that always makes me laugh....as most guys today have little knowledge of cars.

RWD crx?

that is big dreams.....what is the plan? what skills do you have to do this?

[boostedracing]

blah blah, dont they make kits for these swaps?? i know i have seen them for focus hatches to do a v8 rwd swaps. i thought i read somewhere about them actually being a fairly easy swap. i may be totally wrong though. lol

i have not seen one...i remember reading about one built for the $2000.00 challenge that "grassroots motorsports" does....

i live about 1 mile from the guy that does the RWD swaps for the Ford Focus. its called Kugel Components...and from time to time there are some crazy Focus(Focii) running around town....

[honda_hunny]

like i said RWD crx is the goal. havent done much looking into it at this point though.
to my knowledge they dont make a kit to do this. I've seen one civic hatch that they converted to RWD but other then that i think i'm going to be pretty much on my own.

as far as skills go i've done my fair share of motor swaps and general knowledge as far as that goes. I'm new to welding so my skills there lack greatly, however the boyfriend who would be helping me along the way is a great welder and a very patient teacher.

goals for the build isnt power. goals are to expand my knowledge of cars and do something unique. This is a fun project and hp goals will come AFTER the build :)

[boostedracing]

not a bad outlook going into a build like that

Welcome to SRO!!!

A friend of mine works for Honda (in Ohio) and at their shop, they have a team that built a RWD civic. Turbo/Nitrous NSX engine, something like 1500hp, RWD on stupid-large slicks. I can't remember what they used to fab the driveshaft (make the mold) but it was a very expensive project (obviously ... 1500hp lol).

And for those who would call "BS", here's some pics of the "slow" car (11-second RWD, can't remember what motor), and the "fast" car (9-flat), attatched below.

with as light as the car is and building it for the strip i was planning more on a front engine build.
but i know there are pros and cons to both :)


this is making me excited to start my project! bring on any more suggestions!!
