id like to know what awd drivetrain will fit in the accord...

to keep the modification to a minimum, i would go with the civic rear differential since its MUCH smaller than the RDX

also the rdx/mdx rear diff is also electronically controlled

yea... they were just meant to give power to the rear wheels to avoid slipping in rain and snow, not meant for power...

I think the power ratio is 70/30 front to rear but the dude that is running that setup is achieving 400whp on his awd

the 2nd pic is good cause it shows what its going to take to put something in there...unlike vws, where you can just swap rear ends (but cut out the spare tire well)...

also, wheres the rear sway?

the dude that has this car is over on HT. since they used the civic wagovan rear (what ever its called) i dont think it had the option for sway bars. you can probably fab one up for it tho if i wanted more stability but with the AWD, i dont think you are really gonna need it

the main thing that people would run into is finding a rear knuckle that would support a rear axle which i think that would be the most money
