I think this is a terrible idea and something you would instantly regret. Might be some dream for you but you would be wasting all that $.

I didn't understand this either and I just bought a 997.1 turbo as my daily street driven vehicle. (or at least that was my intention when I bought it)
But if you buy a 997 turbo to convert it to RWD, why not just buy a 997 gt2 in the first place. (albeit there were only around ~200 in NA). I mean, sure, you are probably looking at dropping $150k.....but if you don't wreck it, you'll get it back.  |
Lol, this is a dream scenario which I'm gratefully didn't happen based on the current economic environment. I think the few that BBi rwd conversions have done are over 120k extra but they include a separate ECU.
But there are others who have removed the front drive shaft for much less but from what I understand the electronics don't all jell.
The GT2 is slowly coming down in pricing but it's only available in 2 seater configuration.
