Owners sometime take a different direction during while building their projects. This project started off using a turbocharged J32A2 V6 and FWD drivetrain. Then late one night they decided to switch it to RWD and use a Fox front suspension with the turbocharged J32 V6 but switch to a TH400 transmission. Then the builders decided to switch the engine platform to a turbocharged 5.3 L LSx V8 and use a Strange Engineering rear suspension. No word yet if they plan to use a single or two turbochargers. The body is getting a full roll cage and big rear tires. This is going to be one mean Civic when finished.
