    the awd matrix are pieces of shit. They put the weekend engine on there and put awd. So its really heavy and has little power

    I never knew they came in AWD either. Too bad they don't mate it with the 2zz, that could be a pretty cool car.

    Actually, the 1ZZ has better low end response than the 2ZZ, and is better suited to the auto tranny and the AWD.

    I do agree that it would be cool if they mated a 6-speed AWD tranny with the 2ZZ... hmmm... gets me thinking...

    Heheh I doubt a stock 2ZZ would do that. And if it did, that's okay too ;) In fact, that would probably be the least of my troubles!

    A couple months ago you were saying that you wouldn't trust me with an oil change, that still true?

    bro, i grenaded two rear ends with a 100whp 4age

    i just installed the 5th rear end since ive had the car

    an 8400rpm clutch drop would most likely grenade an awd drive train built to only handle 130hp through a slushbox

    LOL, that's why you don't do that!!!

    IIRC, Toysport or somebody did this, but they used all the running gear from an ST205...

    the awd matrix actually has less power than the standard matrix 123hp. they had to change the exhaust piping to accomodate the awd system.

    i was looking at buying an awd matrix. i wanted one with the body styling of the xrs, but after pricing it, i said nah
    plus, i wanted a stick shift, that sucks that it's only an auto
