Just browsing google looking for maximum civic offset info so i can decide on a new set of wheels and i came across this:

Mike Haviland is a man just like you and me. He puts his pants on one leg at a time, but when he puts his pants on, he can be satisfied with the knowledge that he has created greatness in the form of a B Mod Honda Z600. To call the car a Z600 is to miss the point, as this car is really a complete one-off with a shell that happens to resemble a Z600. 1195lbs, 168hp in place of the armrest and enough rubber for a weekend at the mansion. This car absolutely rocks.
The car started life with the goal of being a turbocharged D Mod car, but rules changes ended up making the car ineligible because it has a motorcycle engine. Under the skin is a formula SAE inspired setup with bellcranks and laydown shocks and springs. Interestingly, with the engine where a passenger would normally be, the side-to-side weight difference with the driver is only 7 pounds.
