Why don't you put a sohc vtec and turbo it if you want more power. I wish I had a wagon and I'd trade u everything.

the trailing arms should work without the axles just fine. perhaps you should sell the awd wagon completley or trade plus cash for one youd want, it seems to be a shame to rip out the awd thats working perfectly fine i pressume.

the rear bearings will come apart with no axles in them, you could gut the outer cv's and just put them back in but I'm with everyone else, keep the rt4wd!

wow, might as well trade for a fwd wagon instead of tearing your apart, too much work for something that can be bought

just ef it: you will also need the rear trailing arms if your trying to do a swap, also will have to cut and merge the trailing arms, or was it shorten them....but something like that in order to swap them into the hatch/crx chassis.

the awd wagons have cables for the tranny like preludes. you would have to fab up a way to hook up the shift linkage bars.
