I havent seen it done before.. Probably have to fab up a tube frame.. It is possible.. Just need the money/time/resources thats all..

most awd platforms are either FWD or AWD..not AWD or RWD. Goodluck.

whats the name of the comp. that makes the RWD conversion? also i think if i figured out a way to plug the hols for the CV Shafts on the crv tranny then i could do away with the FWD part of the AWD system just a plan though

There's already a REAR wheel drive 4th gen prelude that I know...If you need more info let me know..

The CRV system is a half-assed AWD system. It uses hydraulics to power the rear wheels. The system will actually overheat and shutdown if you drive around in the snow all the time.

You should be trying to copy a system like the 89-91 Civic Wagon AWD. That car used a vicious limited slip center diff to power the rear wheels. Much better in the terms or power deliverily and you could just remove the front axles and replace the center diff with a solid link to have a rwd civc.

Except the 911.
I wonder what subaru would do with the new impreza because the WRX's engine is mounted longitudinally.

gills · 08-12-2002, 07:06 PM

P2W, what's a good 240/Sylvia board, that's my next car unless I can get my hands on an EVO VII.

I want more info. That is the biggest problem with the prelude and why someday there will be a fd in my garage.
