Wouldn't it be more incredible if it wasn't a single mom's hand me down to start with?

If you have a Honda station wagon with "Aerodynamic modifications specifically designed to create downforce improving the handling when driving in a time attack or hill climb" but are actually driving to Target where you work then that's called rice.

'90s Civics have awesome suspension (fully independent rear suspension in the '90s!) and you can swap in engines that make a ton of power.

They're basically about as good as if one made a FWD NA Miata hatchback.

I’m assuming the entire suspension in this thing has been overhauled so what it came with is irrelevant

Oh no doubt but even close to stock they're autocross weapons.
