Can a rear-wheel-drive swap actually make a Civic better, or is the original front-wheel-drive layout still the best? We’re putting our Honda up against Throtl’s wild 550hp K20-swapped EK hatch, to see if this RWD beast is a dream build or total heresy.
Big thanks to Throtl and Mickey for letting us take their baby out for a spin. Go check out their channel and click the link below to see the full civic build playlist!

This was FUN! Thanks for having us out 🙂
This test doesn’t prove anything. The civic was designed to be FWD. The weight distribution is like 70/30 front bias. So unless you address that issue, the civic will not work as a RWD car.
what's next? fwd vs rwd AE86 lol .. jk good work
Jimmy did a KA swap in the civic not SR20😂
I think if the civic war rwd it would have been in a bunch of movies and shows and the price would go from 1.5k to 20k
AWD SWAP EVERYTHING!!!
most rewatched part is 7:39 huh.. you dirty bastards.
put the fwd in reserve for donuts
I miss how james explained stuff
Prelude should have been rwd.
Do you i can make my fk8 rear wheel drive
Boosted boy Kyle awd civic
Most people that hate on front wheel drive. Have main character syndrome and cant wrap the peanut brain around it. Manual standard front wheel pull. Ive had both rear wheel and front wheel is underatated.
Anybody notice the airfilter inches from the ground. Dope car, not practical.
My mechanic driver b will race his AWD with u guys he's raced on hoonigan contact him id love to see it happen
Now left wheel drive
Dude, with FWD cars you need to do reverse donuts, it works like crazy
pretty much any honda should have come RWD, would be so much fun
throtl is a bunch of scammers
Personally i like the 90-93 integra hatch better than the civic…
What you eating
It’s a Toyota motor mount
i was in a dark place hahah but the rear wheel drive donut destroyed that for me watching nolan have a happy moment
This is super cool. The amount of work makes it obvious why an SR20 drivetrain swap make so much more sense.
FWD = Wrong wheel drive
I think you’re just a little biased. 😂 I bet if you were more used to the car you’d prefer the RWD
