Did you use the typhoon frame or just transfer stuff over? If so did you have to widen it?

Rear wheel drive is faster than allwheel drive at the track You dont see dragsters with all wheel drive cuz they dont need it. All wheel drive cars like an eclipse actually converted to rear wheel so he could run faster times. I believe his name Is OhSoFast. Fastest eclipse at one point i dont know if he still is anymore. The allwheel drive however would be bada@# at an autocross event if you had the suspension setup properly! I also agree that the driveshaft is in the way. Just my 2cents but awesome project guys

Have you made sure that the body will fit?? especially the seat area is reason for concern with the transfer case there..the seats are pretty narrow on a c3 and they are located at the narrowest part of the transmission -> the tailshaft and the driveshaft. You have the transfer case there...it may be a problem.

He said the track surface sucks, not very smooth, hence the choice for all wheel drive

This is awesome!!!!!
I wanted to do this with a C4, but have no idea how possible this is.
I was thinking to move the transfer case over to the passenger side, and cut the floor board to make room for the Dshaft, and make some sort of cage for it, like the C5 torque tunnel.
This is amazing!
