i have the new hondatuning magazine and saw this super clean ej1 that was converted to awd from the 4th gen wagon rear drivetrain and cutson subframe, and crv transfer case i think. i think if that setup was put into an ef hatch it would be so nice. im sure its been done but ive never seen one.

Yeah but i bet he loses a lot of top end, since its AWD. Still has a nasty launch though.

yeah, it seemed to go pretty good,i found a 91 awd 6 speed wagon bout 45 mins away in decent shape 1200 bucks, and one slammed with mods and a z6 for 3 grand.

I think it was epic tuning that did that car

Yep, it was. Here is their link
http://www.epictuning.com/

They plan on making a kit for people to turn their coupes into AWD. This if from their website:



THE Setup
Transmission: 1999 Honda CR-V 5 speed 4WD
Shifter modifications: 1999 CR-V Cable Shifter
Differential: Stock CR-V front, Stock Civic Wagon rear (welded)
Driveshaft: Stock Civic Wagon (shortened)
Axles: Stock GSR (front), Epic Tuning (rear)
Suspension Modifications: Epic Tuning 4WD Rear Trailing Arms
Chassis modifications: Epic Tuning Rear sub frame

I think it has a GSR motor
