What is the general consensus on these AWD Civic Wagons? They seem cool as fuck to me.
>AWD
>2500 pounds
>Extra low gear
>Si engine
>Lots of aftermarket
>handa relyability
Seems breddy gud to me. Any reason why I shouldn't buy one and slap a turbo on it.

I got a couple
D-Series that comes with them is the D16A6 and is weak, you would need to swap in a better D series that allows the hook up of the intermediary shaft so the D16Y's are out, you should get a D16Z6 from a EG Si and build it but for it to handle boost it has to get sleeved, or you could grab a CR-V trans from the first gen and put a B series in it but it will require fab work to mount the trans, the stock rear diff on the wagon is actually stronger than the CRV's
The other is that they are rare as shit now, I've checked auto trader and cars.com and other sites and they are increasingly rare
That being said if you want one you better make it a project and already have a DD to et you where you need to go

Wow, thanks for the info.
And yea, they are pretty hard to find. I see a few on craigslist but they're in pretty bad condition.

Kill yourself Corey.
FWD is good
They are actually rt4wd from 87-91 aka if the front wheels slip the rear wheels will kick in and get power and the 85-86 are push button 4wd, you will break these cars peeling out on dry pavement with the rt4wd

How about you take a look on youtube before spouting such utter nonsense, the RT4WD system uses a Viscous coupling that is very strong, you have no idea what you're talking about

Lol no
Buddy has one
Drive shaft litterally fell off.
>>15322463
>My buddy
Well it sounds like your buddy either had a poorly maintained unit that was abused or possibly damaged in an accident or the person he bought it from abused it, either way it sounds like he didn't try to repair shit and blew it up on purpose
Your anecdotal evidence is shit when there are plenty of YouTube vids with RT4WD wagons using the stock drivetrain doing launches after the engine was turbo'd so yeah, fuck your friend and fuck your bullshit

My friends driveshaft also broke two day ago when he Peeled out
>>15322551
Sounds like more anecdotal evidence and/or a retard driver that never maintained his vehicle, or repaired it from the shit condition he bought it in
NOT the car's fault
>>15322588
Butt hurt honda fag
>>15322588
To be fair, your post and claims are just as anecdotal as his
>>15322604
>butthurt
Except that you've provided no evidence of this happening except for "muh friends driveshaft broke" despite numerous videos that point to the opposite happening, so in reality you're just an assblasted shitloster who's mad his ruse didn't work
Holy shit the autism in this thread
>>15322588
Pic related, broke the ujoint the first day he bought it
