Default Ever converted a S to 4WD/AWD

Done a few searches and nothing has come up.

You guys over "there" seem too be far in advance of us in the UK.

So the question:

Can it be done? has it?

Basically my friend who works at a Honda dealer rang me today as there getting a new pearl white one in for the sales director , he wants to supercharge it and maybe convert it to 4wd!

I know its a crazy and maybe pointless and will loose a lot of the cars character ..... but can it be done?

Anything can be done. The question is: are you willing to spend the $$$ and will the end result be worth the effort?

I've never seen it done. I would recommend that you buy an Evo if you want an AWD. Roughly the same price (at least here in the US) and it has more power, more seats, and AWD.

You live in the UK. You should have seen enough Top Gear to know what the Evo is capable of doing.

Could you imagine the lack of torque trying to drive 4 wheels from a stand still?

On a related note, anyone ever thought of converting the S to a 4 door? I'll go do some searches...
