Default AWD EP civic 2.4L 5 speed

here's the theory: more power + more tires = no wheel spin off the line.

the 2nd gen CR-V redesign was based on the 7th gen civic, so without actually
looking at and measuring both cars im thinking it will be a challenge but possible.

here are my concerns
  • best possible horsepower w/out sacrificing reliability, economy, and durability (to an extent) with the 2.4
  • drivetrain parts that need to be modified to withstand lots of power
  • chassis modification for strength
  • as close to stock civic curb height or 2 or 3 in drop
  • most over all stock look

im sure ill get more ideas later cuz right now my brain is fried from thinking to much

the amount of cutting and fab work required will not make it worth the trouble unless you're doing all the labor yourself

Not worth it at all imho. 7th gen Civics aren't an awesome platform to begin with, this is going to add even more weight...
