That car is the one that was at the drift day...It wasn't really a ITR.

Nope, it's the same one...

Blake Fuller of Braille Auto (www.brailleauto.com) and the crew DID make it AWD, but they also wanted to go drifting and so they converted it to RWD.

It's B18 to CRV trans and driveline. They ran all day At Miami Slide (www.dgtrials.com) without serious mechanical issues and even took it out on the oval after the day was done.

The power of the B18 isn't massive, but the ITR (which had been painted gunmetal and is now white) has been lightened so that it weighs about 2200lbs (from what I had gathered).

Braille is using the RWD ITR as a test bed for what may soon be a "kit" to convert Hondas to RWD or AWD for drifting and rallying.

I'm allready a few steps ahead of you guys...
