blasphemy, but at least it looks clean.

Elysian 08-31-04 01:53 AM

hmm how'd they make a honda motor spin the right way? or did they use a S2000 motor?

Kenteth 08-31-04 01:56 AM

even if they used a FWD engine, if the engine spun the opposite direction, they'd just reverse (customify) the rear dif. Done. Considering though they had to find a tranny to rape in, my guess is its an s2k motor. I don't know though, I've never seen one.

240hp out of the box before mods. That's gotta make any NA owner jealous... ;)

I was just going to buzz about how its a 4 banger too, damn...

PilotSi 08-31-04 02:02 AM

Yep, the new Kseries and Fseries motors (RSX, S2000) all spin clockwise now. I think the swap is blasphemy as well, but I do respect the owner's hardwork and creativity.

well... that is impressive though

bingoboy 08-31-04 02:25 AM

that was just about the only car at that worthless show worth checking out.

the guy picked it up as a beat s4 base because it had no sunroof and a blown motor and had a hookup for an s2k engine and drivetrain and decided to have fun with it.

incubuseva 08-31-04 02:29 AM

its too clean... somehow the inside of it reminds me of a hospital...

gerbraldy 08-31-04 02:54 AM

man, that makes no sense to put a s2000 motor, if they were gonna do a difficult swap like that, they might as well put a rb25dett up in there. Nissan is alot better is my opinion that any honda.

Kai 08-31-04 03:05 AM

Ah, the F20C. It's an amazing engine, however I agree with previous posters... for the money, you might as well swap in a more powerful engine. For less money, even.

ddub 08-31-04 03:06 AM

It's missing its side molding so its grooved inward. You'd think they'd leave it on or bondo or something.

Turblown 08-31-04 03:10 AM

I wouldn't mind a cage like that :).

604Ryder 08-31-04 03:28 AM

are those SSR rims?

J-Rat 08-31-04 03:59 AM

Not my cup of tea, but to each his own.

RotaryBuddha 08-31-04 05:56 AM

that car is very clean, even though its a honda motor. the car itself its still nice looking.

SureShot 08-31-04 07:13 AM

Hell, a Briggs & Stratton will make it go if you lighten the car enough.

Great craftsmanship.
Now, if he can just get to sound louder..

ultradef 08-31-04 08:13 AM

Pardon my blasphemous statements, but I think its hot. I personally would never swap an S2K engine into an FC, but its different and I can definitely respect all the hard work put into the car. The car looks clean as hell too.

igottafc 08-31-04 08:43 AM

i think its pretty tight, i wish i had the crisp responsiveness of a honda motor!

Aesop Rock 08-31-04 08:50 AM

wow, everyones anti V-tech...just because immature yuppie teenagers have been making v-tech look bad doesn't mean it is. This thread should be a celebration, that engine is lighter then a V-8, it fits better then a V-8 and its just practical. If i had to do a swap, i think that would be it, as NZ said hes putting out more HP then a stock N/A rotary. Don't let yuppie ricers ruin Hondas vastly improved technology. And that car is nice

dorifc3s 08-31-04 08:54 AM

someones getting an oily rotor in their doorstep.

Longbow 08-31-04 08:59 AM

as far as the reverse rotation, even if it was an issue all you have to do is flip the rear end upside down, and re weld the spring perches and shock mounts in the correct....

niburu 08-31-04 09:25 AM

Why not do that to a beat to death old FC?
The sheer cost of that would make me not want to do it.
Thats the only real downside I see.
