Yeah screw anyone who doesn't like this.... b/c this is the first civic/vette conversion I've seen and to be honest I wouldn't have even thought of doing this. But now that your doing it I gotta say man it looks great. Congrats and good luck. I give you mad props it has to take alot to pull this off. So keep us up to date. By the way when it's all done post some track times, and possibly some turbo ricer kills 
I bet those damn ricers wouldn't know what the hell they got beat by

thats awesome. I figured youd get crucified on the honda forums for it. id leave it totally plain looking, put on some honda steelies and find the nearest ricer, heel turn himself crosseyed trying to figure out what just happened to him.
screw people if they dont like it, plus when you get bored with it you can yank the motor and toss the civic.
the vette wheel and cluster are nice touches.

first of all congrats you got me to sign up on this forum just spent an hour reading this whole post ****** awesome this is a wild idea lots of fab skills and time involved in this amazing..... seen this thread on honda-tech and k20a.org has a link to this thread as well. i'm not trying to start a beef or anything but i see that alot of people here are bashing hondas in general as a car enthusiast i respect almost all cars that people take the time to modify i understand most of the comments were directed at the civics with the huge wings and body kits but as a car enthusiast i get along with quite a few muscle car guys because the real muscle cars (mid60's to early70s big three) are what actually got me into cars but most people fear what they don't understand which is what i write off the haters as can't wait to see some kill footage of this thing should be interesting

I've really enjoyed watching your project.
I saw you posted it on corvetteforum and caught some heat. Ignore the ignorant phonies who are loaded and just happened to choose a 'vette over some other expensive car. True enthusiasts and gearheads respect this kind of innovation and dedication. I salute you.
Keep up the great work and keep those pics coming!
