Yes, the hatch was full interior, nothing removed.

This is considered full interior?

Oh, I see. I saw the 12 second time and assumed that was the car we were talking about (the question had asked about sub-13 second cars).

Like I said, you're not hitting 12s in your tank all-motor, and if you do, you're doing it at a cost of drivability. Good luck with it though.
I'm sure you know who norris is. . . and I'm sure you know that his g/f's ep3 ran 12.9 with just a type-r motor swap + i/h/e + k-pro + slicks. full interior.

12's are very possible all motor, EVEN with my tank of a chassis. i'm not saying it's easy or cheap, but it's doable especially with the new crop of camshafts that are coming to market.

I will agree with you in that there are very few all motor four cylinder cars running twelve thar aren't gutted. . .I can think of a few, but I'd rather not spoil there beans by putting there stuff out there like that.

Drivability is where I would disagree. It maybe not have all the creature comforts since it's gutted, but if you know what you're doing it is very easy to get a 12 second all motor Honda to be a comfortable daily driver.

Id like to go all motor with my DC5, but the damn thing eats gas bad right now. VTEC totally drains my tank when i am on it, when i just cruise, my mileage is great. I don't see how i'll be able to add the upgrades i want without sacrificing the drivability.
