is an AWD lude possible? - Honda Prelude Forum

i was readin a post from a while ago, here is the link:

Jdm H23 Dohc Vtec

and there is a 2.3 dohc vtec engined accord wagon. now it is AWD, so i was thinkin that maybe with a little custom work one could take that and make a prelude into AWD. i read an issue of like sport compact car or somethin, and they were makin an AWD integra type r using a CRX system because they share the same engine. so why couldnt someone try the wagon's system and convert a lude to AWD because they share about the same system? just a thought...

$$$.

Its the only thing really stopping anyone. That and asking oneself is it really worth it.

I believe it was auto also, so you would have to do mad custom crap too.

So you want a less powerful car that doesn't handle as well as your current setup? Oookay...

I heard the sti feels like a 10k car with 20k mods. So why not throw down 10k on the prelude and feel comfortable going 125 mph down the highway

I would definately consider this if It was possible. I hate snow

the sti doesn't feel that cheap. it's actually quite solid. no it doesn't have rich and high-grade materials inside and lacks the fit and finish of most hondas but it's not terribly bad. the door panels are pretty flimsy and other parts seem cheap but this is a subaru, not a lexus or benz here. i've definately seen worse out there.
