Why not just buy a rx8, or rx7 and do that? Instead of a FWD civic. but I guess it is unique

Awesome fabrication work done though. Don't know if it's worth it to swap it into an econobox made purely for boring econotastic driving. If they're going to swap a 13B with a huge snail into a FWD car, at least use a Mini Cooper or something "sporty".

I would've liked to have seen this in an RX7 or RX8. Such a waste of bling.

The thing is... There are plenty of rx7's with huge snails and a few RX8 with 13B-RE/REW or 20B swaps.

What a fantastic way to burn all the rubber off of one of your tires.
