It's more like a confused GS-T that looks like a civic. I don't see much of the point in doing such an akward swap. I know honda guys go JDM and swap everything out. Am I going to put another engine in my car? Maybe a 6-bolt, but we have our reasons for doing that swap. Ask anyone about the definition of a "badass" car, and you'll probably get muscle cars, 6 cyl rice burners, and the occasional 4cyl that destroys, and no, it wont be a honda! Why don't I do a 6G72 swap into my GS-T, and then do an AWD conversion, and call my Eclipse a GS-VR4TT? Maybe I should... and then sell the car for a ridiculous price because all that work builds nothing into my self pride or gives me any sense of sentimental value or accomplishment. You buy it, you build it, you keep it.
Let's set the scene. Someone like yourself pulls up to an unsuspecting Honda. You both look at each other and acknowledge a race, thinking this Honda can't roll with you. You suddenly find out after hitting second gear, you can't roll with IT, not even close. And you think to yourself, what the fuck was that? You both stop at a gas station and you ask what he has. He pops the hood and you see a 4g63 nestled in the bay. I, for one, would have to sigh in relief that it is the engine I love that I was just roasted by.
The engine's they have are not really built for torque. That's why it would be pointless to do a b18 swap into a 2g, we're fat bastards compared to them. Doing a 4g63 swap into an original 420a equipped 2g would be pointless because you can buy the exact same car with it in there. What he did was put it into a MUCH lighter car. Which actually shows off more of how powerful the engine really is. It also shows the Honda community that the 4g63 engine is a great powerplant and nothing to laugh at. So maybe they won't try and "roll" with you since they know if they're not packin, to not mess with you lol.
Anyway, after all that nonsense babble, look at the SRT-10, PT Cruiser, etc.
Believe what you want, but that car is pretty badass IMO.
