Default thinking outside the box...

ok, mebbe I've had one too many beers but I've been thinking of possibilities for the EK rolling chassis that I just picked up and I am wondering if it's feasible to create a 4wd civic using a crv 5spd tranny with a jdm integra xi-4wd rear drivetrain...I'm thinking at the very least I'd need a custom driveshaft but they both _technically_ should be a bolt-in affair. Anyone got any info/pics of an xi?? I think if I paired a nice turbo ls or ls-vtec with this combo it'd be killler!

Crazy??

it is possible but very expensive and the crv's have only 10 % wheel to the rear so it is pretty useless.

ever see the rear CV axles on the CRV? The gain in traction would be offset by the frictional losses in the tranny.
