you would have to make it rwd. it would take lots and lots and lots of money.

anything is possible with enough money. but basicaly a whole new front and rear suspension, steering, and brake system, lots of cuting and welding of the firewall, and floor. custom motor mounts. not to mention a donor car for all the parts you would need, like a wrecked s2000 so you could have anything you needed which would be a lot.

If your gonna do that you might as well make it AWD... Get a CRV AWD drivetrain and use that. My next project car will be sporting the AWD system from a CRV.

Berz out.

i have seen a crv awd conversion, and it still required a lot of fabrication but it handled awsome

I've actually done an F20 into an EF hatch (with my Dad). It costs a sinful amount of money (the tab for labor and NON-engine parts was over $15k).

couldn't you keep it a FWD by using the tranny from a F22 powered Prelude?? same series block so in theory you would be able to use the tranny...
