Rear drive conversion
Bored and curious... has there been any attempt at turning a Honda compact into a rear-drive? If thats even feasable... get better starts an less torque steer. I kno S2000 is, but its a roadster.

i remember some dude from cali was selling a rear wheel drive converted civic. i saw a few of the pix and it looked pretty mean if you ask me. i don't think that the car was streetable anymore though because the motor sat in bay with timing side towards the front of the car.

I am an Engineer for Honda in OH, where the Accord and Civic are built. There was a side project where some guys took and drive train out of a CR-V and built an all wheel drive Civic. Although the CR-V and the Civic share the same platform there was still a lot of special frame modification done, but I here that the car was awesome. It was tested with the cars from HART (Honda of America Race Team). I have know idea where it is now. There are always some sort of crazy project going on there under R&D. They even turbocharged a civic and ran it on the huge oval test track just for kicks.

Your job sounds fun! I wonder if there would be a market for AWD turbo civic... give WRX a good fight.

Three or four years ago I saw an add in autotrader for a mid 80's civic hatchback with a Legend V6 in the back. It had a wide body kit with intakes in the rear fenderwells. I don't remeber for sure but I think the guy was selling it for $10,000. It was in there a long time, I don't know if any one ended up buying it or not.
