Civic RWD? Possible?

[EK1.6LCIV]

just like The Renault Clio V6! Badass but lethal in the wet and round corners

thats on my top 20 list that car



straights the v8 civic was made for burnouts in cali basically sitting on the bell housing lol

engine ended roughly where the cd player was lol

i think another major problem with a rwd Civic is that there will be no weight in the back an therefore...minimal traction! at least with the clio it has the engine in the rear (one reason why it is more lethal lol)

> major problem with a rwd Civic is that there will be no weight in the back

GTRs have something like 67/33 front to rear bias but no body seems to mind.

FWD's will usually have the engine + gearbox in front of the front axle.
This has the effect of lifting the weight off the rear and on to the front.

Rear weight bias isn't everything in a street driven vehicle.

> the clio it has the engine in the rear

The rear engine Clio is a freak/homologation special up there with other fantasy cars like RS200, any ferrari etc.
Hardly something to compare with a shopping trolley, aka Honda Civic.

The GTR has AWD. When the rear starts to slip, the front will take up the excess torque, giving it more traction.

Which RS200? Hope you don't mean the Altezza, because that is sort of a shopping trolley/old man's car in Japan. It is not a homologation special or a freak.

You can weld the rear trailing arms together from a ED wagon 4x4 to the rear trailing arms of ED hatches or CRX's, using the rear suspension from an ED wagon 4x4 (knuckles, struts, rotors, callipers).. which bolts straight up! .. Run a strengthened ED wagon 4x4 box and pop out the front shafts = drift civic.. its easier than people think.. ED hatches and CRX's have room in the tunnel for a tailshaft and everything.

I'm quite sure he would be reffering to the ford RS200 of group B rally Days.
