Re: eklum's 91 4wd Civic wagon .
you cant go f-d with the rt4wd tranny. there isnt enough clearance for the half shaft. i mean even with a fwd d tranny you have to grind the f block to get the cv shaft to get by.
it might be able to be done but idk. there was a f-d on HCW and he had to get a fwd tranny.

i didnt really want to tempt the honda gods to **** me over again the trannys already got highmileage and im not really sure i feel comfortable doin to much im thinking more along the lines of just building a D series head with some bisi goods and just enjoying some na power with the 4wd setup til its time comes to go to honda heaven
Thanks yo you got a build goin yet??
post up some pics on here if u dont! i love these cars you will too im sure of it!
Thanks! ill give that a gander.

I GOTTA see how this thing sits when you get it all together, i dropped my rt4wd a few days ago and the front is pretty much on the shock body over every bump... I'll be calling ST after the holiday...

Re: eklum's 91 4wd Civic wagon .
do you need the forks ? or lcas and forks ? i might be thinking about selling the kit as a whole with no miles on the lcas and maybe 10 miles on the forks.

Re: eklum's 91 4wd Civic wagon .

Re: eklum's 91 4wd Civic wagon .
do it i promise you wont regret a single day driving it ! i love this car.
im trying to get a hold of someone that might know how to fab up a mount to get a f2d and retain the 4wd. this single cam is enough for me for now after i get going this car doesnt like to stop.( partly because the brakes suck.)
