AWD civic conversion
 
okay im getting pissed with this whole FWD thing, im feelin an AWD conversion coming on...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...968821793&rd=1

other than the tranny shown above, what else would i need to convert my 2000 dx coupe to awd?
i think this would be a sick project to attempt

that tranny's been on ebay forever...man awd conversion isnt gonna be easy. honda tuning tried/did one on an integra, and they kept running into problems. unless youre a master fabricator, welder and have the patience of a saint, id say deal with it. or just buy a wrx and call it a day ;)

Sorry, but an AWD conversion was possibly the worst idea ever though of by Honda enthusiasts.

Would be cool. Honda Tuning Did it and it worked(mostly)

The problem with the d16 AQWD trannies is only 10% of the power makes it to rear wheels and they were weak as hell. Why do you think honda only AWD in 1 generation.

If you really want. Find one of the ultra rae AWD JDM Integras, but they sucked to so that chassis went under like the Wagovan

----, that be cool.

why not just strip the hell outa a CRV and lower it. that be cool. then turbo it. O0

does that tranny have the rear end with it too.??

i've always wanted to put the 1g eclipse 4g63 and AWD tranny in a 97 mirage, (a 97 beacause thats the year of mirage my girlfriend has. ;D) kinda make it a Lancer Evolution

There are two generations of awd civics, the least the 88+ trans will apply to the rear wheels is 10% The more the front slips the more the rear gets.

Just get the wagon, pay the $ for custom axles and a custom tranny. You wont have to do a thing of fabbing urself and ull be on top of the world ;)
