Build for Drift beginners?

[240boi115]

I also want to point out that you can indeed drift a civic but it's not cheap. How? Well first off that whole rip the ebrake shit is stupid. That's power sliding not drifting. Anywho to drift a civic you need a 4wd crv motor and drivetrain, custom fab it into the chassis because civics weren't designed to have rear axles and shit (duh!) remove the front axles of the drivetrain
Brace the rear a bit and your good to go. Some guy in Japan did this and honestly it's a true head turner to see a civic get mad sideways. I had to replay the video like 7 times! Haha

I've seen sr swapped civics, s2000 engines swapped in too. Might try this with my EM1 after college.

They are sick swaps but if you don't have moola it's not something I suggest going half ass on.

I'd do it myself, take my time.

Might even leave the front wheel drive in too, rally the fuck out of it.

i am a honda guy and have been there done that with the whole crv rear subframe in a civic and i can tell you now that you will not be drifting in ANY civic with a crv awd setup.

It utilizes a FWD trans with a small output shaft that drives the rear wheels. Without major modification this system acts as a traction control rather than a 4wd syatem you guys are thinking about.

the cv shafts in the rear are smaller than your pinkie finger and break with anything over 210whp. And TBH, 200whp is not enough power to drift with using the said set up.

The whole 4wd/awd civic idea is trash so yeaaahhh. If there was a way to utilize a RWD set-up that incorporates a fwd output the drive the front wheels would be ideal, but a cr-v setup will not get you sideways in a honda.

Also would like to add:

The oem awd trans does not Provide ANY torque to the rear wheels UNTIL a front wheel spins. And when it does send power to the rear it is less than 25% so at that time you would get maybe 70% to the front wheels and at max 30% hp the rear and thats guessing high numbers for the rear.

Well aren't you a buzzkill.... lol jk.I knew about the passive AWD, but didn't know about the thin drive shaft. Good info.

These guys I know in St. George, Utah Built a CRX with an EVO 8 4G63 AWD Setup. At 13psi bone stock everything except downpipe/straightpipe & FMIC It laid down 326hp / 306ft. Lbs. It was setup 30/70% F/R. That little Muthafugga was fast. Cornerweighted to a nice 55/45 ratio at 17xxLbs caged and all. It drifted ok, but was a monster on an autoX track or drag strip.
