You could always convert an EVO or STI to rear wheel drive... just weld the front differentials. I saw a video of a RWD STI... wasn't pretty... slide slide slide... bam!

But the Evo's engine is mounted transversely, so how can you turn it to RWD, which normally has its engine mounted longitudinally?
As for the STi, the latest versions offer this torque controller wherein you can transfer up to 2/3 of grunt to the rear wheels. But turning it to a pure RWD is more possible, because the engine is mounted lengthwise.

Wala sa engine yan, it's all in the differentials. The procedure is the same, you make the front differential solid and remove the front drive-axles so that it sends 100% of the torque to the back. I don't know if the rear differential will take all 300 hp, though.
Oops... edit: apparently, it can: Hwow... http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=115637
Forgive me, I didn't watch Tokyo Drift.

It depends on the axle. The Supra can take up to 1000 hp! Evos, IIRC, have 50/50 split torque between the front and rear wheels. Also, isn't it unstable to convert to RWD if the manufacturer didn't intend it to be that way?

Astig! Reminds me of the stunt show I saw in Disney Florida, only the cars here are way way cooler.
Yeah it's just for the sake of drifting, but If you have it as a daily driver, why ruin a machine that's one, if not the best handling car ever?
