Canyon Carvers beware
A real life "Fast and Furious" 1990 Civic? Reads scary fast...

Makes my 200hp Civic look weak....although I've haven't wished for more hp yet. (too old I guess)
I wish they would have explained how they fit a drive shaft into a car with no tunnel.

Son, you've got to pump those numbers up.

300hp 1800lbs is the goal

Makes more sense then a front wheel drive 300hp civic.

They usually cut out the old stuff and put the whole crv subframe and rear floor from the crv in there

^^^ That makes sense.
My 98 Prelude also has the 'double wishbone suspension' that they mention for the fit. There is no room for a drive shaft. I didn't realize the wagon was fitted differently.

That's not a honda, this is a HONDA
You guys heard of Bisimoto. He built an elec. 935 as well as other old fashion 911 turbos with huge HP. Well, this is his early project, a .... Van |

Sorry for going off in a tangent from Honda thread but these are for Steve.
He was and probably still a Honda turner. A lot of the local, old Porsche guys don't respect him due to his Honda background. I have seen that car go in person and it look just mean as heck. Then there's the E 935. I have to give credit where it is due. That is one baaad mofo |

What you dislike the E 935?
![]() Yeah, that blue turbo looks the part and it looks ever meaner when driven behind it. Compared to my 930, my poor cars looks limp wristed humble little 460 hp wimp even though we both may have the same 315 rear tires. I am not sure how many pounds. Even with 3500 lbs, and that HP, it will go like hell. |
