Do they make a direct bolt kit for that? I looked at pep boys and couldn't find it.

I think it can be Done. Just time and money will be spent into it but i have not heard of a corolla rear end on it. i think just use a CRV transmisson that is 4WD and make it a manual or something like that.

It can be done with some success.

Look at the braille auto AWD Integra.

CRV drivetrain

They didnt make a CRV in a standard, did they? Will it fit my d17, and will i lose any power, they don't have the same ratios do they?

Unfourtinatly, i cannot sell mine. I am looking for a new project, that is not a daily driver. I was thinking of a Datsun 280z, but i didnt know they made awd civics. Where did they make these?

first, ill answer the 2nd question, they made those in Europe


second ill answer the first, its just not all about bolting on a transmission theres a lot more to it than that....honestly you have some unrealistic ideas if your going to a forum to ask about these kinds of things, go to a shop, ask them, and after you see the price tag, come back and ask us something thats more realistic to some of us like a B series swap, or a K swap, or an H swap, or a turbo setup. Most people on this site have experience on that, but a conversion from fwd to rwd, or awd...is just way too much cash for some of us here. and quite honestly, not worth the money




as alphaxxn braille converted an integra ( was it awd? i thought it was rwd?
CRV drivetrain but modified it for RWD? i dunno) i think they have conversions going for a certain amount i cant recall the price though

Honda used to make the AWD Honda civic wagon in the 80's. I'd find one of those first. If you're looking to put a drivetrain from another car onto another frame, well, you're basically re-engineering a car. Good luck.
