Prevent Rear Wheel Hydroplaning
Front wheel drive vehicles are prone to rear wheel hydroplaning on slippery surfaces such as mud, snow, water, slush and loose gravel. It can be quite disconcerting when it happens because it's quite unexpected. One would usually assume that the drive wheels will slip first, as is common for rear wheel drive vehicles, but with a front wheel drive vehicle it's most likely that the rear wheels will slip out from underneath you and fishtail. They behave much like a rear wheel drive vehicle with too much power applied to the drive wheels.
The cause of this phenomenon is loss of traction. Loss of traction can be caused by many factors, but most likely it's tire wear. Since the front wheels are being driven, they tend to grip the road better. This leaves the rear wheels prone to "floating" on the road surface. When the surface is slippery or contains loose material, and vehicle speed is sufficiently high, the result is drifting of the rear wheels in what amounts to a fishtail.
It matters little if the road surface is wet, snow covered or covered with sand or gravel. All matter of loose material will act on vehicle control in much the same way - allowing the rear wheels to lose traction and cause vehicle drift.
The only remedy for such a loss of traction while on the road is to reduce speed when road conditions are such that water, mud or loose material is present. The cure is to replace tires with those having better tread depth for greater traction.
When replacing tires on front wheel drive vehicles, it's safer to make certain that the best tread is on the rear wheels. This will help eliminate rear wheel hydroplaning. Many tire shops won't replace just the front tires because of this potential hazard.

What work has to be done to change a front wheel drive car into a rear wheel drive car?
Thinking about changing a front wheel drive car into a rear wheel drive car. Front wheel drive cars are much cheaper than the rear wheel ones .
What work must be done ?
Its probably not worth the time and money... You need a rear, drive shaft, transmission, and turn the motor 90 degrees. Before all that, you have to make sure there is room under the car to fit all that stuff. Chances are that there isn't so then you are going to have to remove the body and interior to restructure the frame and undercarriage to make all that stuff fit. Then after all that, you are still going to have to get all that stuff custom made.
An option to make life a bit easier... buy an all wheel drive car (like a subaru or a elipse gsx) and modify the tranny to remove the front axles
