Default S2000 civic swap

I was wondering if anyone has ever thought about, looked into, or done an S2000 motor swap into any 92-00 civic. And i mean taking everything out and making it rear wheel drive. i know custom stuff would have to be done, but I want to get as much info as possible. I was thinking that the Crv rear suspensions might bolt onto my 93 coupe ex in which case I could just mount the diff and get custom axles and driveshaft, but i dont know if the crv suspension would hold up to being rear wheel drive, another possibility is using s2000 suspension. just ideas right now, any info would be appreciated

if you have the money to do this, might as well by an S2k.

it has definitely been done to varying degrees, not sure if only in EK or also EG.
I havew seen a few pics of different cars running that S2000 rwd setup in a civic hatchback.

it requires a lot of tube frame setup on the car and also requires a huge upfront investment on the S2k drivetrain...

I've thought about it a few times as a real possibility for an autox car but the B series hybrid civic is very competitive as is without going bonkers and making it a high cost rwd machine... although I still would love to drive it as a rwd car... as a rwd hatchback, it would be so sick.

i don't think its that easy (please do a lil research about topics like this before you go on misleading people) otherwise we would see someone with a FWD f20c powered civic by now

its post like that, that REALLY bother me. a RWD conversion is possible but you are looking at (est) over $10,000 for the motor & drivetrain mods that would be needed

I've seen some pictures of it in a eg hatch, couldnt tell if they were for real or not. Whats the point though, id just buy an s2k, much nicer then an eg.
