I bought a good looking donor car for 1848, and it still has all wheel steering, as well as 5interior lug swap. I have a non- aws rear on my car, so i need opinions- keep aws or ditch it? All inputs are welcome!

I wouldn't mess with it. It's a novelty IMO

Don't remove it and leave it on there if its functional. If you were thinking of swapping it over then I don't think it would be worth to do it as so many hate it.

I personally like it since mine is fully functioning.

I'd ditch it if you are gonna be swapping stuff over anyways. It WILL fail eventually and good luck finding parts. Then you end up having to block it off or removing it to keep from dumping fluid all over the place. Plus, it makes the car a tad light and cleaner /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Ok then.. another couple questions- my clutch disc is bad, should i buy a whole new clutch, or will the p.p. and bearings be reisable? And the donor car has jdm corners, should i splice them to my car, or no? Oh yeah, the jdm corners seem to be a little too big for thier openings in the fenders. Pretty tight in fact

I personally would buy a whole new clutch setup (Disc and PP). I would also inspect the flywheel..and maybe get it resurfaced.

Depending if the TOB has low miles...I would go ahead and replace it with a OEM Mitsubishi throw out bearing while you are in there especially if you never replaced it before.

JDM corners will fit...I have them on mine and have no fitment issues.
