The HORROR!!! 
Nice work. I'll be intersted to see the final interior. That motor is way back there. Otherwise, great idea and will certainly be unique.

lol....guy at my work wrecked it.....insurance never picked up.....we filed for the title....and i did some trading for it......actually bought it for $2000 but i removed a supercharger kit from a eclipse that the wholesaler didnt want at my work......sold it on ebay for $2000 and gave the money to my boss.....
oil sender.....lol....that was priceless.....
and about the motor being to far back.......i used the entire vette drivetrain.......front suspension, steering, rear suspension minus the subframe......i narrowed it 4 inches to fit under the car.....i wasnt going to spend and insane amount of time modifying the torque tube....or trying to redo the front suspension geometry and steering.....it works just fine the way it is......and yes the car will actually have awesome weight distrubution.....and i am trying to have this whole thing done in a 4 month time period......only working on it from like 7 to 11 weekdays and on the weekends.....it is just a toy....it got my mind off of my divorce.....gave me something to do.....

I agree this is completely awesome. Don't hate, innovate.
Please keep us updated with the progress. Out of all the builds I follow this easily has to be the most interesting.

dude how does the axel fill out the rear? You could have one of the few chances to actually USE a widebody kit on a honda. estrictlyforeign.com has a sweet one. Seriously, how many honda owners can say "yea i had to get the wide body kit so the 315's would clear out back"
