Default need help here 200 accord!

hey Everybody,
I have a 2000 accord coupe, i have the idea to make it rear wheel drive. i tried to ask around Greensboro, NC but no one knows anything about that. so if any one have done it before can you let me know how much is it going to coast and what types of parts do i need. I know it will coast me alot of money, but i don't really care about that.
Thanks you!

for one, youre never going to do it. But what you would need to do is cut your car in half, custom fab a firewall in the rear of your car, then place the fwd engine in backwards. Weld everything back up, and hope its safe enough to drive, or build an 8 or 10 point cage so your car doesnt break in half on the freeway.

Another, less expensive method that I've heard of being used in civics and integras is grafting a CRV drivetrain. Either way, a monumental waste of time. After it all done, you'll have a slow RWD car.

LoL! :lmao: You would have to do such extensive modifiications to the whole frame of the car to put in a driveshaft, rear differential and mounting the engine & tranny in the opposite direction. Not meaning to be rude, but you might as well build a new car from scratch being that it would cost about the same. Contact honda and see if they'll let you design a new car at their plant.

a while back on ebay there was a RWD 90-93 accord with a chevy V8 in it... all set up for drag racing.

It CAN be done... expensive, yes.

Remember, it dosent have to nessecarily be Honda parts... there was also a RWD civic on ebay that had a legend V6 and an audi differential, this car was also street legal.
