ED-EF Swaps - sleeper heaven

i just did a b16a engine swap in my 90 civic hatch. it is the best investment i have ever made. i wasnt to happy with the bill until i got to drive it. now i realize that it was worth it. i picked up my car on 4/15/05. when it came out of the the shop it was complete with
b16a engine swap
skunk2 intake manifold
apexi worldsport catback exhaust
wepon R cold air intake
205/40/17zr g-force kdw
17 inch finn rims
The best part about it is the paint job, it is white with a black primared hood, black driverside finder, and rust spots. i hadn't even made it out of the parking lot before i had a slightly modded celica gt wanted to put $20 on a race. i didn't have any money so i couldn't, but i found him later on that night and blew his doors off. i also raced a 1990 fox body mustang with
302 ford crate swap
true duals w/ header back exhaust
forged rods
forged pistons
aluminum head
air induction
373 gears
he only beat me by 1and a half car lengths. the best thing is no on suspects my peice of **** looking car to be fast, so i get a lot of wierd looks, some middle fingers get thrown, and a lot of laughs when i cruise through town and im loving every minute of it. its just that much better when i win.

Good one for you! That's what I'd like to do when I find my car to buy. Keep it as a sleeper.

Nice, I love having a sleeper of my own. I love the look on peoples faces.

good on ya mate!! i love sleeper stories

Way to rock the 4G hatch!! :D

representing the 4th gen's!!!!!!!!

nice, i feel the sleeper thing, i like that people underestimate the car if they see a dumped out looking body. my hooptie has a totalled driver side fender thanks to an as*hole that moved my car while i was offshore. they didnt have my key so they kinda trailered it under my house (the houses where i live are off the ground because of flooding during hurricane season, thats down da bayou) anyway they also scraped up the paint on both of my driver side rims on a creosote piling. great. anyway so now the only thing that gives my car away is the massive exhaust peeking out the back and my 17 in motegi's. so i am sure i will be underestimated as well. i mean you see exhausts on crappy cars all the time so that doesnt mean much, and i see rims on crappy cars all the time too. plus my rims arent exactly volks racing so it really doesnt look like it would be something that has any type of motor mods. cant wait.....
