Thought some may get a kick out of what I did starting w/ an mx-3. I made a rockcrawler! Drivetrain is a 94 1.6l & auto trans going to a couple of transfercases and then to Chevy Blazer axles. Most people who see it think I'm crazy, but it's served me well for ~2 years of offroading. The mid-engine layout makes for great weight balance offroad.
Sweet!!! man thats gotta be a blast.... every year couple friends and I go into the Pit race at home.. run anything aslong as its gotta roll bar and you have helmets... Its fun as hell.. we usually end up buying a cheap ford ranger or jeep 4x4... cut the exhaust off to the manifold, gut the inside, weld in some tubing for roll cage... and giver....
its fun man.. I always wanted to go in one of thouse rockcrawlers ... love watching "Trucks" on speed when there building thoughs things.. crazy..

It does not provide enuf POWER....!..... by any means. But it does provided enuf torque because all the gears stacked up provides a 210:1 crawl ratio...!
It won't win any drag races, but it'll go over anything you point it at...
I'm new here.....
