Someone hasn't been in/seen a cleanly swapped and equipped hatch before...
Lets do some numbers here:
Decent shell, $2k
GS-R Motor, $3k
Other miscellaneous goodies, $1.5k
You're now paying insurance on a 75hp Civic, you're running mid 13s, you get 40mpg, you handle like a go-kart, you have a fairly new engine w/ Honda reliability, and you have truck-like cargo space.
Sure it isn't RWD, and sure it is "just a Civic" but is the price you pay for being "different" really worth it?
