dude still civics look like crap and that is insluting to know that the same kind of motor you own is powering a car that deserves no respect

Mike 07-15-2007 11:02 PM

That car is more vette than civic now buddy.

"wolf in sheeps clothing" comes to mind.

Savage_Messiah 07-16-2007 07:34 AM
now that i think of it, this isn't an LS1 swap so much as a body swap

Mike 07-16-2007 07:36 AM
its a complete drivetrain, suspension, steering, brakes, wheels, interior, mostly custom frame rails, and a civic shell......fidgets right

he broke an axle and is re-doing the rear frame to fix the alignment of the axles

thats the great thing about cars, you can do anything to them if you can build it

Or is that just some weird Civic badge that I've never seen before?

He took the "CI" from the civic badge and added the "v" from a ctsv...it's very fitting IMO

no but its an lsx motor and it's a car that shouldnt have a bigass motor stuffed in it

Slo86Bird 07-29-2007 03:23 AM

I fail to see the 'V' connection. It has no parts from a CTS-V, therefor shouldn't have a CTS-V badge.....IMO.

the V is supposed to stand for vette. i agree, it doesn't make sense

Definately not an easy job....even IF you have money or 'free cars' given to you. Done in the garage, not some pro shop either.

Give the guy SOME credit for getting it completed. Hell...I've been working on my POS for 6+ years.....:shock:
