Im a RWD guy my self, and now since owning a FWD i cant have as much fun as a RWD and surely cant afford a RWD Vtec (S2000) is it possible to convert 5th gen to a RWD? or if so anyone know a place that does it..?

Yes you can do it, nobody does it. It would cost you more than buying an S2000 anyway.
There's a bloke in the US whose done it (he's on Hondatech or something) but the money involved would be cheaper to turbo your S2000.
And I disagree with you, my Prelude is far more fun than I've ever had in a RWD car. BUt then again, oversteer does nothing for me.
when you look at the s2000 engine it just looks like the engine has span around, i work with cars my self i mean if it costs under 5k im planning of gettng it done.. just imagine a prelude rwd :D would be nice!
This guy on Honda Tech did it with a 4g. Great read! However, not really a Prelude in the end is it ... still, big ups to him!
will cost alot more than 5k but that isnt the problen - the problem is rego
and ofcorse the steering rak is in the way witch will reqire serious modding to the front so is a problem
its a big problem in NSW
and as far as i kno rego wont happen!!!
tightass goverment scum!!!
i'm interested as well.. let me know if u done it... hehehe... just want to make the car different than any others out there... hehe... it's so fancy... but sooo much work!!!
get yourself a 180, 32,33,34,
easy solves your quesiton :) if u willing to pay up to 5k.. hmmz yes sell your prelude and get a 34.. excellent 34 is good :)
i have had a 200sx,33,34 they all great cars but i wanna try modding up something diffrent.. i cant afford a s2000 rwd vtec so i think i want to c how a prelude would hold up rwd hehe
graft a lude shell onto a nissan chassis. Good luck with the engineers and RTA.
this makes the most sence,, buy a s13 , thrw away the car and weld on the running gear, yes whole car because ull probably need stupid little things like steering rack, front hubs,feul tank, ectQuote:

You will only need an engineers certificate!
Do it! I dare ya! :)
he's full of shit read it up on the RTA site
but i would like to see someone in nsw atempting this as most people havnt got time or motivation for this kind of project
That guy in the US who was trying to build the RWD prelude has given up after a year of trying to get it done
there was a rwd integra in the states. it was competing in drift competition i think it was formula d right at the very beginning. it didnt seem to be competitive kept spinning out? so even if u do a rwd conversion it may not really have much advantage? it was using crv drivetrain or sumthing. what was that prelude guy using? and i notice he was using different suspension bits like from a rx-7
dude that guy who was doing that rwd conversion was doing it in the noobest way.. im sure theres a esier way..
