Well if all doesn't work out it might be getting a new motor with a cam.

That would be freaking hilarious!!! And add in the exhaust cut out for added effect. lol.

I can see you getting ricers caught by cops... Open the cutout and rev it up. The cop wont look at the van, hell pull over whatever resembles a sports car

That's just mean. It would be funny, but mean. lol.

Just got my new personalized tag in today. It's just my little way of telling you this ain't a stock minivan! lol

Ha, funny cause most people will just think it's a normal license plate, since it technically can match your states lettering format.

That's why I did it. It looks just like a regular tag but it's not. My way of modding it without screwing up the stealth and telling people(that know what it means) that it's supercharged. But to the other 99% of people won't know the difference. Just like the van, looks stock but ain't. I'm keeping the stealth factor going. But it's so hard to. I want to mod it so bad. Lower it, add rims, stereo, exhaust, etc.... Must fight urges! lol.

I would actually drive that. lol. But that reminds me of my next one I would like to do. No that I have a good idea of what it takes and have a swap under my belt. I want to do a LS4 V8 All Wheel Drive Mini Van! That would be sweet.

Aztec drivetrain and beef it up

you could redo the interior maybe

Haven't really looked into it deeply. It's going to be awhile though. But it should all work. Now whether it holds up to it would be another story.

I already added the captain's chairs. lol. I added the JVC head unit from the GP. Previous owners added Pioneer speakers that get distorted at higher levels. I might do white face gauges. But I'm still try to keep it stocking looking, except under the hood. Don't really know what else to do to it. Need to keep mods real subtle.

Replace the distorting speakers with something better. Maybe put a small sub in.

Any vids of this bad boy yet???

Ya the speakers are going to get replace sooner or later. Got some other things that I need to do first. Would like to do a nice component setup in the front doors. And I would like to do a small sub. But don't know where to put it. I don't want to keep having to take it out every time I need to load something in it. I could ditch the jack and maybe shove one in there. The other side houses my rear a/c.

Not yet. Was suppose to get some Sunday. But ended up using the van as a camera vehicle for the other cars. Got so sick ass pics of the cars going down the road with the side door open and camera at road level!

man that is awesome. i had this idea just a week ago, and was looking on the web for pontiac montanas...lol! you have made a true man van. honda has no clue what the man van is about, they havent met your ride. good work!

Kinda reminds me of my old "man van" a 86 astro with a 85 5.0L tpi in it. Awesome work.
