you should really think about doing this as a business. I would pay to have this done to my 1990 civic Hb.

Cool Civette is a mind bender for most...

Great creative project!
I had been looking for a Corvette chassis, had planned to plug it into a first gen Camaro, found a car turned out to be a real Z28. The pure-ist group took up a collection to save the Z28..
So I went to a 1936 Chevy coupe, if it had the Vette chassis I would drop the body over it and go with a 50/50 balanced car, but I don't.

Note: What you had the ***** to do is what made Donald Trump a very rich man, no one, but no one ever improved the knowledge of a field by following what the books or experts told them.
You may want to look for a sponsor and take that car to the Salt Flats where the bull ShXXXt stops, you could enter the 200 MPH club with that car.
Keep it going- I want to be there when it goes over 220-

Great work- fear of opinion is for the weak.

If you really want to screw with people, put a propane tank in the back and apply for a diamond lane sticker, my '65 Shelby Clone, Chevy pisses the other commuters off, I get people taking pic's of my car and the plates all the time, but it is legal....

This was a really amazing read with the 50+ pages in this thread, but just like most people here, I gotta give props for this project. I like civics but hate how a lot of owners are always talking about their damn vtecs like they were gonna out race everyone. At least you can say your civic can out race people with the engine power to back it up!

simply put.... unreal.... best swap on this website bar none. I saw this car in the pics section at the top of the site a few weeks ago and just found this thread, are there any updates on the car?? anyone know if hes still got it?? I saw some updated pics in his album of some underhood shots with some new engine bay work and wondered if he ever got around to fiberglassing/finishing the interior and if he ever learned how to launch the damn thing ..... jus jokin. awesome car man, hope its in a good place, it really is a piece of LS history

This thread is the definition of epic.

Post some interior shots. I'm curious to see how that all came together.

hahaha....it never really came together...it still looks the same.....bought all new body panels for the car..... painting it gloss black.....has smaller tires that will look better now.....and putting it up for sale.....

as of today i got a brand new crate LSA and LS3. Im putting the LS3 up for sale tommorrow on here for a steal. and the LSA is probably going to live where my current 4.8 is in my S14 240sx drift car. I guess that will be the first of that =).
I wish i could find a blown RX-8 to put the LSA into.

It'd be cheaper just to build your own LSA. Nice set of motors though...

Look at a list of his builds. And a list of his cars. I dont think $$ is an issue$


Plus following him on honda-tech, i realized this dude has alot of connections.
