None of that car is a Civic except its name. If you said "EXTREME HONDA," you'd be right, but I don't remember any Civic coming with a V6 engine. But if they do, and you can find one, sign me up for two.

So if I drop a V6 (if possible) into my Civic, it isn't a Civic anymore?

the only 7thgen goodies it has is a fiber glass shell (7thgen replica), the framework and chassis was custom welded by a friend of stephan papadakis. I have a dvd that had that car in it and they talked about it.

If you drop a new engine, totally new suspension, new tranny, new exhaust and intake, new chips new wheels new tires new cambers new electronics and new interior safety devices, no its not a civic.

If you dropped a V6 into a Civic...
1) you'd be my hero.
2) it wouldn't be what we're talking about.


You're talking about an engine swap. If a car does not have... a civic engine, exhaust, windshield, side windows, rear window, headlights, hood, trunk, interior, steering wheel, seats, fuel tank, tail lights, axles, wheels... you get the point. If nothing on the car is from a Civic except the name, it's not a Civic.

Yeah, his car is a "Civic" just like Matt Kenseth drives a Ford "Taurus" in NASCAR.

Still, an awesome achievement to get the car into the 6s.
