The Lounge - LS1 civic

found this earlier, and did a search, but nothing came up. small run down: guy took a civic with a bad motor, a vette with a bad chassis and combined them. he used i'd say 90% of the vette. motor, tranny, suspension, brakes, basically everything but the body and chassis.

Man, how funny would it be to be waiting at a light, and have some rice bag pull up next to you and rev his motor. Just glance over, give it a slight tap of the throttle, and watch his freakin jaw hit the floor

NOT just a little 4 cylinder

i done that with a LS1 RX7. i heard a mean sounding V8 lope, but couldn't find where it was coming from. guy diagonally behind me took off and my jaw dropped. the sound just didn't match the car. talked to him later that night and it's a pretty worked over LS1, 6speed, and 4.10s.....in a RX7 [sm=jawdrop.gif][sm=gears.gif]

They could have used that engine on a far better platform but props on the balls and ability to do it.

he was practically given the vette and motor because his friend got a hefty check from insurance to pay it off, so he didn't need it. he got the civic for a couple hundred with a knocking motor. plus he sold many parts off the old vette, so he's putting more time than money into the project.

they're cool, but sometimes you actually want to go somewhere when you hit the gas.....instead of the tires going up in smoke

thiers always MORE STEEL or concrete to add traction ;)
