did he use the crv drive shaft? wouldn't it be too long for the crx chassis?

the interesting thing about the new crv's is that it is not a full time 4 wheel drive, rather, a viscous style differential that transfers power to the rear once the fronts slip. this is not the best for a drag launch, but it would handle the abuse longer. i heard that guy is rallying the car, seems like a good application for it.

i think shortening the driveshaft would have been the easiest thing about that swap

I can't wait for them to drop the clutch on a nice hard asphalt launch and see the rear end hop a little bit as it snaps the tiny little tripods in the CRV shafts...

For rally, it'll be cool, though, cause there's limited traction anyway. I'd definitely want LSD in both the front and the back differential's for maximum grip..

All CRVs are like that, not just the new ones. It's the same thing as the old Civic Wagon had but a little more advanced.

he could of used front CV joints welded and balanced to new axles. anyone who takes on a task like that must have thought it through quite heavily.

very cool!
