    Re: Fwd -> Rwd?

    im no expert but im guessing you cant do it with a honda engine, you'd prolly have to drop in a rwd engine and tranny....

    Stop it. Seriously, it's all custom parts and whatnot. If you had the money to even think about this, I hope you wouldn't be driving a 3g.

    No, I'm not going to lock it unless it continues. There was a longass thread some time ago about some guy who was going to do the m4d tyt3 rwd swap (y0!) and it dragged on too long.

    Bottom line is, if you want a rwd car that bad, just sell your 3g and get one. Plenty of good options (with real aftermarket support, to boot ).

    its been done before to a smaller honda, a del sol actually, and its sweet... aside doing abit of cutting and welding, my problems are just finding the parts, and them being in good shape

    AWD Del Sol

    my purpose of the future project is strickly an onroad vehicle, mainly for racing.... the question is can the crv drivetrain stand up to that kind of abuse.
