I want my car to make 800 whp and still be able to hold the ground enough to throw down a 6 sec 1/4 mile without breaking anything... I put this project into the same realm of realism. h:

Bolting on a Honda AWD system is pretty much a waste of time anyway, because it drives like an FWD vehicle until it needs rear traction.

those could handle about 130-140 hp before they die.

Dream a little dream, it's never going to happend.

There was an AWD Integra in Japan, only had i half a year tho, I think. It was a D variant and sucked big time. They said it could only spin tires on the most teflon of surfaces LMAO

There are 4 models of 7gen civic ferio in Japan with 4WD.

Should you get parts from that?

Id be impressed if you could swing a conversion of this diffilculty at 16 years old. Hell id be impressed if you were 40. Its way to much work which means way to much money to be worth it, there are far easier more inteligent ways to have awd then converting an economy car to awd
