Oh if they did, I would sell my 2002 civic and get that one and drop a k20 in it LMAO. That would be a little fast car with a k20.

you would probably have to flip the k20 sideways to make it fit, i think i'll call Hasport and see if they make a motor mount kit for this application....after that and some tyc tail lights i think it would be ready to go!

Lol, one of my exgirlfriends dads had one of those. Also, the dealership I work for has one sitting in the showroom. We crammed 4(~6ft tall) guys in it once.....I was one stuck in the backseat, two people had to pull me out because I couldn't move.

lol Funny... it looks more aggressive than our cars.

It actually kinda reminds me of the older VW GTi's...

That would be pretty sweet with a K20 or K24 Frank swap, though.

That car actually looks pretty good. It is almost 30 years old but it doesn't seem like it is.

Sweet... I did drive one once. Was like a gokart in comparison to my 77 Accord.
The Accord at the time was a major step up. Luxury, even.

See first pic here: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...rticleId=46009

I drove that thing till 2002 when I bought the civic. It was an amazing and SIMPLE car. Only broke once when the fuel pump died.

Had AC that still worked, drove real smooth, better than the civic. 4 wheel independed wishbone suspension. I honestly miss the HATCH in that hatchback. Only reason I'm still thinking RSX these days. Man, I damn near hauled a piano in that Hatch.

God, I'm getting old...
