i dont think that the whole body is fibre! It would need serious reinforcement in the frame rails and loor pan! It is a unibody! Which means the body is the frame as well as the a,b,and c pillars! You could have a tube frame with a fully carbon fibre body! But then it wouldnt be a 2k1civic! Looks pretty sick though!

well guy, that civic has a custom turbo, but not a working one. I kno that 4 a fact. the owner's name is albert from fiber images, and he's the owner of fiber images. it's not boosting 14 psi, it's not boosting at all... , it has no connecting rods, and did not spend 27g's on the turbo. The person who make the turbo is Turbo Performance in Van Nuys, CA.. I saw the car when it was in process...

mohawk wasn't talking about the carbon fiber civic, read what he said. he was talking about another turboed civic in Montreal, not that one

A nice *** ride, saw it at the IRev show last month.

Just a little thought, I remember when I first got my 2k1, and everywhere I went to on the interent, everyone was bashing the car, the style and everything. This went on a good few months, and jumping to the current scene, I am seeing more and more fixed 7thGens around, especially in the streets.

Now it seems, the 7thGens have finally earned some respect, and all that bashing has turned around.

Yeah, we still cannot be FAST, but f*ck it , I didn't buy it to go fast in the first place.
