somebody told me about a guy that used the CRV tranny and rear axle/driveshaft and made an integra into AWD. never seen any pics but would still be pretty interesting

no it doesnt look to bad man, and it has been done.. b20 turbo in a crx and yes it can be done... yes all 4wd have power distributed differently to front and rear, i dont think a 50/50 combo exists

I don't know why they didn't make rwd either, maybe, cost, complexity, power loss on econo engines can't be taken...

ummm.......yaaaa........ thats called *** dragging. drifting requires power to the rear wheels.

right, but the CRV can barely call itself 4WD.

big diff between 4wd/awd in my book in how they're thought out.

The rotation on the engine is incorrect to facilitate a RWD b16 or b18. As long as Honda had the engine setup the way they had from the early eighties till now (except for the k series) it will be interesting if they came out with a RWD RSX but I doubt they will. Honda is really built on 4 cylinders and FWD. Even now their civics and integras are FWD. I don’t think Honda will change that. You’ll just have to modify the car or buy a NSX or S2k. Though I wonder if you can convert a RSX into a RWD monster. The steering is set up for it and all... interesting..

well the drift scene here likes me just fine, it's all just as a joke anyway. I go road racing, and when I get tired, I go drift (drag) with them. BTW, I don't use an e-brake, so it's not really drag'n, I just enter at turn at around 50 and the back end swings wide the whole turn, way more controlled than an e-brake drag....


also, the S800 was just a bigger model of the S500 and then the S600. And yeah they were rwd, but they were also chain driven, based of what Honda knew from building motorcycles, not a very useable system.
