I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

i just had the stupidest idea...

Post by idreamidrive » November 29, 2005

i feel like a ricer for even suggesting this... but a rwd s2k powered hatch. the widths of the car about the same. and i know it goes way beyond the width of the car. i was just wondering how much of the hatchie would have to be cut away to do this. like i said... stupid idea

Anything's possible with money. That would actually make more sense and be more bulletproof than a Bseries w/ CRV rearend since the CRV axles are junk.

Simplified:
I imagine once you got the rearend fitted up it would just be a matter of getting the motor in. Then make up the difference in length in the driveshaft. I haven't seen the setup on a S2K rearend, though.

as munster stated, a custom driveshaft would be needed. On top of all new/custom suspension, even if the widths are close, it would need to be totally different

With $$$ it's all possible.
