Are you serious?

Anything is possible with enough time and money. Is this a RWD or FWD SR?

My brain hurts.

I'm pretty sure you'd have to custom fabricate everything.

If its a FWD SR20 I think it might be kinda cool. Finally a Honda with some balls.

Ah those two words. They mean welders, plate steel, TIME, and lots of head scratching. And if you plan to get it running, circuit diagrams and wire cutters.

Its not worth it, even if you do get it to work, some D-bag a$$ will steal them, because they are worth a premium right before race wars.

Here's an idea...

Swap the subframe from a similar year CR-V into your Civic and then do a RWD SR swap using a S chassis cross-member and custom driveshaft. It sure would be a sleeper, but then again, it would cost a few thousand to get it all done...

one of the fster CRXs was RWD with a 4G63. I am sure it can be done; much like tickling the back of your throat through your ***.

Fwd sr in a civic?

I think it was be bad as hell.

Rwd sr in a civic?

Meh, two much work for the outcome.

Yeah the Fwd sr would take alot of work as well but I just can't see making someone thats not rwd...rwd. Just get a 240 in that case. Same damn thing.

OR! you could make yourself a Nonda Pulvic!

Here is a picture of the Nonda Pulvic in it's natural environment.



Nissan Pulsar + Honda Civic! If I had a Pulsar GTI-R and that civic sitting infront of me, I could probably think of a few things....

That is what I would do my friend. Get a front cut Pulsar SR20 F.O.B, some beer (probably a bad idea), Plasma cutter, and a mig welder! AND JUST GO NUTS! Then of course you'll have everything at your finger tips. If you pull this off...

oh and... >>>> WHY!

We get this question in the FWD SR forum once every couple months. It always goes like this.

It has been done, at least I think it has, but it's really not worth the time when there are plenty of good Honda engines that swap in far more easily.

I did it with paint in 20 minutes. That's the front of a JDM nissan pulsar GTI-R (SR20) It's a 4WD car from japan, it's a 4WD. They go real fast! In a straight line.

Off topic Can I put 2003 Sentra SE-R Spec V rims on my 240 coupe?? Cause I found some real purdy ones.

Pulsar GTi-Rs are actually quite good in the corners too thanks to Nissan's AWD system...

As for the SE-R wheels, yes, but the offset isn't exactly optimal and they're only 7in wide.

We are aware of the GTiR, thank you I believe you have a Sunny front end there though. And what's with this straight line crap? 2 posts in and you are already at max fail.

I may be a n00b. Paint sucks not me!

As for the rims, after much hunting! I'm new to Nissan's I'm aware of the bolt pattern, yes they will line up, but are they going to rub? J7 is all you need with an un-tuned KA24 with lots of bolt on-s I mean I was going to go with some Falken Hanabi's 17x7.5 offset was 38+ I believe, but those would look so niiiice plus they are in front of my face... and if I'm not mistaken they only weight 17lbs!

Rubbing isn't the issue, it's that you can fit a LOT more wheel and rubber in there. 17X7 +45 (I think, may be +42 or +47) is a terrible setup for a 240.

17X7.5 +38 would be crap too. Head to the suspension forum and take a look around, you have a lot more options.

they fit... if you turn the steering wheel all the way to left / right the tires rub the struts if you have stock suspension. im talking about stock spec v tires on them. had em on my s13 hatch back in the day. sits reallie high.. gives you the "All-Wheel-Drive-Special" look haha. definitely get it dropped if you decide on em. not bad IMO
