Nope ... the tunnel on my '85 4k will accomodate a 4kq driveshaft!  Even the
mounting holes for the center bearing are already there ... I mounted one on
my car temporarily to make sure it won't interfere with the crossbraces that
we ran across the floor and through the tunnel, and it bolted on without any
problem.

Maybe because -- deep breath -- the Coupe is um, well, er, ugly?  I find the
TQC to be very attractive but the Coupe strikes me as funky looking.  I like
the look of the early 2-door 4ks and have thought about building one of them
as an AWD car myself ... maybe someday.  I'm down to two projects and that's
still one too many!
