I put WELL over 60-100 lbs in my trunk regularly... It's not that big of a deal..

Part of my included extra costs would be GC's with custom rates for the front to handle the extra weight...

Just FYI... one of the mods over on honda-tech has a STRIPPED hatche with a typeR motor in it... he raced one of his buddies with an h22 in a almost as stripped hatch... and he got it HANDED to him... EVERYWHERE...

People who have autocrossed with h22'd civics have had LOTS of succes... they RIP out of the corners MUCH MUCH faster than any other civic is going to...

PLUS... with a CF hood battery re-location and springs... the car could be tuned to handle MUCH better than a stock civic...

People over blow all the downsides of the h22.

but again... all the hidden costs are going to prevent me from even thinking about it unless my boss will give me the engine tranny ecu and shifter/linkage for under 500... which isn't all that likely... who knows maybe.
