Here I go Again.... AWD Retto
Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2016 9:58 am
Alright ladies and gents, after my original plan fell through due to having a chassis that was too far gone to build from 4 years ago, I have spent MORE time doing research, and more time figuring out what it is i want from an AWD Beretta.
I have figured out i want diesel, selectable AWD/RWD, and to be able to mount roughly 30in tires for an "all bases covered" car. The idea isn't to beat anyone in a drag, or be competitive, just build something i can have fun with anywhere, and afford to fuel it.
So far i have figured out everything but a donor for Diffs and suspension. so far its an OM606 Turbo diesel, T56, and an NP242 transfer case.
I want Independent suspension front and rear, and the ford 8.8 is about the most common, "buildable" diff out there. i am considering using a Ford Explorer as the donor, but I'm not sure yet. open to anyone's suggestions.
