Very Cool Mid-Engined Civic

Its an '84 Civic powered by an C25A Acura Legend 2.5L V-6. The bodywork (front and rear bumpers, quater panel flares, fender flares, and rocker extensions) was hand built. A very interesting mix of parts were used during construction. '87 Corvette brakes all around, a Porsche 944 airbox, and 240Z rear suspension bits are some of the highlights, along with many more custom fabricated parts like lower rear control arms.
The car was constructed in the early 90s. It was featured in Sport Compact Car back in February of '94, and again in Turbo and Hi-Tech Performance in February of '97. Full documentation of the build comes with the car. Judging by some of the articles that were in the documentation, the builder toyed with the idea of a Whipplecharger at one point. Also in the binder were articles pertaining to the Ford Festiva/SHOgun, the Renault R-5 Turbo, and the Puegot 205 Turbo 16. All of which share the design of a pint sized hatchback with a big/powerful motor in the back
