rwd crx?

My friend says that he wants to get a crx and convert it to rwd. Is this possible? He seems to think it wouldn't be unreasonable to do, but I don't know.

Also, what kind of handling would it have considering it wasn't designed with rwd in mind?

try searching, i know there was a thread about a AWD, i think, Crx about a month ago. Anything is possible, just depends how deep your wallet is.

Mmm, nsx engine or s2000 engine. He'd like those ideas. Not sure he'll have anywhere near the cash, but I'll let him know.

no the engine spins opposite of the 4th gen engine, you would have to convert the entire driveline from the motor to the whels for that kinda swap.

Yeah, I think the idea of him getting an s2000 is more ridiculous than the drag crx above. He doesn't have anywhere near that money. He was thinking something cheep to put some cash into as he went. But at least I can get him to drool a little.

I believe that was Motegi Racing.

And here is a littles something to spark your interest. I an not sure, but I have a feeling that they used the differental off a CRV to do this.
Four Wheel Drive CRX

I was reading (go fig.) the latest copy of Honda Tunning and they did a RWD conversion on a hatch. Check it out it may give a starting point.
