Got VTEC? - Prelude Conversion to RWD

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/30/a...-rwd/#comments

hopefully someone gets my sarcasm.

Man, what a project. I'm too conservative to even think of really doing something like this, but thats what I love about car projects, people do crazy **** simply because they can.

as these kinda projects go, my favorite is still the mustang cobra drivetrain into a ford focus, I can only imagine the looks on people faces at the strip when he lights the rear tires up.

its just like putting on a supra engine on a rx8. If you got time and money, might as well. a rwd prelude might be pretty cool

I have a prelude like the one on topic and just bought all new parts and a new motor from over seas and I also think that it would be cool to have it as a rwd, but dont have the money for that.

should have been rwd to begin with in my opinion. besides the ls1 conversion i'd like to see an attempt with the stock h22 then fab a turbo into it.

In his defense, if you rationally think about it, probably only 2% of all car modifications are "useful," "necessary" or even "cool." Besides, it's not a lot different than the 60 year olds with their ridiculous whacked out '30's Chevys with Corvette engines and velour interiors.

So yes, he's crazy, but he's certainly not alone, hehe

But you must admit gives ya something to look forward to when your eventually that rich. I like hearing of stuff thats well out of the box though some stuff does make me wonder.
