Yeah, but if Honda had made it RWD, then some idiot would have converted it to FWD.

Wow. Nice. I'd drive that! Good lick for Honda to build a rwd coupe tho. They'd have no real transplant forthe transmission since they predominantly rehash their engines in every car body. Ie tsx used te same k24 as the civic/US accord/probably the CRV. there's no real incentive to do another oneoff rwd trans.

Look for the twin H22 on honda tech. Party in front and back. Edit: it's a Del Sol.

Who said I want quiet and H22? }:) :lol:

Converting my Prelude into RWD is just a dream of mine. I doubt it'll ever become a reality. In fact, it'll just be nice to get it running again. :(

I know what your talking about. The Bora Wagon was available in England in AWD. Even before I bought it, I wanted to convert my Jetta wagon to AWD. Unfortunately just as the '04 Gti rear suspension mount points don't exist vs the '04 R32, neither do my rear mount point exist vs. the AWD Bora, making it much more than just finding and installing the parts of of an Audi donor car.
