good luck I think doing the awd with the wagon might be easier working with an ef style since there in the same generation but still sounds hard.and going RWD would be a very custom job.the only RWD honda cars are the s2000 and the s600 and i think a few older ones.I belive someone did do a S2000 powered civic.but think your going to have to get rear axles it just sounds like too much.AWD and RWD civic just seem like a pain in the *** but with enouhg money anything is possible.if yopu want awd or rwd so bad you might as well give up on honda unless you can afford an S2000 or something.unless there is a way to do this I dont know about

awd is not worth it, the awd from the older civics is not the same kind of awd found on wrx's or lancer evos for instance.

HHMMM....... going RWD is just like AWD. the front driveshaft would have to be taken off. all I do is put on the set of rear axles from the old AWD station wagon and put a rear drive shaft on. OH... if it were only that simple. any other ideas anyone?

oh well. I guess my car will stay front wheel terror. $$$ is hard to get for a big job. oh well. i guess I'll forget about it. besides, there are certain advantages to FWD.

P.S. don't reply to this anymore, let all the good posts go to the top. I'm sorry, and I'm not trying to be A post *****.
