yeah its got a bp swap, its pretty nice but i know i'll get flamed for having a body kit on it too :s only thing is that it has no where near the options that honda has. there's some crazy custom mx3's that have an sr20det or a rotary swap. but those take some serious modifications.


i'm wanting to go with a 4 door civic i think. i think it'd make a nice sleeper.

PM me for details etc. I don't have a work build on it, but I can tell you how to do everything, but the harness. Had a buddy help me on the swap and he did the harness b/c im no good at wires.
