It's just the wagon drivetrain, right down to the $500 viscous coupler that burns out like clockwork.

I know but the wagovans rear trailing arms are about 2 inchs longer then my hatches, I shortened a pair but the upper mount is out by alot and I'm not happy the way they turned out, If the 4dr's are the right lenth, well you get the pic.

Huh. Now that is some interesting ----.

You think you might be able to get just the suspension arms and have everything else work?

Isn't rudebwoy in that neck of the woods?

Ya I dont know if they would swap in or not or match up with the wagovan's driveshafts but I bet they would. I can use mine but the toe is out on one side and I just dont like them, I was super rushed when I did them

That pick is 1/2 wago and 1/2 hatch with a overlap because the wagovan is longer in two places (before and after the bushing) The upper mount is the big problem because it is about 2 inches higher. I can fix these but I would like some og hondas that bolt right in.

My wago has been flogged hard for about a year on boost, sure its clutch slips at times, but its seen some serious abuse.
Tranny not doing anything weird yet.
Ill hold my final opinion until it has a real clutch and some alone time with the FTL.

<---already has a spare tranny & rear diff on the deck.

JD is talking about the viscous coupler in the middle of the propellor shaft/ driveline.

I have wondered what the RT4wd drove like when it was new. My car spins the front wheels for at least a second before the rear wheel start to engage. I have wondered if/how much the shims in that coupler have worn.

One of the wagon guys in eastern WA has replaced the stock propellor shaft/viscous coupling BS, with a custom solid propellor shaft, and put in phantom grip LSDs in the F&R diffs. True 50/50 AWD. I would really like to see how that car drives. I would also like to see how long the rear diff and axles hold up.

Wagons have longer trailing arms than all other EFs. The 2wd wagon and rt4wd wagon have the same length arms. CRXs, hatchs, and sedans all have the same length arms. I would think those RT4wd sedan trailing arms would work killer for you highroller.
