Reminds me of a certain chevette project. Crazy though, I bet that thing MOVES though.

But at least you can reach all the spark plugs in the Chevette. Wink

That is pretty amazing. I see the "ohh it's still a honda... blah blah" on there, but what I dont think they realize is the budget factor and how much he's actually accomplished in that budget. 1000 wouldnt even be enough for the motor, none the less both the cars and all the fabrication he's got into it. Mad props to this guy, he even converted it to RWD and everything.

the weird thing is, he even used the torque tube in the swap...

most people would have ditched that for the traditional style setup with trans right off the engine... but he used what was available to him.

Props to the guy! That will be sweet! I'm curious what the final weight will be. Very suprised that the civ and vette have almost identical wheel bases.

There is an LSx powered nissan 240 at the drift events. There is no way you would mistake it for a stock car. The rumble is a dead give away that its not a 4 banger.

Best upgrade for a honda that I've seen yet!

I wonder if he is the guy that broke his motor in front of paul and a couple of years ago. Smashed the oil-pan after doing a HUGE wheelie off the line.

I did see there is a pro-street 240Z on craigslist. If I had some more spare cash I would buy it.
