i can get to all 8 plugs very easily from the engine bay.....it wont be a problem.....i made it where u can drop the 4 subframe bolts and get like 4 inches of clearance to give more room to take things like the heads and intake off......but there is actually enough room to get it all off with the subframe in place.....just doesnt look like it in the pics

So how is it all coming along? What do you plan on making the dashboard out of? Are you going to completely fabricate it?

I just spent the last hour reading this thread, and now I feel like the last chapter is missing from the book! I can't wait to see it running. I wish I wouldn't have found this thread for at least a few more weeks, I am way too impatient. Any idea when it will run?

I think its safe to say that you win the award for the most retarded newbie of the month, and I'm sure that you'll be in the front running for the annual award.

I cant get over what a ******** you are for posting that in the "Conversions and Hybrids" section. The guy is putting a ******* whole Vette under a Civic - and you are telling him to get off his own thread. Seriously, you are a very special sort of retard and I think you deserve a whole category all of your own, nobody is going to come even close to you.


........ I almost feel embarrassed to be reading the same forums as you...... I mean your very first post was "Hey fellow leadfooted dudes!" >>>>>

Oooh..... so you are one of the Big Boys hey..... nice one!!!!! 21 years old and already driving a V8 - wooooo ******* hoooo !!!!


If I were you (thankfully I'm not) I'd get myself a new handle and start again.

+1 If you dont like the thread click the little x in the top right corner of your screen and stop displaying your ignorance. If it wasnt for people abnormally modifying cars there would be no such thing as hotrodding. Then you probably be off being douche on a basket weaving site. Grow up.

Much respect for venturing into the unknown! My question is other the a distraction from the ex, what were your goals with this car? Seems like it would be great all around, good power to weight ratio. With some nice brakes and suspention should school your lotus at the road course too! IMO the greatest thing off all, is it will be a car that can contend in any realm and you were a pioneer to try something bold and orgininal with the swap. So when can I ride in it!?! -Jim

Dude I can't tell you how much I hate honda's.

But.......at the same time I can't even begin to explain how much I love what your doing to this honda.

You are creating the first Honda Hot Rod.

Put a very quite exhaust on it and then Rice Stickers everywhere. Then tell unsuspecting ricers that each sticker is worth 20 Horses
