Crazy Transplant Idea

Post by chrism »

Just a wild idea - My limited research tells me the S40 and C30 are based on the same platform. Does anyone happen to know if the S40 AWD drive train could be transplanted into a C30? I guess I'm talking about moving the entire S40 AWD rear subframe over to the C30??? Like I said, just a wild idea.
