For added realism being a civic and all the drag wheels should go on front. But I really like the color and graphics it looks great.

The guy probably did an s2000 motor and drivetrain swap, a pointless swap but has been done.

Nice lol. He could have at least tried to do like a small block from like a Camaro or Firebird, it would just mean a lot of chassis work.

The project is looking interesting already, but what is the deal with the large antenna? I think it would look better if you used a material with a much smaller diameter or went back to the stock version. I do like the wheelie bar and will definitely be watching how this story unfolds!
