I might have talked about it before but im finally getting started on it. my plan is to make my CRX 4wd with using the drivetrain of our 4wd civic wagons. heres the CRX i pl;an on doing this to i picked it up a few days ago for $900 from a buddy it has a slippin ass clutch and some rust in the rear fenderwells but other than that its a super solid car perfect for what i plan to do.
You might be wondering why would i want a 4wd crx when i already have a turbo'd 4wd wagon..... well i want to build a strictly autocross car that is just street legal enough to be driven on the streets for when i want to test out things like suspension and peformance.
Im sure it will change but for now im thinking a supercharged single cam under the hood is going to be the best set-up for what im doing. the reason is dont want to go with a B series is because of weight and simplicity i want to keep it as light as i can.Im going down today to pay for the wagon in the junkyard that has most of the 4wd parts im gunna need like rear diff, axles, hubs, shifter, gas tank ect ect. any constructive critisism is welcome so fire away i dont mind.

ive decided not to use the wagon floor pan. after talkiin with my buddy if we need to add or remove anything we are gunna make it ourselves so were not fighting dirty old cut out parts from another car.
I am trying to get sunday off to get some more work done on it if not mon-thu were gunna hammer on it.
heres what we started with exhaust removed of course and then the tank later
mad mike gettin drunk
the wagon swing arm is on the bottom
chopped up
this side still needs some work but its coming together
YOU CAN DO IT!
the left axle is the short one so it looks a lil funny in there but i wanted to just kinda see what it looks like
thurseday night were gunna take it all out and do the rest of the welding to make the traling arms stronger and more apealing to the eyes. then i will put the integra front knuckes on along with make the integra disc set-up fit on the back. once the suspension and breaks are all good to go i will put the new engine and tranny in and measure for a driveline. its gunna be hard but i want to get the car somewhat finished enough to go to the last auocross on the 2nd of september it wont be supercharged and only be running on some azenis but it will be fun.
can u see anything strange in this photo?................. its only got an axle end in it so when she fires up for the first time i can do some RWD testing AKA cookies, burnouts, and maybe a drift or two.
