Default Might be a dumb question, but..




..can you make a honda AWD? Let me elaborate.. the eclipse gsxhas an awd drivetrain and I was wondering if it was possible to do a swap and make a honda AWD? Idon't wanna hear, "why would you do that"? or some other bs. This is a straight forward question in which I want a straight forward answer. I don't even own a honda, (yet) I just wanted to know if it was possible that all.

Yup, its just a machine. I've always thought about a RWD Civic, with a V-6 out of a TL Type-S mounted at the front, but it would be more work then I have time for. You'd need a machine shop and some mechanical enginnering type experience to make it work. Would be a fun project though, lots of feats to overcome.

Your question was not dumb. [sm=goodidea.gif]
