Default AWD Conversion??

I know the old civic wagons came with all wheel drive and I was wondering if anyone has done the conversion. Any links of information would be appreciated.

I did a search and I emailed one guy from Canada that has done the swap. I dont think Im going to get anything back from him though because all his text on his site is in French. Does anyone have any other information?

This is why my name is truslydhatch...

I want an AWD or RWD conversion... Now I dont have my hatch, so I am planning on getting another... Let me know how things work out... I would need the conversion to handle hard launches and handle alot of power.
