While it's nothing I would ever want to be caught driving, the amount of work put into fabricating that kit is insane. I'm just surprised they skimped on performance after doing that kind of work to the body.

Yeah, the fit and finish of the metalwork is amazing. Pity it's on an automatic and that the rear brake-cooling induction is for drums. LOL! The engine compartment looks pretty crappy and routing fuel through the passenger compartment... yike!

As much as I hate those cheap excuses for cars, that thing looks freakin awesome. But its like the guy is half genius, half retard. All that work- but stock shifter and interior. And like Joe said, ugly engine compartment. I bet that thing sounds like all the other POS civics with 100k+ miles driving around. Why so much work for a car on its last leg? WHY A CIVIC? Imagine if this guy owned a VX...

Such a mismatch of money, effort and results.

Look at that nasty torn up original interior.

Original puny stock brakes.

I would have expected to see the 'Lude engine in there, under boost.

I suppose the needed interior and engine work will be stages 6 and 7... done by the new owner.

Whoever that is, they will have to avoid speed bumps.

Hmmmm... I think I should have title the thread "Rice-a-roni meets Jekyll & Hyde"! :p

Yet ANOTHER reason not to post your picture on the internet.http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/thumbs/Dropfest.jpg (http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/Dropfest.jpg)

I can only assume "Dropfest" refers to the entrance qualification :All entrants must have been "dropped" by their parent(s) multiple times before said entrants first birthday. :waag: :sad1: ;wtf;

All that work and no swap to a manual, no clean engine bay and that gas tank opening on the roof is SOFAKINGWETODID!

I give an A for effort and originality though. lol :rolleyes:

A little overkill for my taste, but I have to admit, it is nice work.
I kinda like what he did with the cone air filter through the hood.

*blink* ..... *blink * *blink*

wtf is that?

I love the purposely crooked license plate. As if the rest of it doesn't look like Caa-Caa, the plate is crooked. Probably had to do with the angle at which he was dropped on his head as a child.

I nominate this "car" for the match-n-gascan award!

Careful VX'ers, we are not immune to the effects of stupid-riceritis and some amongst us have the tell-tale signs of a full-blown systemic infection!

May this serve as a warning to you all! :)

Not as cool (the cone filter mod) as this:
