I'm trying to achieve a wheelbase of 104 inches but I'm unable to find if there is a way of doing that other than the gruesome chassis hacking seen on fieros and hot rods. I've also got a fwd car (beater) that's already 104 inches. Would it be easier to just convert that to rwd? Thanks in advance

Cut your car in half and glue it longer.

If this question isn't for an S-Chassis... GTFO. If it IS for an S-Chassis, low offset wheels and widebody/overfenders would be my guess.

Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear wheels. S13s have a base of 97 inches. He wants 104 inches. The only way to effectively do that would be to chop the car up and add in structure and material. Not really ideal IMO.

I'm also on the "WHY?" wagon... Is this a spec for some kind of racing you're doing? If so I'd recommend a different platform.
