id rather roll a vette engined civic hatch than my ws6 any day of the week....oh god i just said that. but its the truth, more fun all the way around, but id much rather take the ws6 out with the lady, but not on the first date

Old ball cars like what Civette's building are pretty neat. There are some old '60's style VW bugs running around in NW Florida with SBC's in them.

Hey man all I insist is that you keep vette wheels on it to give it that wolf in sheeps clothing look. Heck, if you can put the vettes interior in it too so its like only a civic on the outside

Oh damn this is an awesome swap, as soon as its done we should get him lined up with the LS1 packin Prelude, if that one is done yet. Which reminds me, Im gonna go check up on that one.

EDIT: The project Prelude on Honda Tech is now for sale

That is very impressive work, looks like its going to be a very nice ride, imagine all that power on that piece of sheet metal.... Good luck with it, I really like it since its not your everyday riced out civic.

This is still the coolest Hybrid I have seen.

Definitely up there with the Corvair I saw on Power Tour.
