Ok, need some AWD civic wagon help
 

Ok How similar is an 88-91 civic wagon AWD rear suspension to an 88-91 Front wheel drive civic rear suspension? i heard that the suspension is similar in design and has almost the same mounting points, now i know this will sound stupid and i probably asked this before, but what if i wanted to take the rear suspension off a wagon and custom mount it to my CRX, what i plan to do is make an All wheel drive CRX with a built ZC to run 20 psi, this is a project that will take a while maybe 4 years but i would like to get started now, i have never seen the suspension off a AWD wagon so i dont know how it looks, all i know is what i am getting myself in to, i realize that i am going to have to straingthen the chassis and also reposition the cas tank, lots of cutting and welding involved too, but i want an ultamite Race CRX that will run 10's no problem, so i am prepared to dish out the 5 grand that the project will cost me.

please no flaming, unless you already have a turbo AWD civic wagon and you wanna laugh at me because i am jelous.

seek out TURBOWAGONMAN young one... for he has much learning to teach you...

seriously, he too a non-AWD wagon and made it AWD, said it was a royal pain in the ass...

oh i know this will be more then a royal pain in the ass, but it would kick ass to have a crx that can beat a ferrari in the 1/4 mile

Re:Ok, need some AWD civic wagon help
 

To beat Ferrari's you only need to run in the mid-low13's.

a stock 355 berlintenna runs 12.6, still i want an AWD CRX, why? A: because its never benn done before, B: it would kick ass to see a crx do a 4 wheel burnout on shitty tires, and C: i want to one day run 9.5 sec flat with a CRX, hey maybe i'm dreaming but dreams do come true.

---- thats awesome, why couldnt you post this ---- up before? well i wanna do the same setup, but i want the rear suspension off an awd civic wagon 88-91 because its cheeper and easier then a CRV setup, then again whoever did that is lucky because they can use any B series engine.

dude... I want to just convert my hatch to rwd.. it has to be possible. if he can make a 4wd crx I can make a rwd hatch. that ---- would pull some serious wheelies. theres a guy in my town that has a vw squareback with a custom turbo kit. and he pulled a wheelie in second gear on street slicks at the streetraces the other night.
