And I don't want to hear any "It's a fucking honda crap" comments, this is for people who are really keen on mechanical stuff.

Some people have WAY TOO MUCH TIME on their hands...................

If you don't have anything to say, don't say it.

World needs people with fresh ideas and people who make them real.

And what about hobbies, everyone needs something. I can't imagine better hobby than building custom cars.

in my eyes that is not waisted time. sitting here typing useless comments is. this is an awsome project ive always wanted to see get done. styling and weight of an import with american power?! good combination!

Recycle older car with newer engine. To make bad ass hot rod. Kick ass!!!

alot of detail, alot of work...and by the looks of it, alot of headaches.
very informative though...that thing would be a beast!

Indeed! And I love the fact it's a Prelude. The chassis is lightweight and looks like a bullet. That car is going to be fast as hell when it's finished!

Thanks for replies fellas.

If you haven't noticed yet, the chassis is streamlined, low and lightweight.

Check out sweden, they love to swap engines! They have lots of 4G civic's with Type-R engines. I've checked swedish Honda sites, and there are lots of B16A1 engines for sale.

But welcome to finland, you can't swap anything special here. Only engines made for the original car. So if I have 1.5 liter civic, I can't change 2.0 VTEC or any other special engines. I fucking hate this country.

He became a man

I build a lot of trucks and cars, but damn, that is pretty sweet

Wonder what it runs...

i bet it first ran some high numbers probably has to do alot of tuning and modifications before its running its best. hes just gotta go run and do trial and error seeing that this hasnt been done to often/
