Quick question before we go any farther.

Which American FWD cars share the same platform as the Catera? I heard that one of the Saturns and the old Malibu to name a few.

Secondly, Would it be possible to use the suspension and driveline components from another vehicle to make the Catera Front wheel drive ready?

Something cooking in the old noggin.....

Wait till you hear me out before you start yelling at me for wanting to convert to FWD, thats not what I'm after....

The Saturn L Series is based on an Opel Vectra, the Malibu im not sure (new one is based off a Saab 9-3). The Saturn shares a de-tuned version of our engine- in FWD form. The V-platform(catera/gto) is RWD.. so probably not going to work well without chassis mods. Tough luck. It'd be easier to just make it RWD.. do away with the multilink rear end even. Since i guess your just going to drag it'.

i kno what ur thinkin...and noo way AWD would jus b crazy in a catera
