100 1990 PLYMOUTH COLT 100 DL (1989 - 1991) PLYMOUTH COLT 100 E (1989 - 1992) PLYMOUTH COLT 100 LX (1989 - 1990) PLYMOUTH COLT 200 DL (1989 - 1990) PLYMOUTH COLT 200 E (1989 - 1992) PLYMOUTH COLT 200 GT (1991 - 1992) PLYMOUTH COLT 200 LX 1989 PLYMOUTH COLT 4X4 1992 PLYMOUTH COLT DL (1985 - 1990) PLYMOUTH COLT E (1985 - 1989) PLYMOUTH COLT GL (1990 - 1992) PLYMOUTH COLT GT (1989 - 1990) PLYMOUTH COLT PREMIER (1985 - 1988) PLYMOUTH COLT VISTA (1985 - 1992) PLYMOUTH COLT VISTA SE 1992 PLYMOUTH LASER (1990 - 1994) PORSCHE 356A (1956 - 1958) PORSCHE 356B (1960 - 1963) RENAULT CARAVELLE (1965 - 1966) RENAULT DAUPHINE (1965 - 1966) RENAULT R10 (1967 - 1971) RENAULT R12 1971 RENAULT R16 (1969 - 1971) RENAULT R8 (1965 - 1966) SUBARU DL (1974 - 1989) SUBARU FE 1979 SUBARU GF (1975 - 1979) SUBARU GL (1985 - 1989) SUBARU GL-10 (1985 - 1989) SUBARU GLF (1980 - 1982) SUBARU JUSTY (1988 - 1994) SUBARU LOYALE (1990 - 1993) SUBARU STANDARD (1976 - 1987) SUBARU XT (1985 - 1987) TOYOTA LAND CRUISER (1969 - 1975)

wanting to build a rear engine buggy need to learn some before i get started first other than subarugears.com any other way to make a subaru trans go backwards? flipping over like vw ? what is the best subaru transmission to build a 4x4 rear engine buggy gl/loyal/legacy/impreza? i dont need a 5 speed 4speed is fine ok and now for the lil tid bit to make every one hate me rather than spend money i dont have 2 subarugears.com i was thinking of putting a ..... (sorry!) honda engine to the subaru trans because they run counterclockwise and subaru run clockwise then i still need to mount the subaru diff and suspension into a sandrail So how long u think the diff will last running backwards? Will the gears fail being turned backwards? so looks like im going to be running a L series hi lo 4 speed from subruise and am getting tone of help on this from him
