Lookin to convert my 91 civic hatch to rwd for drifting. Is there a kit I can get or am I goin to be doing this from scratch???

scratch.

You can use parts from a 4wd wagon van to make things a bit easier though.

Lots of custom work. Good luck. Badass if you build it though

thats what the E-brake is for.

Fordslayern the e-brake can only start the drift, to continue you need to spin the back tires like a burn out,

What if I got the frame of a rwd car and put the rest on there? Would that be possible or would I be better off Jus modifying my frame?

would a civic even have enough power to do that?

I saw that done with an Integra and a Mustang, it looked absolutely horrible.

I would just buy an S13, Cresida, SC300 or another traditional drift car. If you really want something different then look into using the wagovan drive train and start looking for the parts since it's rare.

Yea if you can find a tradition shift car you can do it no problem. Much better than customizing a civic for it. There is a new one coming out. The Scion FR-S however it's brand new and probably going to be around 25k. The best starter car is probably a Nissan 240sx or a Toyota AE86 but they are both getting rare.

Well I'm not lookin for a rwd car. I wanna turn my Honda into a rwd car, you don't see those so it would be sick

So a wagovan drivetrain would be my best bet?

Yeah, that first couple conversions that were done we using wagovan parts.

like I said though, they're really hard to find.
