Good luck getting gas for it, maintaining it, passing emissions with it, starting it, etc. I'd buy a ticket to where ever you are and ride shotty though.;) Super Mario 09-22-2005, 10:39 AM ORIGINAL: LEVIII BTW, I would assume youd be coming out of pocket near 100k for one. and at least 2x as much for insurance if decide to get it. If i ever did that, your damn right i'd get full coverage! I don't want anyone stealing my 3.5 second civic! And i fthey decided to, you'll bet they're gonna take it in the ass!!!!

Ive seen an NSX motor in a CIvic before so it can be done. I would also bet it wouldnt be cheap. se7ensectoolate 09-24-2005, 03:58 PM Good luck making a RWD Civic:eek: Nail I3unny 09-24-2005, 09:23 PM its been done XCM828 09-25-2005, 12:22 PM You can start with this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FERRARI-FORMULA-1-PISTON-ROD_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6032QQitemZ80021128 74QQrdZ1 Columbo 10-05-2005, 06:09 PM ORIGINAL: se7ensectoolate Good luck making a RWD Civic:eek: people do it all the time, its not very hard. Kappa22 10-05-2005, 06:18 PM Bull f**cking s**t it's not very hard. It's a pain in the ass, and it costs a ton. gunmetal 10-05-2005, 06:19 PM The engines run about 250K. The price of a cup car. It would be bad but it would be to much power. F1 cars have so much downforce that they could stick to the ceiling. Of a tunnel for example. But the engines do have traction control on them to cut the engine out when it senses the tires breaking traction. They've came a long way with them but are supposed to be taking traction control off of them. Making the driver have to control it instead of electronics. F1 cars are the poop. Go Schumie! Forty04 10-06-2005, 09:51 AM ORIGINAL: gunmetal The engines run about 250K. maybe for an indy motor, but not F1, thats would cost a significant amount more 315 Customs 10-06-2005, 11:15 AM ORIGINAL: Kappa22 Bull f**cking s**t it's not very hard. It's a pain in the ass, and it costs a ton. agree and disagree yes it is very hard to deal buecause you have cut the firewall out and the center of the car out to make room for a driveshaft and then custom make a rear axle housing and driveshaft to fit ( I speak from expierence) however if you are doing thr work yourself and have access to parts it doesnt cost a lot to do just a lot of time to be done right but if you have a shop do it then yes your are going to pay a ton 1998wagonhatch 10-10-2005, 05:22 PM i remember watching a race ahwile ago and teh annoucers said that the blocks alone were about $250k every time the blow the engine.... don't know how tru that is though... |
