Hmm... but methinks it's working. So it's a Civic, who cares. It's getting it's own piece of Chevy!

Omg I love your car...It's such a unique ride man. Mad props. Are you ever going to paint that car? or just leave it flat like that? I think it will look much better, if its painted like phantom black or something.

Okay, well...my eyes are practically bleeding from reading all 50 pages of this thread...here's my conclusion about this whole deal.


Bro...You are a Madman! Out of all of the conversions I've seen ANYWHERE, that has to be one of the most unique rides I've ever seen (in a good way).

If someone told me they saw a civic with a corvette drivetrain in it, I'd say they were full of sh*t - but somehow you managed to make it happen.

Doing crazy stuff like this is what hotrodding is all about. It's the equivelant of when someone put the first small block in a F*rd T-Bucket - everyone said they were nuts.

Hands down, one of the craziest hybrids I've ever seen.

Kudos,
Vince

That is definitely one of the most unique builds I've ever seen. Crazy stuff, but I like it. Kinda gives the term "hot hatch" a whole new meaning!

Thumbs up

That thing is super badass, and its a sleeper to the max! How does it handle? It looks like it has really good weight distribution.

Saw you on Speed Channel the other night after flipping through the channel after pinks.

What did the Lotus run again?
