You have to leave the awd tranny intact. Anyway, the AWD wagon already has a D16A6 (Si motor), so you can build the crap out of that or do a mini me. I have a turbo AWD wagon sitting in my front yard. Want to buy it?

the transmission is very weak. Get a mazda 323 gtx 88-89 if you want a awd hatch beater.

I'd run the 1/4 if I had better tires. I don't know if the previous owner ever ran it. He tuned the **** out of it on the dyno though. Then he quit his job and got out of Hondas. I sort of inherited the car, but I don't have any real use for it as a third Civic. It's ugly as sin, but it's fully built. I want to part it out but that would break his heart. But parted out I'd get a fortune for it. I want to keep at least the AEM EMS. Anyhow, you're pretty far away from San Diego so I don't think it's realistic to think about buying it. Here's the page I made for it: http:www.vsracing.net/~suspended/wagon/wagon.html

If the tranny is weak it certainly holds out fine with 200WHP.
