All of us love the Honda Civic, with its efficiency and enjoyable all wrapped up in a sensible package deal. However what in order for you extra efficiency, extra enjoyable, and don’t look after the practicality, must you simply purchase a unique automobile? No! You need to transfer your Civic’s engine to its rear hatch, like this courageous EG vendor did.
This Civic started life as a daily outdated EG hatch, till its present proprietor determined that one of the crucial beloved Civic generations merely wasn’t fascinating sufficient by itself. Quite than promote it off for an MR-2, nonetheless, the vendor merely made their very own mid-engined Civic.
The engine that sits in again is traditional EG — a B18 LS block with a B16A2 VTEC head — and powers the rear wheels by way of a principally regular five-speed transaxle. The itemizing says the shift linkage has been modified, which one would count on, however doesn’t go into every other modifications to the drivetrain. It ought to nonetheless be Honda dependable then, proper?
You may count on a construct this wild to be some kind of totally stripped-out race automobile, however this Civic remains to be pretty regular forward of its customized rear firewall. The entrance seats have been swapped for these from an Integra, however that’s about the one change noticeable within the cabin. Even the 1992-vintage steering wheel remains to be there.
This rear-engined, rear-drive Civic should be an absolute blast to hoon round. If anybody needs to lend me ten grand with which to substantiate this, I’ll fortunately throw a bid in — at time of writing, it’d simply edge out the automobile’s $9,999 excessive bid. C’mon, one in every of you should have some money to throw round and a want to learn that evaluation, proper?
