So I'm driving around one day, in my area, and i see a very odd looking car. At first I thought it was a Lotus Elise, the i saw the licencse plate > VITESSE

Take A Look...

Heres where it gets good. Now I'm guessing your thinking, WOW, at least $50,000 American,right? WRONG! Turns out this bad ass vehicle started out factory looking like this :

Thats right, its a kit car, from a 88-91 Civic Htachback.
You can purchase one in canada for about $800-900. And the kit is only $5,000 (AMERICAN)

And HERES WHERE IT GOT EVEN BETTER!
They have a coupe version...made out of an 88-91 CRX!

One word: wow! But only if they also included a V-6 or something in the whole kit...

Interesting thread, Paco, but it's in the wrong forum. This should be in the Shop Talk forum, which is for real life car discussions.

Glep : Its just a Kit for the car, so you can put any engine you want in it. They dont make engines, they are just a "Body" company. You can do mauch with that space though. I heard the 91 Si engine barely fits under the hood, thats reccesed about 2 inches from the actual hood, so there are not too many options for engine swaps.

BTW, I'm thinking of buying this kit, becuase one of my customers is trying to get rid of his '90 CRX Si. What do you think about dropping an '02 Rsx Type S engine in it, equipped with the 6 speed manual transmission???
