Thats so great, the ultimate sleeper.

The entire car costs less than a K20a engine, and it could outperform a K-swapped civic easily. Goes to show what you can do with a decently equipped shop, way to much time and an understanding wife/gf.

Re: I wanna convert my civic to rwd

I think I screwed up. I rotated the tires but I crossed them too. Now my steering seems to be backwards, but I can brake torque like a muthafukka.

Re: I wanna convert my civic to rwd

Okay, this might be a dumb question but I searched and couldn't find an answer..

If I put these wheels on my car, will it perform like the car they're meant for?

Re: I wanna convert my civic to rwd

No other guesses?
Its from an Alpina B7.



So, back on topic, will my car perform like a B7, if it has B7 wheels?
I was thinking since I'm doing the rwd conversion I should upgrade performance as well.
