For added realism being a civic and all the drag wheels should go on front. But I really like the color and graphics it looks great.

thanks for the advice man...i saw a Honda civic here in Orlando at the drag strip it was rear wheel drive and he layed it on the back bumper so that's how i got the idea

The guy probably did an s2000 motor and drivetrain swap, a pointless swap but has been done.

Nice lol. He could have at least tried to do like a small block from like a Camaro or Firebird, it would just mean a lot of chassis work.

[bigman91]

lol true there is a guy down here that has an 88 rx7 with a 351 in it but not my style

[lolsman117]

nice car and how hard is it to get a civic body

[bigman91]

it's pretty easy i got this one for 3 bucks on craigslist or you can use eBay

[bigman91]

Well had some time to work on the civic so i did some work on it.I smoothed out the headlights for headlight deletes,made one off tail light covers/an gill inserts,and smoothed out the wheels an painted them the color of the car. so without further ado here's pics. so lut me know what you think thanks

The project is looking interesting already, but what is the deal with the large antenna? I think it would look better if you used a material with a much smaller diameter or went back to the stock version. I do like the wheelie bar and will definitely be watching how this story unfolds!

[bigman91]

thanks man,mainly i'm using this antenna because the range it gives me is amazing well over triple stock

[bigman91]

Well took some time to finalize some things on the car.Finished the headlights an filled in the front bumper.Raised the rear for the wheelie bars.So here are the pics



questions and comments are very welcome lol
