Wow that looks pretty fareakin good if you ask me. i would like to see some daylight pics of it in the sun to bring out that sparkle and shine

I must say tho, it looks like its about to break when it squats the way it does off the line. just something about a civic lifting the front to the brink of air looks funny

yeah i agree. something about the front end of the civic lifting looks soo funny. now that its painted, you gotta do the 4 pipe exhaust coming out the center.

Default LS1 kit car - new pictures

some new pics of mine now its finished and the retro style graphics/stickers applied.
I've now driven it on track and its very lively as you would imagine, 400rwhp and 900kg weight! sounds fantastic as well with a mechanical secondary carb and the GM manifold plus the 3" exhausts.

I love Ultima's I bet that goes well with an LS7 !!

Whats the specs on the Civette now ?

Cam, slicks and NOZ ?

The sound of that thing is amazing in the you tube clips, in real life it must be even better !

Yet another viewer from a different marque, found the link on our message board.

What an impressive project, you have my great respect.

Before you think of selling that car for too little money to one of the other guys who have offered, let me know what you want for it!

True... but if somebody wanted to commission such a car to be built for them, it would be $50,000!
