Crazy swap

[tn_accord]

has anyone ever converted their cb7 to rwd or awd or swapped in a crazy ass motor?..jus wonderin cause i hear about crx's with 350's and the civic with the ls1 lol ..

there are some awd accords, but there is no point doing anything like ls1, you will have to make a whole new chassis for the car and stuff...

yea i was jus curious cause rare shit can be cool lol

If I ever get rich I'm just going to spend my money doing stuff like that. It would be awesome

from what I gather...the awd accord wagon looks nothing like a cb7 or our year model wagon. But I haven't gotten any good answers on that subject.

I've though about rwd'n the 'ol accord...but not until I had a newer car to drive and the f22 crapped out...and more importantly...a shop to do the work in

As to possible engine swaps...v8 is a bit much for such a light chassis

Prolly better to go with a 6 cyl...or just stick a turbo 4 in...

but this is all pretty pointless since...uh...no one has done a rwd cb7...let alone a rwd v8 cb7

Heard of some crazy swaps, like a VW Beetle with a worked 350 Chev hanging out the back, or a motor-cycle with a Cosworth F1 V8, a VW Kombi van with a Porsche LeMans engine (about 800hp). Used to know a bloke who planned to (and owned all the parts required to) build a car using a stripped down Rolls Royce Phantom chassis (with a bespoke lightweight 30's style sports car body) fitted with a Rolls Royce Merlin aero engine (27 litre V12, 1,500hp). I wonder if he ever built it, would be the world's fastest all Rolls Royce sports car!

To maintain some Honda content, here in Australia there is a RWD Accord 'Sports Sedan' racer with a 600hp 350 Chev (come to think of it, it might be a Prelude body, but who cares!).

The Honda Ascot was the AWD JDM Accord variant. You can see the familial resemblance, but it's quite obvious that there are a lot of differences.

i remember someone saying that you'd have to use the crv drivetrain an alot of custome work. anything can be done with money though. for most of us, its not worth it.

hows about an accord with a s2k engine and drivetrain

You'd have to fabricate a new chassis. The stock underbody doesn't have a channel capable of accomodating a RWD transmission and driveshaft, and there is no accomodation for the necessary rear axle and differential. A great deal of consideration would also have to be given to suspension setup and tuning to handle the different forces the car would be subject to. It would take a small fortune and an assload of fabrication, but I suppose it could be done. In the end, though, you'd be better off just buying an S2000. It would cost you less and you could just get in it and drive.
