Honda's classic 3-door, front-drive hatchback set the standard back then for those that wanted performance and driving fun without a six digit price tag or street-legality concerns... at least for Japanese enthusiasts. It took quite some time before it was finally brought across the Pacific and onto U.S tarmac.

My custom version of the famous EK9 is inspired by the Honda Performance Development appearance package & TrailSport-trimmed versions of their current-day SUV's (namely, the Pilot, Passport, and HR-V) to, as per usual, extend that "driving fun" experience well beyond the road and track.

One thing that I would like to bring to attention is that I opted to preserve the base 1.6L Inline-4 engine in it (with a turbocharger added on) instead of swapping for that heavy-ass V8 everyone uses, in an effort to preserve the sound and general characteristics of the original model as much as possible. This is more of a "proof of concept" vehicle than a top-tier competition vehicle.
