RE: AWD?
umm.. lets see.. 1. you can do it. 2. you would be stupid to do it. 3. DSM awd breaks all the damn time. 4. FWD is not the best as far as off the line, but AWD sucks on a highway race cause of the added weight. 5. thats an idea, but you have to look at a cost compairson : The monsterous fab work you would have to do, the motor, trans, diffs, axles, wiring, shift linkage, different wheel hubs for the rear to take the extra axle, plus figuring out the supension.. it can be done aroune 50k or more plus you can say you have a AWD turbo civic.. and get killed on a highway race.. unless you spend a couple more grands in the engine.. VS. Buying an STI or a EVO 8 for around 45k.. and they are AWD Turbo.. 300hp.... okay.. i think that about dose it..
