So it's rear wheel drive then? That's cool. Too bad they can't make the mid wing line up with the outsides.

I bet that thing would hauls some serious *** if they stripped all the ICE and extra stuff off of it. Nice Find.

I saw that last year...the only thing was that he has changed the stereo setup in that car to the complete back end of the car...from the back of the drivers seat to the hatch is all stereo and fiberglass...a lot of work and it looked good, but that really would have counter acted all the power that was added...dont you think?

old stuff but didn't this guy put like 20gs into it? if not it's still a lot of money which i rather invest on a different car. it's a sweet swap but not my cup of tea.

that crapbox was at DKN I think last year. the work was actually pretty low end for such a high end swap. it was obviously a DIY, and not a very good one at that. however, considering the task at hand, I would say the overall package was quite impressive.

That is cool I wouldn't mind doing that ha ha.

But you have to do something about the engine bay there is nothing on the bottom and it makes it look like a big hole to the ground.

A RWD Civic would definitely be cool (just think about it!), so I tip my hat to the dude who did it.

But I just can't get past that car's looks... utterly disgusting!!

i think he should slap a turbo on that bad boy look at all the room under the hood, as for the looks maybe not so much but i do like the wide body tho. and the rims not the exhaust.

but over all a nice swap i wood like to see sum pics of under the car like the tranny drie shaft and rear end
