How I built my 9 second AWD EG Civic Hatch: The Green Dragon

[@kiwipassionmotorsport4748]

Great vid, answered a lot of questions I had and couldn’t get straight answers for regarding a awd setup. Thanks from Scotland 🙂

[@hondaresource]

If you have additional questions, I'll be glad to help

[@jayaron]

I know a lot of time, love, and care went into that car. Been watching it on your channel for a long time but don’t look so down. The Green Dragon is going to launch 🚀 you to the next level of your career. Now it’s on to your next legacy, maybe the Grand Dragon 🤔 #enterthedragon

Yeah, understand that whole budget thing. Been into this Honda game something like 25 yrs. And the Honda builds that I built over the years I enjoyed and loved more than the money Pitt ones were the Low budget or just budget builds. I think the guilt of spending Too much supersedes ALL else.

Which fenders do you have? I'm looking to make a widebody hatch but I don't like any of the "bolt on" looking kits out there, I want it to look seamless with the rest of the car. I'll likely have to fab up my own rear panels, but having some wider fronts could help save some time!

What’s your opinion on a J2K civic with this drivetrain set up? I like how you ended the video with preferring stock so you don’t have to worry🥲

That could be a fun setup for sure

[@RampageRacing]

You mentioned using the 97-01 CRV diff, isn't that ratio different to the K series diff up front?

[@hondaresource]

Non of the rear crv diff ratios match the front. A lot of the 97-01 guys actually upgrade to the newer diffs because of the clutches in the diff.

K24A2 is a solid platform. If you are building it, the block code isn't really relevant.

I had problems with my 2001 Honda CRV. A few months ago. Gave all kinds of codes. Went to Honda dealership and they told me 2800 to change out the tranny for one from a salvage yard to be warrantees for 90 days. dafuq? sooooo, I scrutinized the system. And I came up with a fix and a fact. fact: automatic transmissions are designed and engineered to perform even as their parts degrade and fail. fix: drain 1 quart of old tranny fluid,add 8-16 oz laquer thinner to tranny fluid reservoir,...start, warm up, shift thru ALL gears multiple times. set drain pan, drain all contents of tranny reservoir. replace drain plug. refill with new. repeat 3x. trust me. please dear lord trust me. after you have checked all solenoids n stuff 9x over, run some laquer thinner thru it.
