4wd EG Conversion

Make it sound so easy...

Wish it was easy. Then it would be done. Still have so much to do., I will have more pics soon and not drawings and theory. I have already cut the rear out and started building a new sub frame for the hatch. Great thing is that the C3 Corvette trailing arms will work with a factory civic chassis in length with slight modification. That way all of the brave souls who want a 4wd platform with a Honda chassis can do this swap without cutting your cars by bolting on a set of trailing arms and choosing your hubs and bearings.

Got the empty Supercharger mocked up and ready for finalization. Rear end of the car is coming along nicely.

looking good!

where are you going to run your header?

I gotta admit, I never thought this would actually amount to anything. So, kudos to you for pulling it off! Looks like you're going to actually build it

Going to run the RMF Style 4 to 1 header design with a 3" collector vband with a full stainless steel exhaust system.

Sorry its taking so long everyone. Lots going on here. I own and operate a business from home building automotive infotainment systems or Car PC Systems and advanced car audio. Got a couple of customers asking to have highend systems installed in boats so I have been setting up multiple environments for sound to single mini itx based computer systems mounted in a stealth style box on the wall displaying allt he components of the computer for all to see flush mounted into the fiber glass of the ships.

Got the Sub frame shortened and angled to the inner EG frame rails. Going to use /14" or 1/8" plate to box in the cradle

kit to the inner frame rails and then tig them onto the car. So far so good. Will have the plates later on this week and be back at it this weekend. Here are some pics for you all to enjoy.

How are you making sure everything is straight? Curious of your methods....

 

[gotboost858]

Laser levelers, Weights and allot of measurements. Not to mention I didn't cut the entire rear of the car out just what I needed to mount the sub-frame and left the rest to aid in keeping the car jig strait. We took measurements prior to cutting the car and after with the laser levelers and regular tape measure's to ensure the car is still strait. Nothing changed.

Hmmm ok. I was thinking of using the wheel hub position as a reference from one to the next.

Man! I had to fire JB's Automotive in Aberdeen Maryland because dude broke a window on my car and was really slow at modifying the car. All John did was cut out the old cage and order the new one for me so I guess I'm gonna have to do this myself. Unless anyone knows a good shop in the area. Southern Maryland?

I could have told you those guys are shady. From what I remember, they don't even have a fence around their storage yard...

Its all good though. I didn't get setback very far and a friend of mine actually recommended me to go there and was surprised when they screwed up that way.

I almost have everything done and I dont want to be a teaser but you are gonna love this shit man. I promise you it is the most unique car I have ever seen. I am even going to do an EF CRX and a EK Civic with the same design but a Honda brake system.
