well you need a custom transaxle, since the crx is front wheel drive, or you could use a porsche transaxle...neither of which is cheap.
or you could convert the crx to real wheel drive...again not cheap.
so unless you have tons of money to waste on a rotary crx, id skip the project.

wow thats the most false statement i think ive ever read in this forum.
plusyou havent addressed the whole "his car is FWD" problem. so if you can find this working $300 rotary, youre still looking at, im guessing, at least 6-7k for a used transaxle and all the pieces you need to attach it to the rotary and make it FWD, plus tons of labor/fabrication thatll probably exceed the price of parts.
With that much money you could make the honda engine pretty powerful...for a honda.
again:
Not
Worth
It.

No offense man, but you really need to read up some more on the rotary engine. Doing rotary swaps into other cars is, well, just really silly. Unless it is another Mazda car.
Doing a motor swap into an FB,FC,or FD no matter which you pick, with certain engine configuration you do, is costly. Just ask a few members on here how much it cost them JUST to put a single turbo on an FD.
