Hmmm, first thought that come's to mind is,...silly questionOriginally posted by 88accordlxi
is it possible to switch our cars to rear wheel?But,.....this is a DISCUSSION forum, so.
First problem is what mechanics. 2 things come to mind 88-91 civic wagon four wheel drive or the first gen crv. The civic had a viscous coupling in the driveline to the rear, so that would have to be eliminated. CRV rear transaxles are know for being really whimpy. Exspecting it to handle ALL the power would kill it.
Second problem is the rear suspension and all it's mounting points, especially where it mount's towards the center of the car.
That present's a major problem, which ='s major $$ What comes to mind is using the rear axle/suspension of a S2000. Either make the part's fit (good god, how?) or somehow cut the rear off a wrecked S2000, minus anything other than the unibody, suspension and axle. Shear fantasy talk I tell ya
well, just get a frame from another car and fit your unitbody to the frame... very possible, and it would give you a lot more engines you can choose from... i was thinkin like a hemi

If you mount the engine in the trunk, hey just mount an extra engine in the trunk and yolu can have all wheel drive

I'd think it would be a FWD vs. RWD answer I guess.Originally posted by AccordEpicenter

It would be nice to try a rwd 3geez won't it
it'd be like driving a mkII supra, or something.
If you realy are looking into this, consider the car size, and possible donor. Datsun 510 would make a good donor, and they make Chevy V6 swap mounts for those.
Just an odd thought...

just drive in reverse

Better yet, just flip the motor around!Originally posted by 89lxi95zx7

Flip your seats and pedals around too!
and Voala! :super:
You'll end up like an NSX with the motor in the rear, but without putting it in the trunk.

Leave the motor. Turn the seats and pedals. There you go :pimp:
No, cuz you'll be driving in reverse with 5 gears! You'll only have one gear to go forward witch is reverse (considered first gear in this case)Originally posted by anchovies

wow..lucky me I don't have this swap in mind. If not after done switching the seats and pedals..and test my new RWD conversion, it'll end up a pile when I floor in 1st gear.Originally posted by OldSchoolSwap

however, my design is more challenging for the driver , how many ppl can drive in reverse at 90mph huh ??
if you use an aftermarket transmission you actually could do it. remember the Apex-i integra? since honda engines spin the "wrong way" they had to turn the engine around to use an aftermarket transmission. it might be more work to adapt the new trans than to flip the engine, but it's a thought.Originally posted by OldSchoolSwap

see how the engine is on the wrong side of the engine bay.

it'd be nasty to have rear wheel 3g's so we could do drift racing.

i agree that it's cool, but why did drifting all the sudden become so fashionable?
