let me first state i own a machine and metal fab shop. i have a gsr sol and am looking into making it awd i plan to either go with the crv rear end or if i can find a thrid member with the same ratio i would go with a sub assembly from a 280z with the irs and disk brakes. the sub assy would be the sweeter setup since it articulates the same as the factory suspension does. all that i would have to fab is the receiving mount flanges. what i am looking for is the factory r/p ratio of the crv third member. anyone know?

 

awd or rwd? I think it would be more fun (if your going to go through all the work of converting a rear drive system onto a Civic) to just install the S2000 powerplant or simliar rwd setup, like an SR20DET from a Nissan. Regardless of what you decide to do, it's going to be a considerable amount of work. I haven't really spent any time under the back of a CRV either so I can't give you much help their either. Good luck with it.
