Add to that the "Silvia Conversion" for Civic/Integras.

Funny and yet sickening to me how the Honda crowd has to use parts from other manufacturers to make their car "speshal"... Mustang tails on a Civic hatch, Integras with the afore-mentioned Silvia front end, Preludes with Skyline tails, etc. I mean, yay - creativity points and good body work, but then you come to something like this (attached pic) and you know they're trying WAY TOO HARD

YES!!! ive seen it before, been lookin for that pic to show my friends how pathetic honda can get. only in hondas!!! hahahha, that is one ****ING DISGRACE. that's D-I-S-G-R-A-C-E. honda at it's worse. ugly as hell, retarded, im starting to become speechless. it's too pathetic. if they want those parts, freaking buy the damn car and you wont hafta waste all that time gettin the parts, (or fabricating it, some idiots make their own parts that are from another car) and you dont hafta make honda look stupid. then again, the honda makers dont give a damn, as long as you buy their STOCK cars, then they'll be cool wit ya.

I dont mind hondas... I hate honduhs. ya know, for a good daily driver a civic is hard to beat. throw a VTEC controller in it and you've got some interesting results.

but rice is just ghey. I've seen the 'skyline' accord. I wanted to pee on it. it was bright yellow, with a bright yellow interior. skyline front and rear. some of that stuff is just ridiculous, I mean, we make our cars into the japanese EQUIVALENT that was never sold here... but honduhs just arent nissans, or mercedes, or anything else but honda. at least when I put an SR20 or an RB25 into my car, with S15 front end and 180SX taillights, it'll be the same family, same car just different models, and it'll actually move down the road with some decency of speed.

i think the r32 conversion looks better with a coupe...since it matches the lines..but not a bad conversion at all..

i saw a civic hatchback with intregra front end. probably the best looking change i ever saw a honda do. atleast it stuck to its manifacture. i hate the skyline accords.

this is what i see on average

I agree... imagine:

- S13 Coupe
- R32 front conversion
- Wide rear fenders
- RB swap

Cheaper than Motorex I bet

im planning it, mckinney motorsports did the rear end of an r32, im trying to figure that one out.
now as for the front end, got it all covered, got all the places/sites for the parts cheap. im gonna have GTS-T. im still deciding on waht rb engine i want. no point in goin 26, rb25 is good enough, so i dont hafta convert to single turbo, get a rb25 tranny and it's only .1 difference. then there's rb20. i wanna drift and i feel rb25 is too heavy for it. but i want rb25 so i could eat domestics for DESSERT. here's a pic of a front end.


far cheaper than motorex!

speaking of front end conversions, i want to get a 240 hb then put on the s30 front end (240z) then put in a rb24de(there is one right?although turbo isnt so bad) just so it will truely be a "Z" car (old 240z's had an i6 N/A) some one did it befor but its still such a hot idea to have a 240z to me... even if its a "Z"

I saw exactly what you decribed (well, body work) at Drift Day (March event, Irwindale)... looked weird IMO
