4wd Crx?
Does the gas tank placement on the CRX prohibit the swap of 4WD gear from a Wagon or a CRV?
I've heard it said that it does, but wanted to know if anybody has put serious thought into trying it. Also does the tranny off a wagon need more room. The Wagon is a few inches wider, but I don't know if it has anything do with the running gear. Let me know if this can be done or if its utterly impossible. (wouldn't it be nice to whop up on some TSi's?)

I've never heard of anyone successfully doing this so far.

It's possible but not even close to worth it. First it just installing it would be labor intensive and rather $$$. The setup as a whole is just too weak to support the abuse it would get from being driven really hard. You'd be snapping axles and blowing differentials left and right, it just wouldn't be worth it.

Yes it does block it. The Transfer from the wagon won't handle much more than 130bhp - then it blows (discovered from bolting a ZC into a wagon and adding turbo). CRV might handle it better I suppose, but if you want a 4WD performance car, it's prolly cheaper buying one that has 4WD already

you dont need 4wd to beat a dsm, you can beat plenty of dsm's the only problem is knowing if they have stock 14b turbo *i think thats it* or like a 16g or a 20g or whatever, but most of them around here are stock tsi's or gst's with a bov, but theres one white gsx with a 16g i leave him alone..........

Even with the stock 14b turbo it would take alot of mods on your civic to run him down. My friends has a 90 rs with stock 14b and some mods and tweaks and he smokes almost anything that challenges. Its my goal to get my civic close to him.
