Rear drive civic

Don't ask, not mine, no affiliation, I just saw it and thought someone here might be interested....

He can put a rear-drive drivetrain in a Civic, but can't be bothered to spell out "wheel" in "rear wheel drive".

I'm concerned about his attention to detail.

He would have had to use a 240 subframe because like most FWD cars the Civic has the steering rack right where a transmission would need to go.

In reply to MrJoshua:

In 01 they moved the rack halfway up the firewall so the trick would be figuring out how to get the transmission under it.

y u no sr20?

Why?

In reply to corytate:

According to the guy that I play paintball with "It's easier to get more power out of the ka" or at least that was his answer when I asked why he would dump so much $$ into a ka rebuild when for the cost of his rebuild he could have had a Sr20.

gotcha, but I'd go out on a limb and say a stock turbo engine would be better even than a ka-24et (sohc has lower cr iirc)
But I have also heard that about ka v sr
I'd still rather have an sr.
But if I was putting a 4 cyl nissan turbo in something it'd be a ca over any of the others
