It's been done before, but you're better off selling your civic and buying an RSX. The good conversion kits that don't squeak and bang together when you hit a bump is going to run around $2,000 to $3,000. And then there's labor. The demensions are fairly close, but not exact, so putting the brackets on are extremely difficult. Acura modeled the RSX after the 7th gen Toyota Celica, so the layout of the car is designed to be lightweight and handle well. The civic was designed as an economical commuter car. If you put a conversion kit on your civic, it will throw off the balance of the car and cost loads, so I'd recommend trading up to an RSX. Then call me and I'll show you how to drive it
