Found this on Driftworks

Seems an odd choice of parts for the conversion, the Nissan 200sx rear end is a much closer match to the Ludes track width, and an electric motor that is different

Nice! Shame he isn't sticking with a Honda motor.

Actually just done some googling looks like the RX8 is nearly the same at the Ludes track width

Prelude Rear track width = 59.6 Inches / 1513.84mm
RX8 Rear track width = 59.5 Inches / 1511.3mm

Ammo try and get him on here. Going by his words, sounds like he'd fit right in

I never knew that, kinda gay. Would be cool to see some random cars converted to RWD.

I think it's to stop space framed cars, which have no crumple zones, as drifting in a pretty much a contact sport
