Rotor love is rotor love =P. Still can't get over the fact that he is using the stock manifold with all that custom piping XD

modding a honda just seems like a waste now a days esp an older one.. its not gonna pull chicks for you, you cant take it to any sports car clubs/meets, and the only people who like em is honda people.

i agree with you hyper, all of my buddies got some pretty quick civics but its not a "head turner"

your civic is fast sir, but it doesn't look as good my 7, girls love the top down.

yeah, that and the theft problem... even stock hondas get stolen because their parts are more than likely upgrades for older models lol

Just gotta remember that when you buy a car, esp all those ae86 corolla guys, its a great car, but imo its not very respectable on the sexy car food chain lol

The build is nice. The setup is nice.


Now, my problem is this:

There is an 800hp rotary in FWD LAYOUT.

Stupid. ******* stupid. Guy did it probably just to say he did it. I'm impressed with the execution and quality but FWD? DIAF!

Now that guy that all-wheel-drived a crx with a 4g63t powerplant and drivetrain....that was incredible!

interesting swap needless to say, but it could have been done in a much cooler car. Way to many civics on the road now a days, I would want something a bit more unique as far as the body goes. But on the other hand the body parts are cheap and there is never a shortage.

I bet it sounds like this while driving: 'Vrrrm... SSKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT *BOV* SSSSKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT *BOV* SSSSSSSKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT *backfire*'

Looks like it was done really nice, FWD fails though.
