Nice, a daily driver that can't survive another crash.

A cool project, but that thing is like a moving death trap? He changed all the geometry of the car and the structure as well. Wouldn't it be more feasible to transplant the subaru drive train into the civic? It'd have an unaltered frame that way

It would have a VERY altered structure that way.
I've did a rear wheel drive conversion on a CRX, put a 300zx drivetrain into one its no easy task. There is plenty of questionable chassis mods to do so.
What he has done, if done right, can be a much safer way to do it. He hasn't altered the wheel base or suspension geometry, he's just fucked with the unibody structure. As long as he's reinforced all the needed areas then it could be fine but not road legal and I would never recommend driving it on the road.

from the look of his work, it doesn't look that safe at all, doesn't seem like he reinforced all the needed areas like you said.

on a side note, replacing some of that body work looks to be a bitch if he ever got into a fender bender.

wow that is so cool and so not what i expected when i started reading it


i'm curious as to how safe this thing will be, but so much work put in.
