Waste of time
NOT a Honda fan at all
To each his own I guess

I will give him props on getting it all done, not an easy swap I am sure. Would be a fun little head turner.
12-27-2007
Head turner? Head turns then pukes. Different isn't always good
More money than brains
12-27-2007
That's crazy! Rather have the Lotus, though.
12-27-2007
Different might not always be better but if it weren't for people daring to be different we would still be driving stock Grand Prix's and there might not even be a Corvette.

I wonder if I can fit that setup in my 08 Civic sedan? lol
That's prettymuch the whole point, pull up next to the muscle car guys in a faggy looking Civic and watch their jaws drop when they hear that LS1 sound comming from those fart cans. The looks would be priceless, I have respect for the guy who did it.

I must say, that took a lot of time and effort to accomplish that. after swapping the LS1 into my S10. I can only imagine what he had to fabricate. I like the car!!
anything that you put time ad effort into...is a positve in my book!
holy cow does that thing pull!

that is really cool.... but still what a ricer! G-Goly
12-31-2007
it's definitely an improvement for the honda. now it has a real engine.
12-31-2007
insane. look how far the dash is moved back to fit that v8 in there.

Here is another video of it doing a huge burnout:

Kinda cool the guy attempted to be different.
He could have surrendered to the masses and installed an ebay CAI and "SS JDM Billet Titanium" fart can. Oh and don't forget the aluminum wing...
He didn't just install the LS1 but he grafted the entire platform under that car. Front suspension, dash/int. comp., rear ind. suspension... lots of work.
But, I'd rather have my L67 than any of the shiny turds he had parked in his driveway!

looks like he made the best of a bad situation
01-01-2008
Wouldn't be my best choice. From reading other forums, he could have just modded a DOHC VTEC and get near 12s. But I guess the main goal was to be different rather than #s.
If you have the money (Judging by the cars, that's a yes) and you like the civic's body style go for it. Its your money. Looks professionally done to me without the pointless huge muffler. The drifting and calling it a civiette. Just a culture thing.
This is like the Ford Focus V8 or Pontiac Solstice V8. This is the Big engine/small car muscle car concept taken to the extreme.

Personally, I'd go for a Saturn Sky
