cause the guy has more money than he knows what to do with...look through that thread theres pictures of his other/past cars

[NJSPEEDER]

i wonder how much that weighs all up. gotta be nothing, but still hard to hook/control on those mini tires. i bet that thing is one fun ass ride.

[WildBillyT]

Easy: now it's a 350hp go-kart.

[Fast92RS]

Poor corvette, but its definitly differet. Aleasts its all chevy just with a honda shell. When he pulls up to his fellow ricers and blows there doors off that would be pretty cool to see.

[maroman88]

lol well he did put the motor halfway under the windshield like in 4th gens

[TransAm619]

i for one, think its awesome lol

[69BirdX]

my favorite post in that thread:

finally the tech is back into Honda-Tech, and it only took an ls1 swap lol....

i think its an awesome idea. the ultimate sleeper

[j0n]

the corvette he used was wrecked...if you read the thread the only money he's spent is on go-fast parts and steel stock to fabricate everything. He got the civic and vette for free

c'mon now thats like making a cake w/ ketchup

[enRo]

I like the name ... "Civette" lmfao. What a toolshed.

[Brando56894]

but why a civic of all things???

[Savage_Messiah]

Because some dumbass in a 305 TBI is gonna pull up next to him, yell out some redneck crap, and then proceed to have his car blow itself up from being humiliated.

Ouch haha

[procamaroz28]

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]

wow everyone put on the mullet caps for this one

[Savage_Messiah]

That car is more vette than civic now buddy.

[Mike]

"wolf in sheeps clothing" comes to mind.

[Savage_Messiah]

now that i think of it, this isn't an LS1 swap so much as a body swap

[Mike]

its a complete drivetrain, suspension, steering, brakes, wheels, interior, mostly custom frame rails, and a civic shell......fidgets right

[ar0ck]

Heres an update:

Looks like it probably drives now.. hopefully he gets some good video. I also found these:

[Mike]

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

[jin1481]

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

[BonzoHansen]

wow everyone put on the mullet caps for this one

I'm with Mike, that is pretty neat.

So he's got 'vette crossed flags and a Caddy V-series badge on the back......:mrgreen:

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

[enRo]

I wish him luck when its time to change the spark plugs.

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

[Silent Z]

I the thread he says that its way easier to do than on a F-Body.

Why, are there CTS-V parts in it?

- Justin

[j0n]

- Justin

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

[Slo86Bird]

i just got done looking/reading all 57 pages! those ricers r so rediculous with theyre stupid questions but it is a pretty cool project. and it must be nice to have money.

[Tru2Chevy]

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

it kinda looks like it says VIC...sorta

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

[rscamaro73]

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:
