Its not a matter of impressing anyone or not.. Its a matter of doing things the right way. So what if the car has the same power to ratio of a lotus exige. Its not a Lotus and will never be.. So If i had a Dune Buggy with a Ferrari swap then I'm a superstar / rockstar..

This is a Florida FAIL Thread so I guess you and a few of you S. FL Guys agree that this car is cool, says alot about how different you guys think from REAL TUNERS..

from REAL tuners? When did this thread become about tuners?
also when did we say he was a rockstar/superstar? lol

Dude your right.
This thread is the fail thread, which is why the car was posted here in the first place. HOWEVER some of us will give credit where credit is due. Wether you like it or not the fact that a 3.5 V6 was stuffed into a BITE SIZE hatch is impressive and respect worthy. I thought a tuner out of all people would understand that.

LOL my friend told me that he saw it at a car show and that it made some serious power...I wouldn't even swap any engine first off in a Civic let alone any FWD platform. Plus all the added weight to an already front heavy means it understeers like a ****. BUT, like mentioned you do have to give credit to the brains behind the fabrication I guess...Probably the coolest Civic out there, but to me it still is not a "smart" idea... just some of my thoughts...+ still looks ridiculous...

That hatch is nasty and there is no way to cover the motor plus a real tuner will tell you that hatch will walk it out on a lot of cars.

Lol^^^ that's not a Florida fail but I guess it is still a fail It's a a Japanese fad that I never really understood...

Now back to the Civic, THIS is what a "smart" swap would be

Already did lol. You dont see any outlandish bodykits but people do make their exhaust like that and put externally mounted oil coolers.

Hehe the outlet is at the tip of the star.

Good god. That's grease lightning meets the jetsons. They're like snow plows with flexi straws coming out of them.
