You need a RWD motor, transmission, wiring harness, ECU, and a lot of fabbing talent/hookups. You may as well take a frame from a RWD car and drop a Civic shell on top of it.

If you want an example of this, look up "civette."

solid axle or irs?

solid axle, just cut a section of your rear pan out the clear the axle, figure out some 4 link set-up ladder/panhard bar w/e the hell you want back there.

relocate the fuel tank, run the driveshaft down the tunnel.

new mounts etc.

really depends what motor you want.

its been done a few times.
mostly out side of this site. but its been done probably about 14 times and counting?
that i know of. most notably twinturbo v8 junkyard ej1 sheel

this is a bad idea.. your gonna waste your money, most people are just gonna look at it as a 90 civic, and your gonna have alot of issues... just save your money and spend it on a real rwd honda like an s2000.. its not worth it at all.. unless you have a really powerful motor and kno what your doing and aparently you dont..

You understand when it's done it's no longer a civic... the drive will be unrecognizable as a civic. When it's done it will only be a hacked up freak that resembles a civic. Have fun.

Maybe the guy has a 4wd wagon? In that case, pop out the front CV's, take out the center viscous coupler and re weld a solid driveshaft. Then have fun.
