Mid-Engine Super CIVIC - R.S.

this time I'm trying to make a Mid-Engine Honda Civic. I cut off the original fuel tank, and put the engine on it, then I will move the fuel tank under the front hood.

Hey,

I like the idea of putting the engine in the rear. But at least try to get it a bigger motor. Keep up the great work otherwise!

Re: Mid-Engine Super CIVIC - R.S.

you guys have to keep in mind that these builds are just models. Real world car rules wouldn't really apply here, people just build according to their imaginations.

I'd like to see how this build turns out too btw

thanks for all the comment.
I try to build this because I read a magazine before, it said someone put a B16A engine in the middle. the engine only got 160HP, but it beat a 350+HP Ford Mustang. so I'm try make a Mid-Engine Civic.

1:1 mid-engine civics is not new.. its been done a few times, some with success, some w/o. i think it woild be hot if you put a NSX motor in the civic instead.... just a suggestion.. good luck..

Re: Mid-Engine Super CIVIC - R.S.

sorry if i ofended you, i didn't mean to its just, a mid engined civic ? crazy talk some might sat , namely me. maybe an nsx engine is a good option its not too big and the tamiya kits com with all the stuff for mounting, i'm sure you could convert the mounts to fit.

sorry again.

I have think about a bigger engine before, but it just a Civic, so a B16A is definately got enough power to make it go fast.

Re: Mid-Engine Super CIVIC - R.S.

Who cares if its do-able in real life, its just a model for gods sake.
Nice Job so far. It should be an interesting build.

i agree, i dont think hes "weird" just cuz he wants to get creative with his modeling, i think it is going to be a cool project, and its beats seeing the same civic, over and over and over and over again
