Well guys, winter has started and that means no mowing laws, trimming hedges etc etc. That means my ass is bored and aching for a new challenge. HONTEC has been building more and more odd projects lately and it's becoming more of a challenge to be creative. I think I've hit the sweetspot with this one, always was a fantasy to build a rwd honda with the engine longitudonally placed like the JGTC cars. Decided to go nuts and just do it..Bought a Porsche G50 5-speed transaxle which will be mounted with an adapter inverted to an NSX C30A 3,0L V6 DOHC Vtec. All this will be placed in the rear of an Integra Type R RHD Chassis. Next to the Civic EK we're building right now for full circuit use with a K20 with sadev 6-speed sequential transmission/drysump this will be my winter project.
The Porsche G50:
Furthermore I laid my hands on 8 ex BTCC Accord centerlock wheels 8x19 ET+55
Brakes will be AP discs 380x32 mm with Wilwood 6 Pot calipers on all 4 corners( Yes! I have a Brake Fetish!!):
The RWD base will start with 92-95 Civic AWD rear trailing arms which were built for the Japanese and Austrian markets:

Well read 243435336373 workshop manuals and walked around with my dial caliper for 23 days and found out there is not too much difference in the trailing arms for a 97-02 crv and 92-95 AWD civic. The AWD trailing arm has a one piece bearing retainer but unfortunately for a bearing diameter that does not suit my requirements (too small a diameter) However the crv bearing has the same bore as the front ITR bearings!! The only difference is that the awd setup has a bearing flange and the crv has a separate bearing...even better!!! lathed down the awd bearin house and mounted the crv bearing to the awd counterflange!!! eureka!! and the standard ITR hub fits like a glove with now the ability to fit a standard ITR front CV joint!! This is what I was looking for...compatibility,..The ITR hub needs some modification because the bearing for the crv is 4mm thicker than the ITR bearing, but that's easily fixed..
