AWD subaru powered fd?

[speedjunkie]

I've thought about an FD being AWD before and wondered how cool it would be, and while I like boxer engines, I LOVE the rotary. And since I figured it would cost an insane amount of money to make a rotary work with AWD, I gave up on that idea pretty quick lol.

There was a gentlemen in the mid eightys who built a awd rotary with Audi parts. Crazy Australian. Lol. However thats it. So this will be a unique build to say the least.

I followed the Subaru Ej install on the Fb but it was never finished and went rwd. So I'm kinda fabricating it on my own lol

Actually the guy I think you're referring to is a New Zealander, Rod Millen. He was a successful pro rally & hill climb driver from the late 70's thru early 90's, who campaigned a number of Mazda's that included RX3's, AWD first-gen RX7's, 323's and this 20B powered FC you see being restored in this linked Speedhunter article, before he started racing for Toyota.
