Default Is it possible to change a FWD '95 Civic into a RWD?

I am going to get a FWD '95 Honda Civic and I just wanted to know if you could change it into a RWD. And if so, what would be needed to do, and is if inexpensive?

well I cant help you on the specifics but I would not expect that changing out the entire drivetrain would be the least bit inexpensive. I have a feeling if you want RWD that you should sell the civic and buy something that comes w/ it from the factory

The Top Fuel del sol was converted to RWD, but that is a major racing company in Japan, not just some regular guy from Georgia.

Can it be done? Yes. But it would involve lots of time, money, headaches, and a plethora of unforseen issues.

those aren't real time AWD.. even if it says it is... it is FWD mostly unless the wheels loose grip then the back tires come into play..

so basically you wouldn't move if you took out the front axles

I saw a pic of a AWD Civic coupe. It has a Mitso Evo7 I think. I can't remeber what series it is but it's a Mitso AWD turbo. I saw the pic @ Ultima Performance in NY.
