I give it three hard launches until it spits those puny rear axles out.

Wow that seems incredibly pointless. Full race tein susp on a sport utility Id like to see that thing flip going through a corner. What do you think will break the first rearend or the axles?

Hmmmph sounds lame-o. Those little rear axles will snap like the twigs they are whaen any torque is shitfted to them. Hmph GReddy turbo kit? GS-R head. Sounds like a 15 second wonder.

That person is stupid. They should just give me their block.

maybe you should email them and ask for the block cause im sure they wont need it soon since the life span on that thing wont be no more than 5 runs and thats if they get lucky with those punny shafts...ive seen pencils that look stronger than those things.

I know of at least 3 peeps in FL with jackson charged CRVs that broke their rear axles and/or rear ends on the first or second launch at the drag strip. Keep in mind thats non vtec with a puny 45 cubic inch blower. Probably puts down a big whopping 155hp imagine with VTEC and a turbo....KABOOOOOOOOM

Its a large FWD for goodness sakes! The Real Time 4wd transfers torque to the rear wheels when it needs extra traction hence the small as axles. Now at the drag strip OF COURSE the front wheels are gonna lose traction and its a HUGE vehicle so when it transfers all of its wieght to the rear COMBINED with the extra torque transfered to the rear those little things just go. Have you guys ever just watched one of those in front of you and laughed out loud at the axles. Yeah its a Honda and all and like I said before can I have your block (so we know thats good!) but cmon its not a race car! Get on the stick people!

Isnt there some beefier rear end and axles that can be installed or created? If those were installed it would be a little bad ass SUV. Kindof reminds me of a Typhoon I shall call it mini-Ty.

$$$$ Anything is possible just not many people willing to spend this sort of bucks on a CRV that weighs a ton for a honda.

Yeah probably something custom. Then youd have 30k+ into an suv that will run 15s and handle like shit. Pointless. But then again one of the joys of having alot of money is that you can afford being as eccentic (sp.) and stupid as you choose. $.02
