that can give a shit less about how fast a hybrid car is?

i dont give props to anyone with a H22 in there civic. if he had that power coming from a B or D series motor then i would give him props.

dont get wrong tho. i do thinks its pretty cool to do a swap like that. but i dont care how fast or anything about it. it just not the same car anymore.

eh, i'd only really have a problem if they didn't do any of the work themselves.

what about the people who don't really have the resources to pull their own engine?

*ChrisCantSkate* · 05-19-2005, 12:15 AM

i give em as much props... hybrid cars have been around almost since the begining of the performance industry. i say props to them for going outside the box and getting a new baseline to build from.

^i agree.

I'm not aggravated at all by that. Like someone said above, if they didn't do the work themselves (at all) and was boastful about it, I would question the happiness. The sport of building is to modify it yourself..not pay $7000 and have some technician do it.

i would rather see a fully built D series civic run a 10 sec then a H series. i dont know maybe its just me.

mylittlecivic · 05-19-2005, 05:56 AM

find a different hobby, or at least be a big part of the help at the shop that does do the swap as in get dirty and actually learn something.

I have to agree with you.....a lot of guys are willing to get the extra help. I did my own swap and still was slow. But I had a pride factor in my car KNOWING that I did all the work to it. A guy here bought a Turbo'd B16 swapped CRX. And runined the motor. cause he was an idiot. DO i feel sorry for him...NO....do I think it's funny...YEs.

Well, that part seems to be common sense. WHo wouldn't want to see an original 69hp vehicle make 350 at the wheels? Of course we'd like to see it, however, an H series in a CRX running 10's is still oober cool. It's still respectable in my opinion, but I'd give a tad more props to the 10sec D series.

Anyone can pull their own engine - just drop it from the bottom and raise the car up over it.
(BTW, I just realized I jumped my build budget w/ nickel and dime stuff by like $200...oops
