AWD conversions
What is your opinion, if you had the time and money and fab skills would you do it
What car would you do it on?
I'm thinking a 93 sedan civic with rear 88 wagon trailing arms, and the diff welded in to a reinforced rear end.
would be a sick setup, but AWD civic ---- is hard to find in canada.

Re:AWD conversions
i would proabably buy a wrx sti or a nissan suv in 4wd.
i test drove a nissan suv yesterday for fun, and thoe things rip it up even on snow and ice. my civic just spins and does't go anywhere and this thing launches super hard.
awd is my new favorite friend.
but i would never fab a fwd honda into an awd one.

4thGenTurbo, I like your idea. Maybe I should not sell my car, and do that so it doesn't suck anymore.

No problem, pull out the gas tank, do some planning, reinforce the rear end, make a custom gas tank, re route the exhaust and youre done.
It sounds easier to do then it really is, but you guys remember the AWD CRX that some guy made using CRV components, that thing was sweet.
If I get my hands on a AWD civic wagon at the wreckers i'll be sure to get the components that I need. if not then i'll have to shorten some CRV trailing arms. and use a CRV Diff.
Now for the main driveshaft, that could be a problem, maybe i'd have to custom make one.
