I am the molesterer. It will put the tprc to shame... mark my words.

Well I picked up my rear end from the junkyard today. They told me I was pretty much an idiot for pulling a whole rear end on my own with hand tools, but it only took a half hour including the time it took to scrounge around for a pipe to use as a breaker bar. Complete minus break calipers, but I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do about that... rigged up Si rear calipers or 240sx calipers... hmm.



93 240sx coupe rear, S13 gen. Not as fancy as an S14 I suppose but stronger than an s2k or subie rear diff.

Okay.. so I'm wanting to keep it Honda powered now and I have a D laying around.. so I've got an idea. What if I take the 240 rear and flip the carrier 180* around the axis of the input shaft (like flip it upside down, the pass output would now be the drivers and vice versa) thus making it turn backwards in essence. Now with the D and a trans I mount it longitudinally with the timing side up front and the transaxle (locked up of course) pointed to the firewall and I have a driveshaft made using the cv axles. The problem I see with this is having the driveshaft with the cv end popping out of the transmission, but if I drill out the splined end and have the hole tapped and have the cv on the other end drilled put and plugged into the other side of the trans and run a big bolt through the diff and the cv's. Sounds complicated probably... but I'm just wondering what you guys would think. Don't tell me to just mid mount the D.. I don't want to do that. The motor would sit off center toward the passenger side mounted like this if the driveshaft were centered, but the weight would be balanced by me sitting in the driver seat. I've made some measurements and a Z6 from timing cover to nose of the trans is roughly 36", 30" from timing cover to the tops of the plugs. I measured the bay of the crx and it would be 30" from the firewall to the hood latch. I thought about mounting the D trans up front and timing cover to the firewall but the trans would either stick out into the bumper or the engine would be under the dash... not what I'm looking for.

After thinking about it while playing metroid prime corruption I've thought of two problems. There would be a ton of load on one side of the spool/transmission for one. Then there's the gearing. 4.06 rear end, DX fd 3.8 Si fd 4.2. Bone, got any ideas? I would have to gear it up to get more speed per gear, right?

Not doable...
