If you were to choose a Honda as a project, it would more than likely be the three door version of the fifth generation design. These cars offer the best value and it is debatable the best shape because it cries out for modifications in so many different ways, there is also the added benefit of availability and low of parts to be taken into consideration.
This version is the three door model; it has a larger door than the five door model, so this allows the seats to be pushed back as far as possible. It is a bit of a mix of styles and colours, the most obvious being the bright yellow paintwork set off against the red interior, yet these colours actually do work together, strange, as it may seem.
The actual modifications are evenly split around the car, with no part receiving more attention than any other, this gives the car a well round look and demonstrates that the builders are not just skilled in one single factor of the project.
When this model was introduced in 1992, with aerodynamic styling this was car destined to be grabbed by the import builders a decade later to restore life into the classic design. Powered by a 1.6 litre engine, it could easily deliver around 160 HP, but this modified version offers around 220 HP and that is a huge difference.
