Who's tried a 2g tank on their awd swap? It's a saddle type tank right, thoughts? TIA. |

Where would you put it? Are you using a 2g rear frame too? There's definitely no room for one in my car. |

Well on a 2g it goes under the rear seat. I was considering putting it the same place on my sedan, where the old fwd tank was, under the rear seat. Im using the 1g awd subframe. |

I don't know how much room is left with a sedan, but the boomerang takes up that area pretty completely in my hatch. |

Thanks for the picture. I'll have to go a different route I guess. People on the internet seem to have generally low opinions of the 2g awd tank. Do you have a picture showing how low that 1g awd tank hangs? Would you cosider mounting the stock csm tank back there? |

The csm tank occupies the space where the FIRST section of driveshaft resides as it exits the rear diff. You cannot use it |

Yeah I'll stick with the 1g tank. It's the hump I don't like but using one simplifies the fuel pump and level sender so much. A cell would be overly complicated for a street car. |

Is this wheel too far forward? Should I put the rear subframe and axle 1/2" further back? This is on a sedan and I'm not planning on shortening the drive shaft. It's tacked in now. I'll be swapping an awd tranny next to set up the driveshaft. |

Im not 100% sure on this but my buddy told me that some people were using the vista and expo tanks. I never really verified it though. |

I picked up a fuel cell. I also have a 1g awd tank. I'll probably go with the cell. Any comments on the rear axle placement? Too far forward? These are16"x7" rims with a 38 offset. The tire is 195/50. I measured from the tire to the lower lip of the fender. It was 2" at the front and more than 3" at the back. |

When I initially tacked up my rear, it was in the same exact position as yours. Though it won't affect anything I moved the subframe back so the wheel was centered up. I couldn't stand it looking like that at all. |

Your wheels look like they are in the correct spot. I used the stock csm fuel tank with my swap, just built a custom rear mount and filler neck. |

Thanks, I'll be swapping out the FWD transmission next and sizing up the drive shaft. Then I'll see about getting the rear back a bit. I had to dent the rear floor some because the boomerang hit it.Was your swap on a hatch? |

Yes this is was on hatch, I guess you may have no choice though with using the stock driveshaft lengths. |
