Whoops, my bad, I just saw you doing them and I jumped right to there remembering them for my car, haha. Completely forgot they were for the 1992-1995's when posting.

Great updates, this is an awesome build to watch!

Yes, but you have to install a firewall and dash sometime.

Will you be able to get the engine out? or would it be easier to just remove the body?

I wonder if you could widen and mod the bolt pattern on a set of 17" Honda wheels. Total stealth.

This has to be the most kickass conversion I've seen on here to date.
Awesome work!

No doubt about that. As soon as I saw the Vette torque tube I instantly fell in love with this car. Just imagine everyone's faces when they see smoke rolling from the rear tires. Just like everyone else has said, it'll be an awesome sleeper when it's done. Nice work so far!

I think it would be hilarious to take the Vette FRC's and modify them to say VTEC

This might be the coolest conversion I've ever seen. This might be the first time a civic actually needs a wing.
