Default Driveshaft trouble

3 weeks ago i bought a CRX with a Vti engine. Now the problem ive been having is that the driveshaft on the right side is getting ripped up to shreds. The cause of this is that the engine is mounted too far to the left.

The driveshaft is too short, so when i turn the wheels to the right the cv-joints is popping out from the inboard joint. Ive broken 3 driveshafts in hope to find the problem. I now reliese that i need a l-o-n-g-e-r shaft that'l fit my B16A2 with Y21 tranny. Probebly a Civic Vti 92-95, ive heard the driveshaft on that one is a little bit longer than the CRX's driveshaft but im not sure.

My question is... from which car model can i ****** the shaft from that'l fit my car ?
What is my options to get this work ?

ill post some pics aswell

What type of motor is in it right now? I have a slow computer and don't have time to go through every picture.

Is it a b16 or vti one?

You shouldn't be using d-series axles. Use some 90-93 Integra axles non-abs.

Out of all of those pictures I saw one that had to do with this thread.

I hate when people do that.
