I was wondering if anyone has done the swap into the RWD version?I was thinking with thier light wieght they would make a prime candidate for a 13b swap(13b-re if I had the money).Has this been done before.From what I've read about them the bolt pattern on them is the same 4x110 pattern as the non-SE has.Just curious.



Thanx

There's a guy with a GLC with a 13BT, big turbo, with plans for running alcohol. I believe that he used the rear suspension from a GSL SE, but I haven't seen him in quite a while.

I would love to drive a ugly looking beater that goes that good. Just imagine the looks on people faces when you're passing them.

It doesn't run yet. It just needs the rad to be installed and a bit of other finishing work, but that's it.



By the way, what do you mean by HB? It's not a Cosmo.

HB- Hatchback.GLC HB I wanted to do a 13b swap into one cause they're lightwieghts that are similar to the RX7 in some ways.
