I've been oogling the pictures for a bit longer.
Doesn't the 2wd trailing arm have the LCA directly underneath the centre of the
spindle compared to the 4wd version?

Beowolf of NZHondas posted these rear diff, driveshaft & subframe pics from his 4WD EG. Thank you :)

Apparently there is not too much difference in the trailing arms for a 97-02 crv and 92-95 AWD civic. The AWD civic trailing arm has a one piece bearing retainer and the crv has a separate bearing.
I think the bearings on these trailing arms have a smaller bore diameter than that of the CR-V.
Could you possibly lathe down the civic bearing house and mount the crv bearing to the civic counterflange, Thus allowing you to use CR-V axles?
> Thus allowing you to use CR-V axles?
CR-V axles are 36mm and you'd either have to convert the car to five lug, or use circuit worx hubs to keep 4x100 lug pattern.
I'd be more intested in seeing of the front bearing assemlby fits.
Second option is to source Wagovan bits, bit I have no idea as to details.
A very distant possibility is a Honda Beat. One of the few rear wheel drive Hondas made.
It had 4x100 hubs.

this thread still wins
as soon as you make a build thread, you need to link here
Mine has larger drums then it's 2wd counterpart. I'd assume it would be the same for the EG.
The pictures of the 4wd eg up there show that it's practically running a wagovan drivetrain. Central Viscous coupler and non LSD rear dif, bolted in the same fashion to the rear subframe. I wouldn't be surprised if my car has the same part numbers as the EG sedan's 4wd system.
Goodluck on the progress.

Any chance you could post some pics of the rear drivetrain of this beastie?
While you're at it, could you grab a tape measure and record the axis of the trailing arm bushing to the axle?
Nick.
I got some pictures, I couldn't get under the car enough to take a descent picture sorry.

The measurement from the center of the bushing on the trailing arm to the axle was 44cm (roughly). It was pretty hard to get under there, but that's a pretty close measurement.
Wow man! is this your car? or pictures you have takein from elsewhere
It's mine. I have a build/appearance thread on this site somewhere.
emanuera,
any progress? We're all dying to know.
Just a few questions if you don't mind....
Could you get a measurement of the ID of the wheel hub bearing cup, please?
(Photo #4 of the trailing arm).
Could you confirm the the inside (of the trailing arm) is some sort of bearing race, or is just a trick of the eye?
(Photo #5 of the trailing arm).

has anyone ever figured out if there was an oem lsd option in the newer b/k-series style rt4wd rear diff? I think it has been established that it was an option for the d-series rear but I havent heard anything like this for the b/k. If there is one available I will definitely be looking to pick one up
