Why does the hood have such bad alignment?

That's intentional - A honda style, usually for "added airflow" or something.

I think there's some argument it does the exact opposite. lol

Sweet car though, seems like a good price?

Like it lots.  Needs motor swap or turbo for maximum enjoyment?

I think a d16y8? (whatever the late 90's EX civic motor was) would be a barrel of fun...and should bolt in.

I would think there would be a ton of parts commonality with the Civic of a similar year.

~1720 pounds vs. ~2300 for an EF Si hatch.   That thing could be a ton of fun.

The fact that it's already D-series, LSD and very light means a very cheap and easy 'better D-series' swap should be all this thing needs in my book. Looks awesome!

I'd go D16Z6 personally.
