Crazy conversion!!

Hopefully not a repsot, but I took the best pic I could with my phone from a magazine. It's an 01 civic with cadillac cts front end conversion, widebody, 20's and I think it had corvette tailights. But it looks bad a$$. Nothing really done to the engine bay or interior. Some seats and some subs, but nothing crazy. But the outside looks sick!! Much props to this guy.

Awesome Someone find this guys screen name so I can hook him up with rep, if he really is a member. By the way, the dude is turbocharged.

"Power is put to the massive front wheels via a force-fed Honda 1.7L engine. Using some custom fabrication work, a GReddy turbocharger was successfully integrated into the system along with a GReddy front-mount intercooler and blow-off valve. An Injen intake provides an increase in air supply while a set of AEM Tru Time adjustable cam gears dial the factory camshafts in. A GReddy turbo timer was installed to ensure that the engine is properly cooled down after those driving sessions."

Is that really worth it? I don't know why somebody would ever think about doing something like that, even if it's a show car.

It's up to the person's taste. I'm into show, so I'm all into all this conversion stuff. I think it's worth it, but that's just me.

Ok, if they printed it has a turbo and it obviously doens't, then wtf.

Either the mag guys are so inept they know nothing and shouldn't be talking about cars in any way, shape, or form, or the guy lied to them and told them it had a turbo when it doesn't.

I'm thinking it's probably a combination of both.

I'm emailing the editor to find out what the deal is....

That guy is from my same body shop. It's the work of JT Autostyle. They got some insane stuff going on over there. I recently sponsered they're show car which is an extreme widebodied supra with the iRobot suicide vertical doors that are remote controlled. The finish is a chrome paint, so the whole car is chrome. That shop has some crazy *** ideas, and they do some crazy mods.
