STORY
In 2010, I started with a 1997 Honda Civic EX with a B16 swap. Later that year, I picked up a salvaged 2004 S2000 and started the rwd conversion on the civic. In 6 months, I was able to complete the conversion and had a blue 2000 Si clone RWD Civic using the F22 motor, transmission and rear differential. All work and fabrication was done by myself at Everyday Struggle Kustomz with the driveshaft being made by the Driveshaft Shop. The car was featured in Honda Tuning in 2011 and driven and showed for the next year. In 2013, I decided I wanted to take the build a little further. With the help of Sheepey Built, Ramey Built, Carbon Fiber Element, Magnus and Everyday Struggle Kustomz, I now have a full shaved and tucked carbon fiber engine bay with a boosted F22 sitting on air.
