When most people think of the Honda Civic, they think of the 1990s riced-out econoboxes with fart cans and big wings that serve no function other than to look ridiculous. Not all Civics are the same, however, as those who know what they have and know how to get the most out of them turn them into extraordinary machines, capable of easily embarrassing an exotic car with a six-figure sticker price.

One such car is Jeury’s 1992 Honda Civic EG hatchback, featured on That Racing Channel (TRC) on YouTube. This little Japanese hatchback can do some pretty epic stuff and has a few secrets. How is this different than other heavily-modified Civics? All-wheel-drive! Throughout all generations, the Civics has always been front-wheel-drive. There’s no denying it’s the most budget-friendly layout, both for manufacturers and for those who need simple transportation. After certain horsepower figures, however, front-wheel-drive is not good.

Honda’s engines are known for being bulletproof. Further testimony to that is the stock K24 Honda unit we see under the hood of Jeury’s little monster. Find out how the AWD Honda Civic came to be and how Jeury made it work.
