Anything is possible with fabrication, I know I've seen pics of and AWD GSR swapped CRX in Canada so yes its possible but mostlikely not worth the time and money and i believe the ef AWD is belt driven and you'd proabably break it if you tried to but some real power down

not only that but adding the AWD wagon drivetrain to the hatch is pointless, its like a 80/20 split.

pointless? no, trust me it kicks ***. 10lbs of boost was hard to keep straight in 2wd, but lock it in 4wd and it ran hard. very fun to drive. would love to do it do a crx but just dont have the time anymore.

and? i love a good AWD car too, but, for one the spilt on the AWD wagon drivetrain is like 80/20 so its basically useless already. and an AWD CRX is just a no go. not worth the time, effort or money. srsly.

This guy started doing it, but there's been no updates in a really long time.
