There were AWD RX-7's in first gen and second gen form used for Pikes Peak Rally. If you do a google search you can find some interesting pics. The whole drivetrain was custom.
The easiest option to do something more modern would be to rotary a Subaru. There is a group of guys called 'Rust in the Wind' that have just completed a Subaru Brat with a rotary engine and trans, it also has a Miata front subframe and suspension. So yes, it can be done, is it cheap and easy, not really!

i was going to say though, 626 strut/brakes almost bolt into an FC, axles arent too bad, if you were cheap, you can run a B2600 4x4 trans and transfer case (its a T2 trans with the transfer case added). but the front diff is a problem! not only do you have to find one, it's gotta fit too! millen moved the engine, back and to the side, which in a "street" car isn't getting very practical. i looked into this a couple months ago, it turns out the FC has the same ball joint design as the FWD cars, its not a tapered seat like all the mazda RWD cars. i was hoping to use maybe a miata upper arm, and i dunno FD spindle, and have easy double wishbone, but no.... |
