Skyline-swapped Accord Wagon

Skyline-swapped Accord Wagon // Rear-Wheel-Drive // S13 Subframes

1: Alright seriously – what the hell have you built here?!

My buddy Robert Bell and I at RB’s Adrenaline Factory have taken a 1994 Honda Accord Wagon ce1… and completely cut off the front end. We welded in a new tubular front end built to s13 240sx specs, and dropped in a RB25det Neo (r34 Skyline GTT) from JDM of California. The S13-spec front-end allows us to run the s13 subframe, suspension, brakes, everything. Piece of cake right! lol

In the rear, we’re using an s13 rear subframe for the rear-wheel-drive conversion, and an R33 driveshaft.

Let me by clear – THIS IS MY DAILY. But we knew this was also gonna be a drift car from the get-go… so we wanted to use parts that are accessible & easy to get in the drift world.

2: You realize that like 90% of these off-the-wall projects never run again right? How did you beat the odds?

Backstory: We had an R32 front bumper laying around. And out of boredom, I put it on my Accord one day. I took it to a local monthly meet… and people laughed. That was all the motivation I needed. So bottom line: We ‘beat the odds’ when we set out to prove ‘em all wrong. We set out to do something different AND FUN… and we stuck to a pretty strict budget and plan. Spare time is minimal around here, and so is shop space – so having a detailed plan of attack was key. But we knew that once we conquered the hard part of getting the engine & rear-end in… and we’d have this thing sliding in no time!

3: How does it drive? What’s it feel like?

It honestly rides fantastic! The Function & Forum Type 2 coilovers are great. And we took it even further & modified the position of the subframes/suspension to where the suspension would have full range of function… but also still have that low palm-biting low stance.
