The knockoff Emotion CR Kiwamis and the dumb size and ride height combo really hurts the presentation. The fact the tires are old shit also makes me think “I cheap out.”

The relocation of the engine, no luggage space, and general wut really hurts the desirability. Brake balance seems to be an afterthought.

So in closing, pbbbbbbt. Do good work for good reasons, not because you can.

It’s fine in a 911, why wouldn’t it be fine in this /s

The front suspension of an EG Civic was used as the rear subframe so all four corners have double wishbone. The fuel cell sits under the front hood. The engine is a B18.

Apparently the builder is competent and he also has his own mid-engine CRX he still drives today.

I believe Gingium had a mid-engine eclipse with the fuel cell in the front. Somebody ran a red light, hit the front end. Gas leak lead to a fire. Hope this thing is built better.

Most modern midengine cars have their right against the front firewall for a good reason. The last car I can think of with the fuel tank in the front crash structure are the impact bumper era 911s. They changed to the taller fuel tanks in the cowl area with the 964 in 1990.

I’m mean yeah? Someone spent hundreds or maybe even thousands of man hours building this thing. You won’t find another mid engines RWD civic hatch for sale anywhere else. Especially built by a competent builder. I normally balk at BAT prices but this one’s honestly pretty reasonable for what it is
