all wheel drive..

[tonytoka1979]

any one ever attempt an all wheel drive cb7?

[steelbluesleepR]

no. you'd have to adapt the awd running gear from another car and weld in pretty much a whole new undercarriage, more than likely tweaking the chassis beyond usability unless you were extremely careful and were a very good, professional quality fabricator. if you dont modify the stock running gear from another car, you're looking at a $100,000 custom fabricated gear box/transfer case similar to whats in chris rado's AWD TC.

it would be awesome to see, but way more trouble than its worth

lolz... it would be cheaper to go out buy a WRX... AND swap a K in your CB

what about useing parts from a all wheel drive crv?

You'd need to fit an AWD transmission, cut a driveshaft tunnel through the length of the floor, most likely reroute brake and fuel lines, and essentially engineer a brand new rear setup. You'd probably need a modified fuel tank as well.


SERIOUS custom work. If you can't do all the work yourself, you could end up spending tens of thousands of dollars. It'd probably be cheaper to build a full tube frame.

I've thought about it. Probably won't ever attempt it, but the thought has crossed my mind.

[tonytoka1979]

i think it can be done.. throw a fuel cell in the trunk, you would have to cut the middle out of the floor and rebuild a new tunnel to run the drive shaft and exhaust, brake lines run down the side under the driver seat so i dont think they would be a problem.. and then you of course would have to fit the cvr motor and trans..

It'd be cheaper to import and legalize an AWD 6th gen Accord from Japan.

yeah but not as fun...

If you attempt this then, do post as I'm sure most of us would love to see it and the steps required to do so...

yeah but not as fun...

and a CRV is fun to drive?

ideas like this are fun on the bench but rarely ever work out in real life.

keep dreaming....

The CRV is 90% front bias. And that AWD system isn't idea for anything. They did a video of a CRV vs. Subaru under ice/snow conditions.

I think this idea is an ok one if, like already stated, have the cash to do it.

The only reason, i think, this was brought up is because its become pretty
common with EF Civic guys to use CRV parts and make an AWD Civic.

honestly man, if you even have to ask the question i can garauntee that you do not have the capabilities to do this.
