Still though I'm sure there is more to the story as the mods over on H-T have now locked the original thread and an additional thread, and the H-T mods have in the past been very reasonable, so I am assuming I don't know the whole story.
I say we leave it in the past and let this be the last bit of off-topic discussion in this thread.
Love the work civette, one of the guys at the office here drives a CTS-V and thinks your use of the emblem is sac religious, its awesome!

Geez, now the douchebag mods at HT even removed Civette's posts going off on them for deleting everything, AND won't let anyone post links to LS1Tech (or any other forum.) Guess they're not done swinging their almighty d!cks around...

I love this build, but it is a pretty scummy thing to do.

Civette, keep up the good work and don't let what happened on the "other site" keep you pissed for too long. I've been a member of that site for 4 years and this is the best build that I've seen since joining.
I used to frequent this site when I first heard of the psychotic swaps that involved an LSX engine.
I can't wait to see this thing drive.

No different from counting pageviews on a personal website, really, and HT gained a bunch of new members from the exposure. They're losing at least one (me) from deleting everything. Not that losing me will rally hurt them, as I don't have a Honda and never intend to get one, and therefore won't be soliciting any of their advertisers, but I imagine they'll lose some who would have. Not a well-thought-out move from ay angle.

I guess another final off-topic post. Sorry, another one from Honda-Tech.
Hey Civette. I'm really sorry about your loss and its serious inconvenience to you. I for one would have appreciated if you could have used our support to get some sponsorship. Anything to keep this awesome build going. If it's any evidence of good support for your build, there was a huge backlash across Honda-Tech for losing your posts.
However, over numerous posts, we have put forth effort to restore all the update pics from your build. Apparently someone has rehosted all your updates in your build thread, much to the relief of everyone. If that's not proof of people's support for your H-T thread, I don't know what is. We all hope you can come back and pick up where you left off for us. Your build is an inspiration to us all, and IMO, the greatest build on H-T thus far.
However, I understand if you don't want to deal with the people who ruined the original thread. If that's the case, then I'll be following it here, but please consider picking up where you left off, this build deserves to be on H-T until the end.

What a douchey website.
And they want to be respected in the car tuner community...

All right, all right, I'll admit I registered here to join the hordes of people who think your work is ******* mind-blowing, because it really is. I am truly in awe. You are truly a god among mechanically talented men, my friend.
Oh, and about the losers yelling at you: I'd like to see EVERY ONE OF THEM try doing this, and then enduring flack on forums for posting all this goodness.
By the way, I was linked to this thread from none other than Fark.com
Unfortunately, it was only in a thread there, although if someone tried submitting the link to the mainpage, it sure as hell would have a good shot of showing up.
Oh, and to fix the fact that your heads-up display is REALLY heads-up, have you considered mounting a mirror up there (or down on the dash right above the display) to reflect the readout onto a lower part of the windshield? Hopefully, you can put my unworthy suggestion to use
God damn, this is American ingenuity at its finest.
Keep up the good work!

Congrats on your success with the conversion. I personally believe that it is one of the most interesting rides that I have seen. I, as others have would also like to commend you on your perseverance and ablitity to make it happen. Don't take the critics with any seriousness as you should hold your head high. There are VERY few far and between that could pull off such a swap. Who really cares what anyone else thinks as it is your dream/reality not theirs. Good luck with it and PLEASE keep us posted. Take care and again congrats!!!

i've been watching this build for a while, it's incredible. i love it. I never liked honda-tech even when i owned a honda. 90% of the people on the site are on there to flame everyone who isn't "JDM" in every possible way.
the search function is good for already posted information. other than that there are way too many idiots with jay dee em side markers and 1600 dollar jdm wheels.
