Default Converting it to RWD

right now im in a dilema, im discouraged to have a fwd so i want to convert my damn teg to AWD or RWD, ive seen the AWD done with a B20 tranny in honda-tuning mag, but i dont know what to start looking for/at.

what are good things about fwd, negatives of rear (i know most, but maybe theres something i havent heard of)

thanks

dont waste your money. if you want AWD or RWD, sell your integra. it will cost too much.

what type of driving do you do that you feel discouraged to drive a FWD vehicle?

Yeah, youd be better off selling your Integra and getting a different car to work with. Something thats already RWD or AWD/4WD.

If Camaro's or Mustangs arent your thing, theres plenty left out there:
Mazda Miata
Mazda SA22C RX-7
Mazda FC3S RX-7
Toyota AW11 MR2
Toyota SW20 MR2
Early Toyota Celica's are RWD or the ST165/185 alltrac
Subaru Impreza
Subaru Legacy

Hell, by the time you got done wasting money, you could probably have imported a real AWD Integra from Japan.

Type of driving: drifting

im aware of the money issue, and i love how the car looks with the type r conversion. 2 seaters arent my thing, m2r's have oversteer for drifting, blah blah. i just want a peice of mind, not that im gonna ACTUALLY do it.

I didnt list only the MR2. Its not like you can get that many more people into a DC2 anyhow.

There are plenty of cars for you to drift in. If you wanted to drift, you should have thought about that before buying an Integra. Do up the suspension right and take it to the local autoX and have fun.

I also forgot to mention the bandwagon cars supreme; the S13 and S14 240SX, and the AE86 Corolla GT-S.

Are you actually planning on entering drift competitions, or do you just think sliding the rear wheels around is cool?

Even if you converted it, the weight distribution would be way off making it nose heavy.
