Built My own Juke R only with a Honda
The juke r was always an interesting creation that Nissan did. Basically they took their most sophisticated AWD system and shoved it up under a much smaller and lighter chassis. Well, I did the same thing, but the honda version. I took honda's highest output V6 motor and most sophisticated AWD system and shoved it up under a civic hatchback. The car is an absolute RIOT to drive with all the torque vectoring and everything working brilliantly. Oh, and did I mention the power steering is great and the A/C blows ICE COLD :-) It's like a honda focus RS :-)
Buddy made a little video of the car. Hope to have it turbo'd soon.

The build thread is over here : Honda Civic SH-AWD Swap Build Journal
Jeffnguy: The SH awd developed for the acura RL in 2004 was said to have been developed for the next generation NSX to arrive in 2003 that never happened. And if you REALLY want to get technical the 05-10 RL ONLY is the most sophisticated SH AWD honda has ever made as it is the only one with the "acceletory device" that can very the rear end ratio. They later got rid of the complexity and locked the overdrive of the rear to 2.7%. The RL can very its the overdrive to the rear end from 1.8% to 5.4%
So surprisingly, this is the most sophisticated AWD system acura has ever made for what would have been the NSX, and they didn't even put as complex of a system on the 2017 NSX, but to be fair they didn't need to.
