If you could use any engine in the E30...

VQ35de Lots of power, they sound awsome they are attached to a six speed gear box, plus plenty of morons have wrecked their g35 or 350z, so you could pick one up on the cheap.

It wont be all fwd or rwd I think the most it can go is 70 to 30. Any ways STI's are gay and a wast of money. Get an LS1!

[T3rd Ferguson]

isnt an sti FWD??? how would you get that to work?
thats one thing i love about the e30. its rwd. why fuck it up and go front wheel drive?

the STI is all wheel drive but it has an active biased differential where you can change power between all 4 wheels, front or rear in simplest terms

STi is AWD I believe... but I'd still just stick to RWD.

[meforprezz]

sti = awd

[blunttech]

What would it be and why?

I love the I6 and all but I think a boxer 4, (Sti motor) would really show what the E30 chassis is truly capable of.
